They did forget the part, as they have so often this season

For a low scoring game with very high stakes Cheap Greg Olsen Jersey , last nights’ game was immensely entertaining if you didn’t expect to walk away with a win. Weird turnovers, funny scores, and impressive individual performances combined to create one of the best games the Panthers have put on television all season. where they were supposed to win the one-possession game when the got the ball at the end of the second half. But, I’m not about to let little details like that spoil an otherwise great night. That said, here are your two winners and three losers from last night’s loss to the Saints.WinnersDonte Jackson: After disappearing from the highlight reel down the stretch, rookie Donte Jackson came back with a vengeance. He flew across the field in coverage all day before showing that his speed was unmatched last night. The Saints scored their only touchdown late in the third quarter and then attempted a two point conversion. Success would have made it a seven-point game. Instead, Brees made an ill-advised decision, throwing into traffic in the end zone, and saw Jackson undercut the route of his intended receiver. The result was two points for the Panthers . Jackson kept the game within reach with one play.Ron Rivera: The defense as a whole played miles better than it has all season. That they did so against one of the best offenses in the league and one of the Panthers’ biggest rivals makes the unit’s turn around flat out impressive. All credit goes to Rivera, who has received a lot of flak this year for the defensive performance. This is his baby and he proved last night that it still has potential, despite it being a little too long in the tooth for training wheels.LosersCam Newton: You could make an argument for Cam Newton fans being in the Winners column. The debate over his shoulder has finally been laid to rest and we can stop worrying about it. Cam isn’t right. He could barely throw the ball five yards down the field. Newton isn’t in this column because he was bad last night. He’s here because he wasn’t capable of being good. For the sake of next season and any season after that http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-devin-funchess-jersey , the Panthers need to shut Cam down for the rest of the year. Let him get as right as he can for 2019 so that they can evaluate what his future can look like.My tie fantasy: It was so close! The Panthers had a very narrow path to the playoffs overall. But, more excitingly, they had an even more narrow path to the playoffs if they finished the regular season 6-7-3. I can’t imagine a better way this team could have salvaged this season than to slide into the playoffs running on the fumes of the most ridiculous stretch of games in NFL history. No team has ever had more than two ties in a season, let alone three in a row. The Panthers got the ball with 1:44 left in the fourth quarter. That should have been plenty of time to get into field goal range and force overtime. From there, the path was almost destined. There had already been four ten minute stretches in that game without a score. We were so close. Alas.Devin Funchess: From the ashes of a promising season, the Panthers nominal number one wide out has raised an impressive stretch of lack luster tape during this losing streak. Drops, bad routes, and a visible lack of effort are not what we used to associate with Funchess. Newton’s end zone interception was not a great throw, but Funchess made no effort to break up the pass and wasn’t in a position to make a play on the ball because he got pushed off his route by Eli Apple. Your effort gets questioned when you get bullied by somebody who looks like a sixth grader standing next to you. I didn’t want to say it last week, but this week I don’t have much choice. It looks like Kelvin Benjamin’s style was contagious and Funchess has developed a bad case of it.Made from Scratch: Panthers vs Giants; uncle Dino returns Hello devoted readership of Cat Scratch Reader. I’m Dino. You may remember me from a prior article I wrote several years back, and Erik has welcomed me again to correspond with you regarding your upcoming loss against my New York Giants, aka the G MEN BABAAAAAYYYY!! Can you believe he’d actually have me back? I mean, it’s not like he had a choice in the matter... what with the late night phone calls and disguised voice box and what not.Anyways Graham Gano Jersey , he’s informed me I’m supposed to be more brief this time. You know what else was brief? The Falcons lead over those Fenway frank munchers from Boston in Super Bowl 51. Not only did I lose a boatload of money on that game, I had to listen to those Beantown Chowderheads gloat about winning another Lombardi for like the 300th time.My classic David Tyree retort is starting to get a little dated, but hey, it don’t matter none now, because Gettleman worked his Gettlemagic and got us Saquon Barkley, harbinger of all things bad for our opponents. And believe you me, Panthers fans, he’s bad for you like a loaded everything bagel from Rockford’s on 88th and Broad. Last time I had breakfast there my backside felt like it needed a dumping permit from the port authority, worst in the city!So I hear yous guys are confident heading into this game against my Giants. What, cause you had a week off after beating up on some Cincinnati Bengals or Tigers or something? Get outta here with that noise. Andy Dalton has the pocket moxie of a meter maid trying to solve a south Bronx homicide, and your boy Cam Newton hasn’t seen a pocket all season.You think I’m impressed that your team is mostly healthy again, and you signed that wiseguy Eric Reid? You’re gonna need a bigger posse than that to put the brakes on Odell Beckham jr. That Luke Kuechly? He’s pretty good... but he ain’t nothing that the thoroughbred thighs of Saquon Barkley can’t truck through. You seen those things? I mean... I ain’t gay or nothin’... not that there’s anything wrong with that... but you just gotta admire the craftsmanship that the big fella upstairs used when he was writing like, the genetic code Daryl Williams Jersey , or whatever.Now I’ll admit... our offensive line isn’t running the strongest protection racket for Eli Manning anymore, but Julius Peppers isn’t exactly the knee-capper he once was either. What’s that? You guys got someone named Mario Addison? Mario is a guy who delivers me pizzas, and I don’t think he’s got the anchovies to stink up Mr. Manning’s cheese right now. Kawann Short is a threat, but it’s amazing how guys tend to quiet down once i get my pal Bruno to explain all the things you can do with a tire iron that don’t involve changing a tire.So now that I have related to you all this fluff about why your team stands no chance on Sunday, allow me to give you the recipe for another New York delicacy. One that you can converse about randomly with other oversharing southerners at your local Hairy Teeter grocery store, or your Pubix, or wherever it was Erik sent me for beer that one time with all the froo froo displays and people asking if they could help me in funny accents.Uncle Dino’s Gameday Food of the Weekeatwell101.comSausage and Peppers served however you want ‘emThis dish may seem simple enough, but it’s a New York italian classic, just like mom used to make.
