Article on the game this past weekend from a good site that includes a lot of in-depth analysis:

Another week, another loss yet we still learnt more good things about Cam Newton; yes there were mistakes, but this was another strong showing for the Carolina Panthers’ new QB. The Panthers may be 0-2 right now but the way that Newton and the team have played in the first two games will give real cause for hope for the Panthers’ faithful. There were again solid performances all over, but unlike last week against a similar standard of team in Arizona, this week their mistakes were punished ruthlessly by the defending Superbowl champions.

For the Green Bay Packers the first half and, in particular the first quarter, will have been a rude shock; if they thought they were going to come right in, confuse and overawe the #1 overall pick, they were sorely mistaken. The defense was caught on its heels and other teams without such a strong offense, able to score at will, would have been in real trouble of taking a shocking loss. However this is Aaron Rodgers’ Packers we’re talking about and there was almost a sense of inevitability about the comeback after a while. Were they caught short coming off of a long lay over from the New Orleans game? Possibly, but the important thing is that they are 2-0 and now they must build on that ahead of their first divisional encounter of the season in Chicago, on Sunday.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
