Huge blunder by Carolina's coaching staff. The kicker, apparently, in half time kicked from the 58, just to show that he could have done it (and nailed it).

If Carolina were just two points behind, the last drive would have been different because they'd win with a FG. Why in the hell didn't Rivera let his kicker try the 3 points at the end of the first half?

Pretty bad interceptions by Cam Newton, too.

Carolina squandered this game.

And without Kuechly they're not the same.

I think the mood in Charlotte must be pretty bleak, tonight. They appeared legit in weeks 4 and 5... but not in week 6.

This game had a playoff feel to it. Carolina is still 4-2, and losing to the Eagles is nothing to be ashamed about.

I'm more concerned for their sake, due to the loss of Luke Kuechly. That defense just doesn't work well without him.
I'm pretty sure the Panthers would have won this game if Luke stayed healthy until the end. Right before his injury, the defense was destroying the Eagles' offense. Kuechly was reading the blitz all the time and blocking the incoming Eagles. Without him, Cam got vulnerable, under pressure, and threw more interceptions.

Luke Kuechly's function and contribution can't be underestimated.
