Very similar

Big expectations --underperforming

1st pick of QB in draft -- does not look like such a deal any longer

Big name WR -- thrown to in too many situations

Running game -- does not materialize

Defense -- would make no news but for injuries

Both coaches - thought to be good hires their first season

The Lions are 4th in total offense, sencond in passing offense.

They are also 8th in total defense.

How are they similar outside of having a disappointing record compared to expectations?

Was wondering the same. They are moving the ball but Stafford is just not getting them into the endzone this year.

To be fair to #89, while most people here thinks he gets too many targets, I disagree and think he should be getting more than what he is getting so far.

Calvin Johnson has 38 receptions on 66 targets (8th in the league)

Steve Smith has 28 receptions on 47 targets (37th in the league)

Calvin is 5th in receiving yard (592) while Smith is 14th (471).

Chud (and Cam) needs to target Smith more often.

The only two receivers who get less targets than Smith in the top 20 in yards is Decker and Thomas and that is because they take targets away from each other.

Throw #89 the damn ball.

Our possession time is literally 1 second away from being the worst in the league (baltimore). Smith is obviously going to get fewer targets when we run fewer offensive plays. A meaningful comparison must account for this.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers’ Biggest Roster Needs

      By NAS · Posted

      BPA in draft all the way. Address your biggest needs in free agency.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.
