Panthers lookin for some payback
5. Speaking of payback, the Panthers also owe the Saints a little. Remember how visiting New Orleans denied Carolina an NFC wild-card berth and a slice of history with its 21-18 Week 17 upset of the Panthers? With a win at home that day, Carolina would have gone 8-8 and become the first team to ever reach the playoffs after a 1-7 start. Instead, the Panthers' 7-9 mark was just another example of too-little, too-late. "We just ran out of gas," Fox said. "It took so much energy just to get in the position to make that game meaningful."
Carolina doesn't have to wait too long to avenge that loss to the Saints. New Orleans will be at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte for the Sept. 11 season-opener. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ostcard/1.html Early 08 pick : Panthers take it to the Saints in Carolina .
