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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
