NFC South Roundup: Football Is Back!
The first week of the preseason is almost over, which will conclude with a game tonight featuring the Jets and the Texans. Then the Saints head to Houston to match up against the Texans for their second preseason matchup, which is likely to feature the starters lasting a little longer than one or two drives.
Right now though, we've got the Roundup! We have the links that summarizes what happened to the other three teams in the NFC South's preseason games. Make sure you make the jump and see more of what happened this past weekend.
Panthers News:What does the lack of urgency at WR say about the Panthers coaching staff? - Cat Scratch Reader
That they're in a steep decline?
Why it's hard to predict how Cam Newton and the Panthers will do tonight - Cat Scratch Reader
I can tell you exactly what will happen. Newton will suck. Clausen will do better, yet everyone will say Newton is the best thing since sliced potatoes were fried.
New era of Carolina Panthers football begins with 20-10 win over New York Giants - Cat Scratch Reader
I think you mean "error" instead of "era."
Cam Newton: 8 for 19, 42.1% completion percentage, 134 passing yards, 2 sacks, with a 66.6 QB Rating. Yes that is his real QB rating.
Jimmy Clausen: 4 for 7, 57.1% completion percentage, 69 passing yards, a touchdown pass, an interception, 2 sacks, 90.8 QB rating, with 1 rushing attempt for 4 yards.
Yet read that story I linked above, and you find more love for Newton than Clausen.

NFC South is a beast!
I’m a die hard Saints fan but I have to admit the rest of the NFC South looks pretty good. I was able to catch the Buccaneers game and the Carolina game and of course the Saints. The only game I did not personally see was the Falcons mainly b/c I hate them! Regardless I heard they are still dangerous. Anyway back to my point, the NFC South has the NFL covered on all fronts whether it be land, sea, air, or even the heavens above!

I live in Atlanta and watched the beginning of the Falcons game on TV (this was before I found the Saints feed online). The Falcons first team offense looked scary good. I’m glad we made what I think are upgrades on defense this year. GW will be put to the test in that matchup. We’ll need to come out with guns blazing.

That’s fitting – that’s one of my husband’s favorite sayings, and I stole my name from him – he’s upinya on the AJC blogs. I’m glad to be here. I’ve been reading CSC for about a year, and finally decided to sign up and participate.

Welcome to the land of blatant homerism, Dave. BTW how’s Turner looking…I’m trying to set up my FF rankings.

Could you two discuss that over on the falcoholic?

If I may
Turner’s is getting great reviews in camp, and really had burst hitting the holes in the first PS game. I should have probably prefaced that by saying there were some huge holes to run through. Barring injury, I think you can expect a very Turner-like season from him in FF: somewhere around 1200 yards, 10+ TDs, hardly any receptions.

Hey Dave
I have a Falcon question for you….
If the Falcons were traveling at the speed of light and turned on their headlights. What if anything would happen?

You wouldn't hear the "whump" when they ran over the Panthers, at least

I hate the Falcons even more than that crust that forms on ketchup bottles....
but I have to honestly say that I think they will be a little better than 8-8.
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug" Rick James
hmm
Really? I tend to think last year was a fluke for them, and they weren’t as good as their record or the hype made them out to be. 9-7 tops for them this year, they won’t even make the playoffs.
