You guys do realize that this is Charlotte, right? Louis CK nailed it when he said there's no reason to come here unless you're paid to be here. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty great place to live with the proximity to a number of other, more interesting things. And it's a great place for a family in certain areas. But, generally, it's a flyover city. There is nothing of note here. It's not a destination...at all. It's butt-fug Kansas with some banking jobs. That's it. Granted, I'm new and don't really get the whole "Every other city sucks" routine that runs rampant here. But...90 percent of the smack around here is directly applicable to the person dishing out the smack as well. Very little football content and a whole lotta weird geographical hangups.

 

September 29 is going to start an interesting read in these parts...

To the OP I know your just talking Smack but I doubt you will find many Lions fans that will join you in a smack debate. Sure you might find one but most tend to show a little more class.

I'll say this.... Here's to a good game that's free of injuries and may the best team win.

If you have questions about the Lions and want to keep it civil I'll be more then happy to answer them.

Meh, Class kissed me goodbye about 28 years ago. Good luck Sunday though.

our defense will come ready to have Stafford running for his life. That I am sure of

Another Lions fan (21 painful years) here.

I've read this sentiment quite a bit so far on this forum. Last year Detroit only allowed 23 sacks (2nd in the league), and Stafford had an average release time of like 2.6 seconds. His footwork and decision making seem to be better than last year as well. The same line is back (although Waddle is questionable for Sunday). Detroit has good protection, quick releases and improved mobility over last year.

My question is, what about Detroit's offensive protection makes everyone think they are pushovers? Or is it more that you guys have a good/improved front 7? Not trying to trash talk or anything, just legitimately curious.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
