It'll give us a lot better idea than preseason.

We have a new staff and a rookie QB. It's all anyone has to go off of right now. Come Sunday we'll have a much better idea of where we currently stand, for better or worse.

If I had to venture a guess I bet that's what this tweet is all about. I was kinda interested in going until I saw that tickets for me and my wife would be nearly $180. If it's not selling well, it probably has more to do with the cost than it does dampened fan enthusiasm. I mean yeah, we looked like crap during the preseason but we still have an all new staff and a #1 overall pick at QB. There's still a lot of interest to see what we look like when the games actually count. But if I'm looking to spend $90 a person to go to a Panthers related event and I'm choosing between a kickoff party or an actual game, well I'll go to the game. Not trying to poo on Roaring Riot here, just being honest. I have no idea what their costs are on this thing, maybe they're charging what they have to charge to make this thing work as planned.

I'm not surprised. We looked truly uninspiring in the preseason. Honestly, I'm not excited but I'm not checked out either. I just have absolutely no idea what to expect so let's find out. That's pretty much my mindset at this point.

He watches plenty. He just gets caught up in watching whatever the hype train is. Then somehow convinces himself that the Lions were the storyline being pushed despite what he's watching. It's a pretty stunning level of confirmation bias.

This. It's not outright rigged, but there's definitely heavy " influence". We watched KC's overmatched RT outright cheat the entire game while the crew raved about Mahomes. We watched Cam's head get treated like a piñata in the SB while the crew waxed poetically about Manning possibly riding off into the sunset with a Lombardi like Elway the very year that the NFL made blows to the head of a QB an officiating focal point. They don't even try to hide it.

Ah, the old "double Olsen and spy Cam" mantra is back I see.

Yeah, pretending like the Chiefs got a raw deal because of some other team being the media darling is hilariously ridiculous. Especially when KC's RT was false starting literally every play. This is the same guy who says I make excuses for Drake Maye simply by pointing out that UNC doesn't have the same overall roster talent level of an elite college squad.

Toney is fuging TRASH. And if I'm Dan Campbell I've already lost my voice screaming at the refs about this RT false starting.

I hate when underthrown balls get bailed out by DPI flags.

Giants fans everywhere right now

Oof. Pick six off the WR's hands.

He's literally false starting every play. Wild.

Not a good look for Noah Gray filling in for Kelce there. Bro looking for the ball like

Aidan Hutchinson's mom is a smoke show.

Lions still strike pay dirt.

The turf monster with a TD saving tackle!

Love it. Panthers getting a shout out on TNF highlight that the Lions' OC was like "Nah, I'm good." when asked to come in for a second interview for our vacant HC job.

That fake punt was big. They went from going three and out on back to back possessions likely giving KC good field position to absolutely rolling and now in the red zone.

Wow. Lions fake a punt from their own 17 and convert.

KC's offense looked like it was missing Kelce on that first abbreviated drive. One first down on a sneaky tough throw to the RB out of the backfield but other than that Mahomes had some time to work but no one was coming open.

Lions go three and out after running for 7 on 1st down. Oof.

This lady is brutally murdering the national anthem live on television.

So basically, NFL execs don't know what to make of the Panthers either with the rankings scattered from as high as #4 to as low as #14.

Cowboys and Lions should flip flop too.
