Carolina's defense was leaking oil, going all the way back to the Sunday night game against the Giants. Their entire unit was sucking wind and looked completely defeated. And then they almost blew the lead against the Saints at the end of the season. The game against the Cards was about as ugly as I've ever seen a 12-4 team play in a divisional round game.

As much as I like John Fox, I really think he's gone after next season if the Panthers don't make it further.
