Expansion teams' wins against established teams unexpected
It was the second time in three meetings Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh, just as Carolina's 29-6 win against Atlanta in the opening of its new Ericsson Stadium made it two of three against the Falcons. Not bad
"There's a fine line in this business between winning and losing," Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher said after the Jaguars beat his defending AFC champions 24-9 on Sunday.
Expansion teams? What expansion teams?
The Associated Press
They are now certified members of the NFL pack ... at least for this week.
The Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars, already the most successful first-year NFL teams with 11 wins between them as freshmen, began their sophomore years on Sunday.
considering the Steelers are coming off a Super Bowl and the Falcons made the playoffs last season.
None of this should be a surprise.
When the Jaguars and Panthers were put together, they had a built-in advantage—the salary cap. While other teams were against it from the start, Jacksonville and Carolina had only the salaries of players picked up in the expansion draft — other teams' rejects.
That's not who's playing for them now.
The Panthers, who had seven sacks for minus-53 yards against the Falcons, have six defensive starters older than 31, led by 37-year-old Sam Mills. The only defender under 28 is Tyrone Poole, who is in his second year.
The Jacksonville-Pittsburgh game was the perfect illustration of Cowher's axiom.
The offense is the young part of the team — built around second-year quarterback Kerry Collins and rookie running back Tshimaung Blakabutaka, who rushed for 69 yards in the opener just two weeks after reporting to training camp.
The party line from Carolina, of course, was restraint: The record after a 7-9 first year might be something like 5-11 and 6-10. Just a week ago, general manager Bill Polian laughed when it was suggested the team had real playoff expectations this year.
But they have their free agents, too — Andre Rison and Natrone Means, who didn't even play Sunday. They also had the second pick in the draft and got linebacker Kevin Hardy, who had an interception.
The Steelers entered the game with Jim Miller as quarterback in place of Neil O'Donnell, (who defected to the Jets and had a miserable first week himself). That made the Jags 'Mark Brunell the veteran.
The Jags won't make the Super
Bowl and neither will Carolina.
So Brunell threw for two touchdowns while Miller, Kordell Stewart
Pittsburgh came back last season to go to the Super Bowl and Woodson came back to play in the game. The Steelers also recovered last season from a 20-16 loss in Jacksonville, the Jags' second win in a stretch of three victories in four games.
and Mike Tomczak produced nothing. To make things worse, the Steelers lost linebacker Greg Lloyd for the season with a knee injury, just as they lost Rod Woodson in the opening game last season.
And Jacksonville, despite that hot stretch, finished 4-12.
But they probably won't be 4-12, either.

that when I went to the meeting," senior Kylie Hunt said. "But at the same time, we realize he's doing it for his family, and that we have a strong team and will have to move on without him."

With Polito leading the team, expectations are no different than before. If there will be any difference in how the team is coached it will be in Polito's approach to the team and practice.
"Merzbacher was enthusiastic, almost hyperactive, in how he got
Chuck Merzbacher
ready about the game," junior Christie Sim said. "Coach P. is different in demeanor than Merzbacher because he has more of a laidback approach, but he's still enthusiastic about the game."
Polito, a native of Lorain, Ohio, has a long history of competition with Merzbacher.
They competed on the tennis court while in high school and in college when Merzbacher attended the University of Minnesota and Polito attended Eastern Michigan.
Frank Polito, Jr.
Polito served
I only served as men's tennis coach at Eastern Michigan University from 1990 to 1995, where he squared off against
Merzbacher, who was the tennis coach at Northern Illinois University. He coached at Sienna Heights College from September to December, 1995. He was hired as an assistant coach at Kansas last winter.
Merzbacher said he didn't want anyone else to be in charge of the team now that he's gone.
"When I hired him, I wanted him to be my running mate, my vice president if you will," Merzbacher said. "If something would happen to me and I not be here, I trusted him to take carry the burden, the responsibility that he has to face now that I'm gone."
