Despite Monday's win, Carolina Panthers still not hitting stride this season
13:47:24 EST Nov 14, 2006
Canadian Press: MIKE CRANSTON

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers looked as sick as Steve Smith felt in the first half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Unable to run, convert third downs or avoid costly turnovers Monday night, the Panthers didn't look much better than they did 15 days earlier in their stunning loss to Dallas. Things got a lot better in the second half as Smith fought through his bout with the flu and caught the decisive touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and Carolina took advantage of four turnovers to pull out a 24-10 win.

After a first half in which Carolina generated no points, three first downs and only 98 yards, the Panthers (5-4) still have plenty of problems. It also meant a less-than-festive atmosphere in the locker-room Tuesday morning.

"What we've been doing, we don't hold ourselves to those type of standards," defensive tackle Kris Jenkins said. "We have higher expectations here and what we've been doing over the past eight games hasn't been cutting it. I actually like the mood in the locker room. No one is jumping around or celebrating."

Re: Panthers struggle in win

Carolina has been a HUGE disappointment this year, but they still could turn it around. They have the good fortune of being stuck in a division of struggling teams. Anyone still believe this team, who so many picked to win the NFC in 2006, can still reach the Super Bowl?

Re: Panthers struggle in win

The remainder of the Panthers schedule looks too tough for them to surive into the play offs. Considering the just played in the least watch MNF game ever, kinda tells you they have been written off by all the pre-season Super Bowl predictors.
