The Panthers are sitting at 5-5 with seven to play (that's good). But the way they got there has dampened the mood. It's a complicated week of Mailbag, and also it is absolutely freezing.

The Panthers defeated the Falcons in Week 3 earlier this season. What have the Falcons become since then? Get to know this week's opponent. 

The team signed the veteran passer to the practice squad on Tuesday, giving them three for practice again.

With less production in the downfield vertical passing game, Dave Canales and the Panthers' offense look for answers on how to make that part of the game "come alive."

After reviewing the film of the Saints loss, the Panthers know the issues on offense aren't the fault of one person. Plus more from Monday, including Bryce Young showing "fire."

A look at some of the key stats from the game, as well as the snap counts from Sunday's loss to the Saints in Week 10. 

The rookie pass-rusher, Scourton, sacked the Saints' quarterback on a crucial fourth-down in the fourth-quarter, showing his growth and impact on this defense. 

Rico Dowdle was held to 53 yards rushing, and without the complement they had counted on, the Panthers offense faltered in the 17-7 loss to New Orleans.

There was a widespread frustration in the locker room after the 17-7 loss to the Saints, beginning with the quarterback. But they all pointed to the uncharacteristic mistakes they hadn't been making.

The corner took the blame after the Panthers loss to the Saints, saying he gave up two explosive plays that changed the game. He promised his teammates after the game that he would be better next Sunday. 

The loss drops the Panthers to 5-5, and stops some of the momentum gained with last week's win at Green Bay.
