1. Lack Of Experience
Sam Sharpe-USA Today Sports
Ultimately, I get the feeling that maybe the Panthers are just glad to be at the dance after not being there for a few years. In a way, the Panthers need to pay their dues and suffer a little heartbreak before going further. If it comes down to the wire against a Green Bay Packers or San Francisco 49ers, I would go with either of them over the Panthers because of them being more experienced playoff teams. Sorry, Panthers fans, it's just not meant to be.
