The defense was out on the field way too long IMO, especially in the first half.  The Panthers stopped themselves on offense with some penalties and that interception.  While I give the defense credit for only giving up 16 points, it oddly felt like the Panthers put up a lot more points than they actually did.At the end of the day, time of possession was almost identical.  Packers offense gained 104 yards more than the Panthers.  Penalties were almost equal.  The Packers had 1 more turnover than the Panthers (fumble by Williams).  So how did they lose?  I agree with you, the fumble was huge, the missed FG, as well as the not kicking a FG, also huge.Also, I am wondering the same thing as you are, is McManus playing through an injury and if so, why is MLF/Bisaccia putting him out there when they have a guy that proved his worth, on the roster.</blockquote>
