The Panthers are really struggling to move the ball, and they just drew a scattering of boos as they left the field for halftime, down 14-3.
Carolina took a 3-0 lead on its first possession and has done nothing since, while Miami has gotten both a rushing and receiving TD from Ricky Williams.
The Panthers' passing attack has been short-circuited by an inability to get the ball to Steve Smith -- he and Jake Delhomme just keep misfiring -- and three first-half sacks (Travelle Wharton in particular is having a hard time at LT against Joey Porter).
Get this: Delhomme threw 10 times at Smith in the first half, and only three were completed (for a total of 18 yards). Most of the seven that weren't completed were long passes -- No.17 and No.89 just can't get it together so far. And Miami is daring Carolina to throw, allowing Smith on several of those passes one-on-one coverage.
Meanwhile, Miami played a smart second quarter after doing little early. The Dolphins got one long drive -- an 81-yarder -- and then only had to go 29 yards on their second drive after a very poor Jason Baker punt was returned to Carolina's 29.
We're moving!

Steve Smith being easily handled single coverage by a ROOKIE!
MISFIRING????? jake can't hit anything. not sure how that can be a misfire. misthrow for sure, but then again "he gives us the best chance to win". crap team
This team is totally inept.
Their QB can convert passes, ours can't, that simple...
Jake can't hit anything pass 145 yards why play safeties deep. An why the heck does Williams come out after they get into the red zone.
what a joke this team is. every team knows that Jake can't hit anything downfield except when he throws it up and one of his receivers makes a play. he and fox need to GO.
We got the Barry Sanders of this era with D. Williams. Cant win. We got the Barry Sanders of Wide recievers with Steve Smith. Cant win.
Bad QB. Bad bad Coaching. BAD BAD BAD OWNERSHIP. But hey. Our ownership has class. So we dont need wins!
End of Line.
