Do you think Carolina is an 0 - 2 team

Carolina may be 0 and 2, but they have as good a chance of beating the remaining 2 - 0 teams on the schedule, including Houston, Detroit, and Washington.

It's a good thing the Packers faced Carolina early in the season before Cam figures things out in the NFL. The Packers may face Carolina again this year, in the play offs.

I think they're the best 0-2 team in the league, whatever that's worth. They've been in contention in their games, much better than last year. They don't have a run game worth mentioning so Cam has to air it out and has thrown some picks. I think he's far exceeded everyone's expectations.

GC, you been eatin far too much cheese! Now yer constipated and it's backin up on yer brain. They don't stand a chance against the Texans. The Texans are playing like they wanna be in the Superbowl. I'm surprised at Detroit but the Redskins-that's easy money.

Brian Billick puts the Panthers at 24th out of 32 teams in his power rankings. Up 5 places from Week 1.

I hope they keep moving up, but after an 0-2 start and last year's misery, just making the playoffs will be a big accomplishment.

At this point in the season, the run game is the only thing I can think of that Carolina needs to become a power threat. That said, any team that can't shut down the Panther's running game is in serious trouble.

Houston looks good, but the two teams they played are ranked 26 and 29 in the power rankings. Though 2 - 0 in the paper, they may not be a real 2 - 0 team. We will know by the end of week four.

Moving up 5 places after two losses is respectable enough.

Even in their loss to the Saints, I think the Texans proved they are a SuperBowl contender.

Worst play of the week: Vikings go for it on 4th and 1 on the Detroit 17 yard line at the start of the fourth quarter when they are ahead 20 - 17. Why? Just put the points on the board, take the easy 3. Going for 7 when you have an easy 3 is a desperation move for those who are behind, or up by only a little late in the 4th quarter.

Again Houston looks impressive in their win over Pittsburgh. Are the Lions for real?

Worst play of the week: Dallas receiver did not know it was 4th and 20 and goes out of bounds after 16 yard catch.
