    I have been a Panther fan since the day we were awarded a Franchise. I have been honored to meet Mr. Richardson a couple of times, of which I take great pride. It is a truly unique experience to be involved in a Franchise from its inception. As the vast majority of fans root for teams that have been around long before they were born. 

 

    That said, we all know it's Lions week. And herein lies my delimma. I have been a Lions fan for over 50 years. I still follow them, and read/watch whatever/whenever I can. And I absolutely hate having to root against them this week.

 

 

    So, here is where the favor comes in. Is it possible my Huddle Brethren, can you all find it in your hearts? To keep the Lions bashing civil? I mean, sure you can dis them all you want. But please, please keep the name calling to a minimum? That is all I ask. Don't force me to defend them on here, by trolling me. That ain't right.  lol

 

   So to reiterate. I am a Panther fan. Who happens to have been rooting for the Lions longer than most of you have been alive. So treat me nice would ya?

No one really wants to bash the Lions anyway.  They've sucked for so long that they are kind of an everyman's team.

Edit:  And I love them for it!  fuging A if the Lions won the Superbowl I'd have nothing to complain about except the Panthers which is par for the course.

    Here is the one stat that kills me. In my lifetime. The Lions have played in 9 Playoff games, and won 1. Barry never won a Playoff game.

Of all Lions players to never have a chance.  Barry tried so hard for that poo team they kept building around him :(

 

    Between crappy GMs/Coaches, and QBs, the dude never had a chance. Panther fans think JR is meddlesome. The Fords' make him look like a hermit. Other than Millen, no one stuck around long enough to build anything.

 

    LOL Here, folks complain JR won't fire a Coach. In Detroit, fans complain the Fords' were never afraid to fire a Coach.

I like the Lions. No reason to hate that franchise at all.

But for this week, it’s all how the Panthers are superior in every facet, how Stafford will soon be exposed as a fraud, and how many sacks will Julius Peppers get on Greg Robinson - arguably the 2nd worst tackle in the NFL.

Any other week, and I’m rooting for their franchise.

    I am of the belief that the Panthers do have the better roster. That Robinson is still struggling, and Pep, or/and Addy could very well harass Matty all game.

Rooted for them last week.  Felt like a Lions fan with the result.  Won't repeat. 

 

    Well, you cannot be a Lions fan if you are giving up on us. Lions fans are loyal. Also, the Hot Takes in Detroit this week were, "After years of finding new ways to lose, the Lions add yet another one." lol

 

    You cannot find a Lions fan who will admit Tate didn't score. lol The play was called a TD, and the replay showed nothing to change that call.

I'm in the same situation.  People don't understand what it feels like to be a fan of a franchise as perennial S-hitty as the Lions - well maybe if you're an NCSU fan like I am too.  To see them play the way they are is akin to the last eclipse.  In other words it doesn't happen often!

I still want the Panthers to crush them, but really hope they do well this year.

      We were very banged up going into that Rams game. Our second best player (Horn), our best safety, and both starting ILBs were out. I feel like our defense has really been impressive considering a year ago. If our offense learns how to be balanced like they were against the Rams, we can honestly beat anyone. Those losses to the Saints and 49ers may have been what we needed to figure out that when we depend too much on either running exclusively or passing exclusively that we are no good. That Rams game showed what we can do when we are in sync offensively and it was so much fun to watch. If that offense shows up this week then go ahead and cancel your plans the second weekend in January as you will have a game to watch.

      and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards.  That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup.

      Yep, the board has amnesia to the weekly swings and declarations made.  The same cast of characters has been talked about vastly different repetitively and you only have to go back as far as the game before the last one....and just keep repeating that pattern largely backwards.  I personally feel confident that this team is not bad and it is not good.  And while that is nice to get back to be out of the literal dumpster......I don't view this team as an average team w/ a puncher's chance.  All average teams are of different molds.  We are more the, if a really good team plays bad, you will lose to us variety.  We aren't bad enough where you can get away with a bad day vs us anymore.
