Panthers 6-0 for the First Time in Franchise History

But with two straight wins, including a 27-7 throttling of their division rival Giants, the Eagles sit atop the N.F.C. East. Their offense, which struggled mightily in its first four games, averaged 472 yards in its last two (it averaged only 294 in its first four). This, despite Stewart clearly looking like he wanted yards more than the Eagles were interested in getting him down.

Carolina Panthers have stretched their season record to 6-0 after defeating Philadelphia Eagles 27-16 at the Bank of America Stadium. When you get 3 interceptions in a game, you should be scoring more than 16 points.

Tolbert has had a quiet season so far, but kudos to the offensive staff for recognizing there was a mismatch opportunity and leaning on it. Big Mike made the most of his touches and scored two touchdowns for his troubles. “We’ve got guys coming (from all angles)”.

This one wasn’t pretty.

But players such as Tolbert and Stewart picked up the slack on a night when Newton didn’t look like the MVP candidate he was being touted as a week ago. Mathews has also scored three touchdowns on the ground, three, as Murray.

Did anyone get the license plates of the truck that ran over the Philadelphia Eagles last night?

Ryan Mathews ran for 97 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown, but the Eagles (3-4) were only able to convert three interceptions by Newton into six points. Both Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff let the ball slip out of their hands twice and Zach Ertz, Miles Austin and Darren Sproles all had drops of their own, many of which came from nicely thrown passes from Bradford. “That’s the mantra of this whole franchise-keep pounding”, said Newton. “We still have a lot of work to do”. Head coach Chip Kelly is under the microscope this season for a slew of offseason moves many observers found questionable, and he would prove to be a wise decision-maker if he made one switch in particular. “The dude has a motor, like he don’t stop”.

One of the reasons the Panthers haven’t gotten a lot of attention is because they have just two true stars nationally – Newton and LB Luke Kuechly.

That’s what the Panthers have done. Additionally, they’re ninth in open field yards – yards given up after ten yards, proving that even after moderately successful runs, the Panthers aren’t giving up big plays to opposing backs.

That may change Monday night against Indianapolis.

Though it goes largely unnoticed, Olsen continues to play like one of the very best tight ends in the league.

Bradford threw for just 205 yards, failed to find the endzone, and tossed another interception. “Well, he can take his bag and go barf in it”, cornerback said.

Sturgis missed from 50 yards early in the fourth quarter. We’ve got to clean this up.

“That’s the sign of a good team”.

The game will be a homecoming of sorts for the former Patriots running back Stevan Ridley, who practiced for the first time this week after sustaining a knee injury last season.

“Non-stop fight”, Tolbert said. “Keep pounding, regardless of the circumstances, we keep pounding…. That’s what we’re trying to do”.
