After the first week of the season all looked great with a 31-10 win over the Cowboys. Since then the offense has only been able to muster 14, 13, 13, 10, 7 points in the following weeks. A trend that has many scratching their heads. Costly turnovers lately have been troublesome but the bottom line is the offense just isn't putting up the necessary points to win in the MEFL. "If the defense can sustain their stinginess and the offense can get 24-28 points a game then this is a playoff team" team captain Cam Newton said at tuesdays press conference.
When asked about recent trade rumors he declined to answer. Which would be a peculiar move by the front office, maybe the team and the player are too far apart in the negotiations? Maybe the team feels like they can cash in one the MEFL's top player? At this point anyone can guess. With Atlanta heading into Carolina this weekend it is a must win if they have any hope at squeezing into the playoffs somehow.
