Official Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions Gameday Thread

[Jeremy Igo]

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?

Yes

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.

Everyone has been saying it all week but I do think it will come down to turnovers. We're overdue for some takeaways.  I think we win the turnover battle this week. Get 2. Give up 1.  Panthers win.

I hope Cam continues his good play and isn't affected by this dumbass poo from this week

Shame on society. Dude says he thinks something is funny and he needs to make a video of himself as if he killed somebody and is saying sorry. Nah he just said something is funny to him lol

Panthers keep the momentum rolling from last week and the offense shows up again. I'd like to see CMC get his first touchdown and the defense force at least two turnovers.

Panthers 27

Lions 20

Us punching them in the mouth is whats happening today!!

CMC is going to make everyone realize why he is such a good decoy.  He's gonna break a big one today, and probably make a few Lions look foolish in the process.  Also we will get at least one turnover.

Are we confident that Pep plays? DNP on Friday...........

Matt Kalil also Friday DNP. Moton at LT today?
