Jeff Stefankiewicz of Phoenixville, Pa. said, "They need to sign somebody, they need to trade for somebody. They need to sign somebody."

The Eagles blew a 17-point lead with Carolina scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter led by quarterback Cam Newton.

Brandi Johnson of South Philadelphia said, "I personally don't like Cam Newton, but I'm also respectful of Cam Newton and I knew he could make it happen."

Just after the game, emotions ran high at the Linc as fans just witnessed one of the worst Eagles losses ever.

Aniello Giuseppe of Wilmington, Delaware said, "This loss is horrible. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! I bleed green regardless!"
