If Murray and Hopkins don't play...

The Panthers have the better defense, top to bottom (DL, LBs, DBs)

They (Panthers) have the better wide receivers

They have the better running-back

If we lose, assuming Murray and Hopkins don't play, you will never see me defend Matt Rhule again.

I'm all for limiting McCaffrey's touches but tomorrow is the day to abuse him.  Rely on him.  We need to win and get to 5-5.  Cam entering a 5-5 situation, I believe in him to will us to the playoffs.  But 5-5 is a lot different than 4-6.  Come on Rhule!!

Eh, Hubbard has proven to be at least decent and the RBC approach has workedish lately.  On a certain level it'd be great to call 70-80 runs and spit the carries amongst Christian, Chubba and Armah.

Did you not watch him play last week? Conner is a beast as well!

Connor isn’t a beast.  He is having a decent season.  Had one great random game.   He is in AZ because he isn’t a beast.    And he largely plays second fiddle to Edmonds and vultures TDs.  

Too much stock in one game where where so many new guys were on the field.  NFL is all about game tape.    McCoy had 63 QBR for a reason too.  He wasn’t out there doing a lot despite that completion percentage.   

D should be able to feast if Kyler and Nuk are out 

But it is worth noting that PJ will be facing a much tougher test today than Sam had all year.

    • 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.
