CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro Bowl linebacker Thomas Davis says the Carolina Panthers have to understand their window is closing if they hope to achieve their goal of returning to the playoffs and Super Bowl.Carolina is 1-4 heading into Sundays game at New Orleans (1-3). None of the previous four teams that started 1-5 or worse after reaching the Super Bowl has made the playoffs, according to Elias Sports Bureau.That includes the 2004 Panthers, who began 1-7 after losing to New England in Super Bowl XXXVIII.Whenever you are put in a position that we put ourselves in right now as a football team, to start our season out 1-4 when we had so many high expectations coming into this season, without a doubt we have to realize everything that we had set forth to accomplish this season is still in front of us, Davis said on Thursday.But we also have to realize the window is closing. We cant continue to lose football games and try to accomplish the things we want to accomplish as a football team.The Panthers are three games behind Atlanta (4-1) in the NFC South. They are 0-2 in the division with losses to the Falcons and Tampa Bay.Every game moving forward is a must-win game for us as a football team, Davis said. Were not focused in on what could happen late in the season. Were not looking for this to be another 3-8-1 start and pray and hope that other people do our jobs for us. Its all about taking care of our job right now and controlling what we can control.The 2014 Panthers started 3-8-1 but trailed Atlanta and New Orleans by only a game and a half with four games remaining. They won out, including victories against the Falcons and Saints, to win the NFC South and make the playoffs with a 7-8-1 record.Carolina coach Ron Rivera said his team understands the sense of urgency and how to deal with adversity. He offered a reminder of the 2014 team that didnt win for two months, as well as last years team that started 14-0 after losing star receiver Kelvin Benjamin during training camp.I think they do get the sense of urgency, but theres some things we cant control, Rivera said. So the biggest thing we can do is control what we can, and thats us, what we do when we get on the football field. Thats all we can do.I know its a tough situation. I know people wish we were 4-1. S---, I wish we were 4-1. But the bottom line is were not. We are what our record says we are. So we have to go out and take them one at a time. We have to play each game as if its the most important game were about to play. Cheap Adidas Superstar Supercolor .

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup.

That makes our offense go.BIG PICTUREDavidson: The Wildcats are streaky shooters but when on they can put a lot of points in hurry. They hit six of their first eight 3-point attempts to jump out to a 17-point lead in the first eight minutes and never looked back. Gibbs was outstanding throughout much of the game as was Aldridge.
