The first half of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams looked like a tired and familiar script to Carolina Panthers fans: with Carolina outplaying the other team only to find itself in a multiple possession hole. It was kind of that, but it was also a lot more. The second half ended with a three point loss at home to the reigning Super Bowl runners-up and the current darlings of the whole NFC. That is nothing to sneeze at for a team that ended its last season with an irrelevant win on top of a seven-game losing streak.
