Gameday: Panthers at Patriots

3rd & 7 37yd

Jerome Boger's crew is calling some real ticky-tack stuff today

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:01:52 PM
Newton to Funchess, 16 yards for the TD. Funchess' second score of the day. Beat Malcolm Butler on the slant

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:03:21 PM
Funchess beats Butler in the end zone. Nice fake on play-action from Newton

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:03:40 PM
Newton to Funchess for the 16-yard TD. #Panthers extend lead to 23-16. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/1/2017 7:04:04 PM
PAT is wide left. Panthers take 23-16 lead with 2:47 left 3Q. Patriots look punchless on both sides of the ball

Patriots making Cam Newton look like Joe Montana today https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLExtkgWAAAicXU.jpg

From Kelvin Benjamin's 43-yard grab earlier. Gillmore is the guy on the island near the 38-yard line at top of the screen. Yikes https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLEyIBoXoAA2TNT.jpg

What a disaster on that punt return. Kick catch interference on Patriots

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:10:10 PM
Elandon Roberts is questionable to return with ankle injury

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:12:53 PM
Patriots need a big stop on third and 4. Naturally, Pats have no pass rush, and Kelvin Benjamin is wide open for 39 yards. Yuck

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:18:36 PM
Cam Newton 7 yards up the middle, TD. Raises his fist in the air before doing the Superman celebration

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:20:29 PM
Gano PAT is good, and it's 30-16 Panthers with 12:58 left 4Q. You can hear a pin drop at Gillette

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:20:55 PM
Crazy how bad they've been. Brought the entire secondary back, except replaced Logan Ryan with Gilmore twitter.com/NFLResearch/st…

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:23:41 PM
Gillislee 8 yards for the TD. Patriots have life

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:29:39 PM
Excuse me, Dion Lewis 8 yards for the TD. His first of the year. Score now 30-23 Panthers with 8:46 left 4Q

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:30:24 PM
Lewis on the 8-yard TD run off left tackle. #Patriots cut deficit to 30-23.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/1/2017 7:30:25 PM
Funchess was wide open again

Panthers drives today. \\: No punts yet. Big third and 5 coming up https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLE5BeVWkAEaSEf.jpg

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:37:19 PM
Right on cue, Hightower with a huge third down sack. Panthers forced to punt. 7:49 left 4Q

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:38:08 PM
#Panthers forced to punt for first time today as a result of Hightower sack. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/1/2017 7:38:20 PM
Brady chants starting early. Patriots take over at midfield. 7:27 to go, trailing 30-23.

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:39:55 PM
Amendola lives for this. He's so good in these moments down the stretch

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:45:06 PM
Tom Brady now at 306 yards, has gone for 300 yards in three straight games, 79th time in his career

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:45:46 PM
Strong defense from Bradberry on that pass to Hogan

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 7:46:50 PM
Patriots' short-yardage rushing game is atrocious this year

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:46:54 PM
Brady touchdown pass on 4th down to who else but Danny Amendola. Mr. Clutch

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:47:28 PM
Amendola lives for this. He's so good in these moments down the stretch

Patriots tie the score 30-30 with 3:09 left. Plenty of time for Cam Newton

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:48:33 PM
Brady to Amendola for the 2-yard TD and #Patriots have tied it at 30-30. 3:09 left.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/1/2017 7:48:38 PM
Dietrich Wise sack on third down. But flag in the secondary. Illegal use of hands on Gilmore AGAIN. First down, Panthers

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 7:52:22 PM
Uncharacteristic gaffes by #Patriots down the stretch. Penalties are helping Panthers into field goal range

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 8:00:00 PM
Graham Gano 48 yard TD is good. Panthers win, 33-30. Patriots drop to 2-2, just 1-2 at home

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 8:02:37 PM
Gano's 48-yard FG is good and #Panthers beat #Patriots . 33-30.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/1/2017 8:02:50 PM
Gano destroys the kick. Panthers 33, Patriots 30. And you're AFC East leader is the Buffalo Bills at 3-1 just like everybody predicted

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 8:03:27 PM
Patriots are a Tom Brady miracle away from being 1-3. They look so lost on defense

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 8:07:59 PM
Ron Rivera improves to 2-0 vs. Bill Belichick

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 8:13:01 PM
Bills beat Atlanta, improve to 3-1, grab first place in AFC East. Patriots are 2-2, Jets are 1-2 and in OT vs. Jacksonville

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 8:15:51 PM
#Panthers coach Ron Rivera said it was all about timing for Cam Newton. Had been making the good decisions. Just needed to put it together

Instant Analysis: It is now officially time to be concerned about the Patriots’ defense bostonglobe.com/sports/patriot…

By Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton scores a touchdown in the fourth quarter. #nfl #football #patriots #patsnation

#Panthers WR Russ Shepard, who came out of high school same year as Stephon Gilmore, had an interesting tidbit on the #Patriots CB...

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 8:57:27 PM
Cam Newton hasn’t gone to the podium yet. He was randomly selected for a urine test after the game

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/1/2017 8:58:59 PM
Shepard said Gilmore is at his best in man. #Patriots deployed lots of zone. “They’re being asked to do a lot.”

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 9:00:01 PM
Through 4 games, #Patriots secondary is struggling. With all miscommunication, scheme appears complicated, which is what Shepard hinted

by Anthony Gulizia, Sports via twitter 10/1/2017 9:01:45 PM
This, plus what Shepard said, paints a troubling picture of #Patriots secondary twitter.com/dougkyed/statu…
