Carolina Panthers quick roar – your first thoughts

Going into the game against the Seattle Seahawks, the Carolina Panthers knew they had to establish a run game no matter what happened and they wanted to establish this as soon as possible.

So if you watched the first half, you could pretty much say the game was ‘chippy’.

If you start out at the beginning of the game, the Carolina Panthers started in what looked like it was going to be a very long day. Bruce Irvin of the Seahawks beat Michael Oher, and he beat him bad, to sack Cam Newton.
