Official Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions Gameday Thread

Recommended Posts

Today the Panthers of Carolina square off against the Lions of Detroit. I see this being a close, relatively low scoring game. Both teams mirror each other closely. 

 

The Lions are banged up on the offensive line, which gives me hope. Could be a big day for Pepp and Addison. 

 

On the other hand, Detroit is 1st in the league in turnover differential, while the Panthers are tied for next to last. Not great. 

 

I feel like a sack and fumble on Stafford or a big play to Tate over Byrd's head could be the difference today. Only question is, which will it be?

I think that our offense is unpredictable this week.  If we use every game this year as a sample size...last week would appear to be an anomaly in terms of offensive performance.  However, Cam has been recovering from that shoulder almost the entire year and he's finally appearing to shake some of that rust off.  This offensive has a lot of potential and at any point in time they can take the next step.  I believe last week was the redirect of a trend rather then an anomaly.

This will be a good test for the Panthers.  A win in Detroit will be big for this team.  I am expecting to see the offense to get better each week as Cam et al, get more reps together.  Looks like Samuel will be on the field which adds another weapon.  Hopefully the O line can hold together despite the Kalil bros injury epidemic.  Biggest concern on offense.

On defense...I hope our new D coordinator is learning and calls a good game.  Luke needs to own Detroit today. 

Need a fast start, win TOP and turnovers....then easy peasy.

Panthers 23-17.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
