It suck's but living in Detroit I've had the pleasure of watching this sad franchise for the past decade...Well this season there ok at best! Everyone want's to give them respect in Detroit, but I've been saying there going to collapse for a long time now...Here's a little bit of what to expect come sunday...

THE DLINE- This WILL be the BEST pass rush we have faced all year this defense get's after the QB in a Baltimore Raven fashion without blitzing...Cliff Avril and Vandenbosh on the ends, and Suh, Corey Williams, Nick Fairley, and Hill rotating in the middle. Not to mention Suh is a Hall of Fame talent...Literally he looks as slim and fast as a linebacker, but has the strength of a Haloti Naghta...Plain and simple we may be the BEST Oline this D has faced, maybe the Titans game will serve as a wake up call...Were gonna need it.

THE LINE BACKERS Everyone in Detroit loves our line backers with Durant, Tulloch, and Levy on the other side...Here's why I don't get the love fest for them...They have arguably the best Dline in football and rank 27th versus the run...The thing they do have going for them is there fast and can cover...Don't expect big thing's from Olsen or Shockey this week depending on how we use em. If we stretch them out wide we may get a good match up...

THE SECONDARY Worst secondary in the NFCN and arguably the NFC in general...They would kill to have Chris Gamble...They come in with Chris Houston as their number 1, and Eric Wright / Alphonso Smith as the 2 and nickel...Safety's are ok at best; Louis Delmas and OUR BOY Chris Harris will knock your head off, but both are liabilities in coverage as we all know. This unit ranks 9th in pass yard allowed, but that's only because teams that can run, run it down there throat. Trust me given time in the pocket this until blows...Laurent Robinson ripped Chris Houston apart, and made Donovan Mcnabb to Mike Jenkin's look relevant... Smitty should have a field day...

THE OLINE Worst offensive line in the league...With Jeff Bacus, Gosder Cherilus, anchoring the left and right, Dominick Raiola at center and Steven Peterman next to him...Matthew Stafford has never had time in the pocket...This offense has NO run game, and gets eaten alive by good DE's...Look for Charles Johnson to have a good game, and our DT's to look serviceable for once...

WIDE OUT'S Calvin Johnson is a freak...The Detroit passing game is never consistent...If we force them to utilize other part's of the field we may win. Our CB's might not be the best but Gamble has the size to possibly match up with Calvin, and at least contain him...I'm worried about one thing and that is our linebackers versus Brandon Pettigrew...If we don't get pressure, and we double up Calvin this kid could have a field day, but will live with that.

RUNNING BACKS Kevin Smith? Yes for those that don't know they resigned him to help the putrid unit...Awful. Hopefully we don't make him look good.

QUARTERBACK Matthew Stafford...I personally hate him...Almost all of his touchdown's have been heaves to Calvin Johnson, and he's very inconsistent and scared in the pocket. A lot of it has to do with his Oline...If he didn't have such a cannon on the deep ball he would be looking like David Carr in the pocket. The kid can't sit still and be consistent...We gotta get after him early.

All in all it's a winnable game the thing's were worst at run defense, and a consistent ground game are their biggest flaws... They can't run the ball or stop the run. I feel it's going to be a close game...We can't let Calvin burn us early (he will get his eventually)...And our oline has to bring their A game...I think in an awkward type fashion our run game will go off for a solid game, and by that I mean 60 yards from Stewart, 50 from Cam and around the 40 or 50 mark from Williams...It's gonna be a pissed of Lions unit coming back home and are going to wanna unload on us, but It's also going to be a pissed off Hall of Fame QB in Cam Newton going on the road to ford field...Should be a good one I'll be their rocking my Smitty Jersey and waving my "yes we Cam shirt"...

That dline is a bit overrated. Especially in run defense.

not really, it is league wide known they suck against the run. Coaching staff practically admits they are willing to intentionally be weak there. They are willing to give up holes to sell out on the pass rush.....

Chud could easily take himself out of HC job looks w/ his gameplan. Dumb to try to be a pass heavy offense in this game for a variety of reasons.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
