Despite Carolina's record, the Patriots could learn something from how the Panthers have played their last five games, says Tom E. Curran.
When Tom Brady was in town, anything short of a Super Bowl was a disappointment. Immediately after Brady's departure, the goal was simply to make the playoffs.
Yes, the Panthers are 3-10 . Yes, they haven't had a winning season since 2017. But Curran is more focused on Carolina's last five games, which include wins over the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints, a three-point loss to the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a six-point loss to the 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles.
"You look at those teams they're losing to and you look at the margins of loss and you think to yourself, should the Patriots aspire to be Carolina?" Curran said Tuesday on"This is really, to me, the definition of what the Patriots need to be over the last four games: a pain in the ass. A team that is bothering teams like the Eagles and the Chiefs, who are certainly among the top five teams in the league, a playoff-bound team like the Bucs.
"They should win against teams that are similar to them," Curran said of the Patriots."And again, they're not going to face any, because Arizona is probably the closest, and that's the opponent this weekend. Then you have the Chargers, who are going to be very, very difficult because of the quality of their defense, and you have the Bills twice.
