Same old Panthers. Huge losing streak here we come.

Well this garbage franchise has done what is does best again. Lose. 

Sam Darnold fails when the game is on the line. The defense chokes when the game is on the line. I’m sick of watching a bunch of losers.

Obviously a big losing streak incoming. Just like every year.

Our problems haven't changed. We just didn't address them.

 

Defensively we're just young and hurt. Offensively, we haven't had a good OL in the better part of a decade.

 

But relax guys. We're better than we were last year. Losing tight games sucks but we're competitive. Nobody should've expected more than that this year.

Today is a horrible loss. The Panthers outplay their opponent, basically kill them in the first half, and lose the game. Against another very young team that made a bunch of mistakes.

They got too high for their britches talking about making the playoffs. The truth is this is a bad team until proven otherwise.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
