Panthers Should Ease Back Above .500

It's a safe bet that the Carolina Panthers did not spend their bye week on rest and recreation. Neither players nor fans are satisfied with our current status at 4-4, especially when our last game with the Dallas Cowboys should never have been in the L column. Was it any comfort that the Cowboys got some of their own back at the hands of the Washington Redskins, leaving Dallas also at 4-4? Not really.

So let's look ahead. Next game: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come onto our turf for Monday Night Football. That one should be a safe bet, too.
