With: FBN--Panthers-Davis Injured The past two weeks have proved that the Carolina Panthers can stay competitive with the NFL's best teams when get their running game going. But if they need to pass, one of two things happen: The Panthers run the ball anyway, or throw without success. A day...

With the exception of New York Knicks fans, there will not be much booing tonight when Isiah Thomas steps on the court at the Dean Dome.

Drew Brees and the Saints' prolific offense never had to play from behind in their first five games. Mastering the comeback in their last three has gotten New Orleans off to its best start in the franchise's 43-year history. New Orleans moved to 8-0 on Sunday when Brees overcame two early tur...

We came not to bury the Bucs, but laugh at them with their rookie quarterback and creamsicle uniforms. Instead, the joke is on the Packers. I don't think it's embarrassing," Packers guard Daryn Colledge said after the 38-28 loss. "The fact is they are a professional football team."

The Panthers ran the ball 44 times and threw it 15 on Sunday, which was much more in line with the run-pass ratio Fox prefers. The Panthers have never lost under Fox when they've run the football 40 or more times in a game. "It's pretty much the ratio we'd like to go by," Fox said. "But we'd still lik...

Jake Delhomme has several reasons to love the Saints. They were the team of his south Louisiana childhood, the first NFL team to put him on a roster, and ever since he left, he's been able to beat them with regularity. The quarterback is 8-2 against New Orleans since joining the Panthers in 200...

By viyer.tsn Donovan McNabb knows how to duck pressure and avoid interceptions. It's strange, but considering all the hype around Brett Favre going through the NFC North again and the New Orleans Saints marching their way to an undefeated first half, the NFC East has stayed in the background for two mo...

By Observer Sports Revenge certainly seemed to be on the Panthers’ minds. Arizona was the team that crushed their Super Bowl hopes Jan. 10 in Charlotte with a 33-13 upset win. Quarterback Jake Delhomme had a solid performance for the Panthers, including a 50-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith, but he suffered...

By Observer Sports Panthers coach John Fox said today he still believes Jake Delhomme is the team’s best quarterback, but that doesn’t mean Delhomme will start Sunday against Arizona. “The reality is we’re not operating very well there, and I don’t know if...

By viyer.tsn Although the Steelers were the only ones who beat a team with a winning record, the other three did what they were supposed to do—dismantle overmatched opponents. In addition, Pittsburgh, New England and Indianapolis proved the NFC is no match for the AFC's best.

By Observer Sports Q. Talk about the running game Sunday. Q. Have you talked to Steve Smith after saying he felt he was no longer an asset to the team? “Landon Johnson.  He returned, it wasn’t an injury.  Just a part of football.” Q.

Carolina rookie Jeff Otah doesn't stand out in a crowd. He becomes one. Gross is the best offensive lineman the Panthers have ever had. But he's never been to a Pro Bowl. Mike Wahle went in 2005, the only offensive lineman that has been as a Panther.

The Panthers believe they've finally addressed the issue of having legitimate receiving options to complement star Smith. Muhsin Muhammad is back after three seasons in Chicago, and D.J. Hackett is hoping for a healthy season after an injury-riddled 2007 with Seattle. There's also a new t...
