Not a Crutch But a Stretcher

“Christianity isn’t a crutch for the weak; it’s a stretcher for the dead. The gospel doesn’t claim to help the weak; it claims to make the dead live again. We reject the notion of the crutch of Christianity because we don’t need something to help us walk along; we need something to make us truly alive.” – Michael Kelley

Deja Vu

Ever since watching my beloved Panthers get destroyed by Arizona in last year’s playoffs, I’ve been anxiously awaiting their coming redemption in the 2009 season. With week 1 in the books, I’m still waiting.

Carolina was destroyed 38-10 by Philadelphia in a game eerily reminiscent of that playoff debacle. Impressive Carolina opening drive and 7-0 lead? Check. Sudden glut of Jake Delhomme turnovers leading to a big deficit? Check. Early second half Jon Beason interception offering glimmer of hope? Check. Immediate turnover after said interception squashing said hope? Check.
This is two miserable games in a row for Jake, and many of my fellow Panther fans are ready to run him out of town. I’ve always been a supporter, and to be fair, our O-line was absolutely terrible yesterday, but Delhomme’s recent play has me a bit worried. However, nobody’s coming to the rescue. Time to turn it around, Panthers – and with upcoming trips to Atlanta and Dallas, time to turn it around fast.
