Question 1: So besides the injuries, what’s the main difference from last years Super Bowl run?
There are two main differences between last season and this year that have hurt Carolina. Offensive line play and turnover differential. Last season the offensive line remained in tact for the entire season and that consistency obviously helped. This year tackle Michael Oher’s ongoing concussion woes have led to moving pieces along the front five, not to mention center Ryan Kalil’s injury that left him sidelined for the past two games. Also, last year Carolina ranked number one in turnover differential with 19 giveaways against 39 takeaways.
