January 9th 2009 was the darkest day in the history of the Panthers organization. Most Panther fans still have not recovered from the Pain caused that day. That year the Panthers looked poised to make a Super Bowl run and they had been awarded a 1st round bye only to be absolutely DEMOLISHED 33-13 thanks in large part to one of the worst QB' performances in NFL history. The culprit was Jake Delhomme. Jake the fake turned the ball over 6 times!!!!!!! the Panthers were absolutely humiliated 33-13.
(Hilarious side note- That absymal performance actually earned Jake Delhomme a multi-million dollar contract extension. A contract the Panthers would still be paying off years after they cut ties with this piece of trash QB.
This is a Huge Revenge game for the Panthers Organization. HUGE! This game means everything to the Panthers and the fans.
Despite the Panthers ugly record these 2 teams are headed in opposite directions... Panthers are on fire and the Cardinals suck now that Lindley is QB.
So as far as X's and O's the Panthers have been a completely different team the last 3 weeks. I dont even recognize them out there. They have the swagger back. One of the keys to the defensive improvement has been the immergence rookie safety Tre Boston who has been an absolute beast lately.
The Panthers will be trying to replicate what the Seahawks do on offense against the Red Birds and they have the personel to do it. The Cardinals struggle against mobile QB's.
Most importantly the Panthers cover today bc Cardinals QB Lindley is AWFUL. I mean this dude flat out sucks. No fukkin clue how this guy is even an NFL QB.
Panthers in a route.
