It's all hands on deck for the Carolina Panthers as they look to regain momentum in their NFC South title challenge. And the first of two crunch games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend would be a great place to start.
And they just got some extra bulletin board material to fuel their fire.
Losing to the New Orleans Saints was highly disappointing, but it didn't change much for the Panthers. It reduced their margin for error considerably, but they'd have needed to beat the Buccaneers anyway. That remains the message, and the reigning division champions are vulnerable.
