Another crushing loss has the Carolina Panthers reeling and looking for answers to salvage their season. Here are the quick hits from Week 5.

The Panthers were without the reigning MVP, Cam Newton, at quarterback after suffering a concussion in Week 4 but were still the favorites at home against an even more depleted Bucs team.
This Monday Night showdown was a mess from the very beginning though as each team was doing all they could to essentially give away the win. Whether it was with baffling turnovers, missed field goals or poorly timed penalties, there were miscues all over the field during this one from both sides that ultimately ended in a game winning field goal for Tampa Bay.
As for the Panthers, a 1-4 start is far from what was expected of this team and at this point the blame can be spread to just about every area within the organization.
Here are the quicks hits from Monday’s bad loss:

Carolina will take the short week to prepare for another offensive juggernaut, the New Orleans Saints, on Sunday. Newton is still in the concussion protocol but has been improving according to reports and could play yet.
