Eagles v. Panthers: First Half Recap

10/25/2015

This will be the shortest Eagles first half recap hopefully this season.

The Eagles looked like shit in the first half. The Panthers marched right down the field on their first possession to score a touchdown with ease.

Sam Bradford followed that by being picked off on the first play of the next drive. Nolan Carroll would bail Bradford out, however, by picking off Cam Newton on the first play of the Panthers' next drive. The receiver may have been down, but I'm not complaining.

The Eagles have looked like garbage pretty much all around in the first half and head to the locker room trailing the Redskins 13-0. It's a deficit that can definitely be made up, but a completely different team will need to emerge from the break.
