Official Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions Gameday Thread

Recommended Posts

Today the Panthers of Carolina square off against the Lions of Detroit. I see this being a close, relatively low scoring game. Both teams mirror each other closely. 

 

The Lions are banged up on the offensive line, which gives me hope. Could be a big day for Pepp and Addison. 

 

On the other hand, Detroit is 1st in the league in turnover differential, while the Panthers are tied for next to last. Not great. 

 

I feel like a sack and fumble on Stafford or a big play to Tate over Byrd's head could be the difference today. Only question is, which will it be?

I think that our offense is unpredictable this week.  If we use every game this year as a sample size...last week would appear to be an anomaly in terms of offensive performance.  However, Cam has been recovering from that shoulder almost the entire year and he's finally appearing to shake some of that rust off.  This offensive has a lot of potential and at any point in time they can take the next step.  I believe last week was the redirect of a trend rather then an anomaly.

This will be a good test for the Panthers.  A win in Detroit will be big for this team.  I am expecting to see the offense to get better each week as Cam et al, get more reps together.  Looks like Samuel will be on the field which adds another weapon.  Hopefully the O line can hold together despite the Kalil bros injury epidemic.  Biggest concern on offense.

On defense...I hope our new D coordinator is learning and calls a good game.  Luke needs to own Detroit today. 

Need a fast start, win TOP and turnovers....then easy peasy.

Panthers 23-17.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
