That streak ended with the Vikings twice intercepting Beuerlein inside their 20. We get down in close and not enough times do we come away with touchdowns. About the only thing the Panthers are coming away with consistently is losses. That's turned all the optimism the Panthers carried into the season into disappointment. Everybody's working hard.
Guys are out there giving effort.
They're doing everything they can to try to make it happen. But, until you learn how to win, you can give it all the effort that you want to. It's not going to get any easier to win. We think we've stopped the bleeding for a little bit and we can move on and get going, and something else happens. The key is not to let yourself fall into that vein of thinking and believe you've got the snake-bitten thing going or the curse going or whatever else.
