I agree with you. I don't think Smith, Peppers, and Kasay can take Carolina to the Superbowl... Sheesh, we couldn't even win until Smith came back. Just imagine the effects of another injury...

I'm stunned at how choppy Carolina looks. Granted, they picked off Simms to start the game, and then jumped right on Tampa's secondary for a quick score. But then they fell back. I can't figure this team out. Maybe they're just slow starters. They need to avoid their 2004 start, when they were horrible and missed the playoffs by one game. I actually root for the Panthers and Bears in the NFC, but I think Carolina has a LONG way to go.
