IDK about colts, thats a possibility, but eagles went to NFC title game without mcnabb
Evidently, the key is to get the ball into Longwell's hands. Thats two games where his foot and arm had a major impact.
I know the obvious answer to the Carolina's early struggles is the absence of one Steve Smith, but... Perhaps the Panthers also lack that medicinal edge that got them to SB 38.
