Official Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions Gameday Thread!

Recommended Posts

Hey all! Reporting in for my first ever NFL game in person and couldn't be more hyped! Travelled down from Ottawa, Ontario with a couple Lions fans and our other buddy is meeting us from Tennessee! "New" to the huddle but hsve been lurking for about a year now and figured it was time to make an account.

Just started watching football about 5 years ago and fell in love with the Panthers. Didn't know a single player or really anything about the sport, but the first game I ever watched this #59 guy was just all over the field and couldn't believe how incredible this guy was. Then watching #1 on offence and the swagger he brings was just mezmerizing.

Still very much learning the sport to this day but at the very least I now know every Panthers player on the roster at any point and love them all!(ok except maybe Amini cause he really is just the worst). Anyways could not be a more proud Panthers fan no matter what and looking forward to talking to you guys. Hope ya'll can accept a Canadian into the family :)

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
