Good comparison with '15 Playoff game. I can remember a few games through the years where things have snow-balled against the Panthers - '07 St X Playoff game, '11 matchup vs. Trinity to name a few.
I actually think the way things played out against Moe on Friday was ok for Elder in terms of a potential rematch. For starters, sometimes getting a humbling experience can be a good thing. Being in a such an early hole shrinks the playbook as you try to get back in the game, but Elder also knows they didn't play well and really did get some rotten luck with 3 consecutive fumbles. That just doesn't happen in football. I'm more bullish on a rematch with Moe than most, because the offense was moving the ball and the defense was on the field a bunch because of those fumbles.
