Not for the first time under head coach Dave Canales' tenure, the Carolina Panthers have their backs against the wall early in the season. Losing both games to begin the campaign isn't ideal, but there is a long way to go and plenty of time to turn things around.
Although the second-half comeback versus the Arizona Cardinals was encouraging, all that mattered was the result. The Panthers haven't had much to cheer on that front as yet. If the same trend continues, it won't take long for the scapegoats to be sacrificed and the finger-pointing to commence.
