Jimmy Clausen wasn't the only Carolina player who struggled to hold on to a wet ball Sunday. The Panthers intercepted Carson Palmer twice, but had four other possible picks slip through their hands in a 20-7 loss to Cincinnati. No one in the Carolina locker room blamed the drops on the wet conditions. But all agreed the interceptions that got away played a big role in the Panthers' third loss in as many games. "The ball was soggy. It was a rainy day. But you can't use that as an excuse. You've got to make those plays," said linebacker James Anderson, who had two of the drops. "Some of those picks probably would have went for touchdowns. It would have been a whole different ballgame if we'd made those plays." The drops spoiled an otherwise solid day for the Panthers' pass defense, which held the Bengals' receiving tandem of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco to a combined eight catches for 76 yards.

Fox will be gone by the end of the year, hopefully we can pick up Cowher and maybe he can change the way this team acts and plays.
