The Carolina Panthers 2010 schedule has been released and provides no rest for the weary through the first several weeks of the season.
The last thing the Panthers wanted coming into the season was new quarterback Matt Moore to get run through the gauntlet out of the starting gate.
The season begins on the road against the New York Giants, followed by a cupcake at home against Tampa Bay.
After a difficult home game against the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals, the Panthers hit the road to take on the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
Things finally start to calm down after that, but outside of the division, the team still has to host Baltimore and travel to Pittsburgh.
