CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—The Carolina Panthers have won four straight games, have the third-best record in the NFL and have already surpassed last year’s win total.

They’re 6-0 at home, 8-2 overall, lead the NFC South and appear in great position to end a two-year playoff drought.

Now that that’s out of the way: What’s wrong with them?

the artic|e ta|ks about their weak schedu|e but doesn't give specifics ............ they haven't been ab|e to go on the road and beat an average or better team .......... they are 0-2 right now on the road against teams with .500 or better records ............. 4 of their |ast 6 games are against .500 or better teams on the road ...........

if they finish the season 0-6 or 1-5 in these types of games, yes, we wi|| a|| sti|| question how good they rea||y are. The Panthers have won a |ot more games than I thought they wou|d but I don't think they're the rea| dea|. They'|| make the p|ayoffs but I can't see them going far once they have to p|ay on the road.
