According to Sports Illustrated, since the Super Bowl era began, teams that throw four or more interceptions in the NFL playoffs have a combined record of 1-41, the 41st being the Carolina Panthers (the 40th being the Dolphins the week before). The only time a team with four interceptions won a game was Buffalo in 1981, who beat a Jets team that also threw four interceptions in the same game.
Teams that throw one or no interceptions in a playoff game win 70% of their games. Teams that throw two or more interceptions in a playoff game win only 30% of their games.Teams that have fewer interceptions than their opponents win 82% of the games.
The two best quarterbacks at avoiding interceptions in the playoffs were Bart Starr and Tom Brady, who both were fairly successful.

They lost because the other team scored more points.
You can now speculate about why the other team scored more points.

Re: Why the Panthers Lost
Interceptions are an epiphenomenon, for the most part, teams are getting beat in the trenches, and then failures with the skill players follow. I did not watch Carolina, so it might have been Delhomme stinkology, but skill player failures I believe correlate with "pressure" -- not BIlly Joel song pressure, just 300 pound guy is going to run into you as hard as he possibly can pressure.

That depends on whether you believe it takes a smartass to give a smartassish answer or not......

Re: Why the Panthers Lost
I said to friends before the game the key was to neutralize 2 people Julius Peppers on defense and Steve Smith on offense. If the Panthers do not get a good pass rush their secondary is vulnerable. If Smith isn't open for a key third down conversion their offense stalls. I guess Grimm and Pendergast thought so also.

Nope, not if Delhomme's birthday was still January 10th 5 years ago. They beat the Rams in double OT 5 years ago yesterday while I was at home suffering from the after-effects of my kidney stone blasting....

Re: Why the Panthers Lost
jake has had a few games like that this year.I think he was 7 of 25 with 4 picks vs Oakland..
I like what baltomo did.Run it on 3rd and 8 on your side of the field and let your defense win it.
the stillers should do the same.its like poker.patience beats riskiness.

Re: Why the Panthers Lost
now I am hoping "epiphenomenon" will show up as a Sploofus answer.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
