What a difference one week makes in the NFL.Last week, the Carolina Panthers were getting smashed in Tampa Bay, 27-3. This week, they put the wood to the New Orleans Saints, 30-7.
When Panther fans tell you that they are a legit Super Bowl contender, they point to games like this. Carolina was simply awesome. The double-barrel rushing attack was on point; Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams split carries and totaled 134 yards. Steve Smith finally looked amazing with 122 yards receiving and a 39-yard touchdown grab under two defenders that I'm still not sure how he caught.
The defense was beautiful as well. After giving up a Saints touchdown to start the 2nd quarter, Carolina shut down New Orleans. Julius Peppers, Thomas Davis and Ken Lucas were everywhere as they held Drew Brees to just 231 yards.
How about this: only three Carolina penalties.
Sure they played a Saints team that wasn't very healthy. Jeremy Shockey and Marques Colston still look like they could use a few more weeks to heal and they lost Reggie Bush just before halftime. It's still a big win against a division opponent in the underrated NFC South.
Carolina also stays in a tie with a Buccaneers team that seems to be heating up.
New Orleans is in a bit of a hole right now. Not only are they in the NFC South basement but now have to travel to London for a "home game" against the equally desperate San Diego Chargers. Bush won't make that London trip as he is heading to Alabama to see about surgery on his knee.
