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?

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
