What Lions fans are saying

What are Lions fans saying about the Panthers coming to town? For the answer, I took a gander HERE

 

On the Panthers win in New England

Quote

Seems like Carolina played the game of their life against the Pats. Hard to imagine them going out and doing that again – it's likely they'll come out flat. And the Lions could have one of those home rebound games.

Game of their lives against the Pats? I mean, it was a fun victory, but doesn't crack the top 10 in Panthers wins during the Cam Newton era. There is nothing about the game in New England that would cause the Panthers to come out flat. If anything, it will provide momentum. 

 

On the Lions favorable turnover ratio

Quote

Yes, I don't mean to be a wet blanket but the turnover ratio has been really lucky. The Lions and Stafford were insanely lucky against the Vikings there were a few throws that should have been picked off. The way Caldwell manages games is also likely to bite the Lions at some point. Caldwell does his best to manage and control the situations but it means the Lions are never really going to put a team away, essentially Caldwell manages to keep the games close.

The Panthers won't finish the season last in turnovers, they just won't. This means a wealth of them are coming soon to compensate for the dry spell. Seems like there is always some surprising stat out of any NFL game, something unexpected. The Panthers winning the turnover battle on Sunday could be that stat. 

 

On the outcome of the game

Quote


I just do not see us winning this game.  Win this game and my thoughts on how far we may be able to go this year change.  This is just not a game the Lions win.

 

Many Lions fans are confident, but not all. And who could blame them, than fan base has been beat down for so long they are like victims of long term domestic violence. Even when they should be confident, they still flinch when someone lifts a finger.

I especially enjoyed the post about Cam Newton's 2015 MVP season when he was surrounded by immense Talent.

Let that one sink in for a moment.

LOL, like Ted Ginn and Philly Brown

To me it comes down to the sideline demeanor battle between Caldwell and Rivera. Whichever coach makes a facial expression that doesn't show confusion first wins the battle and the game.

so, a tie? who can have a better straight face off? Tommy Lee Jones or Harrison Ford?

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
