A Valiant Effort From Luke Kuechly and the Defense, but a Loss Is a Loss | Max Henson/Panthers.com

    Quarterback Cam Newton said he had a hard time looking his defensive teammates in the eye after Thursday night's 20-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Down six points with 1:28 remaining in what was, for all intents and purposes, a must-win game, the Carolina Panthers needed less than a yard to stay alive. Normally, the ball would start and end in Cam Newton's hands.

    But this isn't a normal Cam Newton.

Carolina Panthers: Why It's Not Time to Panic Just Yet | Joshua Altorfer/Cat Crave

    The Panthers first loss of the season to the Los Angeles Rams was understandable. The Rams are a well-coached, complete team that went all the way to the Super Bowl last year. The loss Thursday night to the Buccaneers is a lot tougher to swallow.

    Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has learned a valuable lesson over the past several months. Some of the most basic principles in his stock market empire can be applied just as effectively to football.
