There is no sugar coating what the Carolina Panthers offense has done the past couple of weeks. Simply put, it has been bad. An offense that had been very efficient at running the ball and doing just enough through the air has come to a screeching halt, mainly due to injury issues.
If you read Erik Sommer’s latest Hog Molly Report, you might have gleaned this nugget:
I hate to say it, but the Carolina Panthers we saw before the Kelvin Benjamin trade are back. It’s a direct result of not being able to field any credible speed threat on the outside, so defenses like Atlanta are simply taking away Greg Olsen, stacking the box and daring someone else to make a play.
