What does the loss to the Panthers mean for the Giants?
Josh Norman and the rest of the secondary took Odell Beckham Jr. out of the game and made him lose his mind, Eli Manning looked exactly like his critics usually describe him as and basically, this was headed towards an easy finish for the Panthers, on their way to 15-0. In those 20 games, Newton has passed for 41 touchdowns and ran for another 10. If he shredded the Giants defense in the first half, why should it be a problem with the game on the line and 1:46 on the clock? Luckily the official seemed to get up without being in too much pain. His 30 points in standard-scoring leagues were a season-high after posting a total of six points in his last four games combined. It comes down to the final minutes and seconds of the game and our last second field goal.
We spoke with Teheran Jones, owner of the Exclusive Game store in Atlanta, who says Cam came up with the idea earlier this year to make the fox tails… which Jones usually uses on the hoods of jackets. They’re a good team and they did a good job and got the win. He is Carolina’s critical Jenga piece and been the consistent piece in each of the team’s 14 victories thus far. “But definitely got some tight losses this year that could’ve gone different ways”. The Panthers are 3-0 against those teams, winning all three games by double digits and an average margin of 19.3 points. The Panthers have two more games to make history: at Atlanta (7-7) and vs. Tampa Bay (6-8).
“I said, ‘Listen here explicit”.
“The truth of the matter is, to win this one in this fashion after struggling like we did in the third and fourth quarters, but we had enough resolve to win at the end, that’s huge”, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
The season is heating up, and as ever it’s tough to predict. Last week, I went 11-5 with my picks, so here’s to another strong showing in an intriguing Week 16.
