This from NFL.com. It's meh. Tepid reaction but that's to be expected at this point:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000535029/article/42-things-we-learned-in-week-2-pats-still-team-to-beat

Carolina Panthers 24, Houston Texans 17

 

1. Cam Newton is going to have to do this on his own. Outside of a beautiful touch pass bomb to Ted Ginn Jr. and a few fantastic catches by Greg Olsen, the Panthers are 2-0 thanks to a player that does everything but kick the extra points. Newton led the Panthers in rushing with 76 yards on Sunday in the face of an absolutely relentless pass rush.

2. Bill O'Brien is coaching the hell out of this Texans team and it's unfortunate that he won't have the record to show for it. After an overwhelmingly skittish Ryan Mallett tossed the first half away, O'Brien did a nice job of adjusting the game plan and giving him some underneath routes to hit in order to give Mallett his confidence back. In a game where Houston was thoroughly dominated by the Panthers, he had them within 20 yards of overtime.

3. Shaq Thompson isn't lighting up the box score like Luke Kuechly, but he's been a welcome addition to Carolina's linebacking corps. Is there any question that they have the most athletic set of non-rush linebackers in football right now? It may be overlooked, but their ability to control the intermediate portion of the field is winning them games.

With the Eagles falling on their face and Dallas losing guys my $100 on the Giants winning the East is looking pretty good. I just felt like all of you should know

The Giants have imploded the first 2 games. I agree they may win by default, but I would not rule out Dallas until they start losing.

He's old. Generally old people don't give a fug.

Coughlin is an obsessive detail freak. He definitely gives a fug.  I just think his best coaching days might be behind him.

I could see him winding up with a front office role of some sort in New York. He was actually a pretty good talent evaluator when he had full control in Jacksonville.

I don't think the Eagles, and Seahawks are as bad as their records indicate.

If we can get some consistency from our WR's (and our running game, we can't always expect damn near historic rushing totals from Cam every week to win games) in the coming weeks, we will be right in the mix.

What about some of the other 0-2s?

I'm beginning to wonder if Tom Coughlin just doesn't have it anymore.

He's a sharp football mind, but lately his gameday coaching hasn't been very good.

Yea they gave up both their games due to bad coaching, but dont forget the bad play by their 2-time SB MVP quarterback!  He should be leaps and bounds better than he has been.  Last week's clock management decisions were those of a 3rd string, and his 2-minute drill yesterday was absolutely horrid.  No excuse on his end.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
