Panthers' bad break

A lot went wrong for the Carolina Panthers in their 24-14 loss to Green Bay on Monday night. Potentially, Steve Smith's broken leg, suffered while being tackled in the fourth quarter, could've been the worst of it.

This has become a passing offense, and Smith is the main target. While it's too early to say how long the receiver's out, chances are it'll be at least half the season, probably more.

How tough will it be for the Panthers to score points without Smith in there and to keep defenses from loading up against the run?
