4 glaring factors behind another dismal Panthers loss at the Giants

What were some glaring factors behind yet another dismal performance and loss for the Carolina Panthers at the New York Giants in Week 2?

Another week and yet another ugly Carolina Panthers loss to break down after they dropped to 0-2 on the season, painfully losing 19-16. At least last week the struggling franchise could blame the officials for two very questionable calls that set up an improbable field goal that gave the Cleveland Browns victory in Week 1.

This time around, not so much.

The officials aren’t here to scapegoat in an ugly loss to the Daniel Jones-led New York Giants. A result that piles further pressure on beleaguered head coach Matt Rhule.

Anytime you lose to Jones and the Giants it is cause for evaluation. A close look at exactly what is going wrong for your organization.

This is the second time that Carolina has dropped a game to the Giants in as many years with the team losing 25-3 last season. It was another indicator that progression isn’t going as anticipated.

Perhaps the team can hang their hat on a 13-point improvement. This is doubtful, however, for a franchise growing increasingly tired of an ineffective offense and head-scratching coaching decisions.

The problems in Carolina didn’t leave when the team benched Sam Darnold and it appears they are in for another long season. With this in mind, let’s break down four glaring factors behind another embarrassing defeat.
