For years, John Kasay has been the one Carolina Panther we could all count on.

Through good seasons and bad, the reliability of Kasay’s right foot has been like money in the bank ... that is until Sunday’s loss against the Cleveland Browns.

With time running out, Kasay banged a game-winning field goal attempt off the left upright, sending the Panthers to a 24-23 defeat and all but assuring the team a 1-15 season.

Aside from the Kasay miss, here are the Top 10 signs that the Panthers are done for the year:
