How the Locals were Looking Sunday in the NFL: Carolina Panthers beat Eagles IF Xavier Legette catches that late pass at the 2-yard line

It’s not even a big IF…If the Carolina Panthers Xavier Legette makes that catch at the Phildelphia Eagles’ two-yard late in the game on Sunday, the Panthers just beat the Eagles, 23-22…Got to make that catch…Had it in his hands and the ball slipped out just enough to make contact with the ground, and it was ruled an incomplete pass…Secure that Catch…Make the Play…Would have been “The Play of the Day”…Legette makes the catch, and then Chuba Hubbard runs the ball in from the two, the Panthers get the PAT kick from Eddy Pineiro and game over, the Panthers win it, 23-22, and their record would be (4-8), instead of (3-9)….Got to find some way to FINISH these close games, get the wins, and get back home and get back to work…Need more work, and need more of the ‘Finishing Touch’….There may not be a huge difference in the (3-9), and the (4-8) records, but I will take any win, I can get my hands on…….
