Should be an exciting match up on Sunday night! I’m personally excited to watch T-Mac play and hoping he breaks away for some great catches. I created a special drink for this game called “Lions and Panthers, Oh My!” that perhaps a few of your followers may enjoy https://sipandsidelines.substack.com/p/lions-and-panthers-oh-my?r=8v24rz&utm_medium=ios

Michael Jackson (cornerback, not singer), also now on IR.

They really need to look at their strength and conditioning coaches. Too many injuries.

Need a trigger warning before mentioning the 2022 game. That was brutal

Time for the pendulum to swing in favor of the Lions. 31-20 seems about right.

I see what you did there.....31 again!

Greg Hill.. now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Honestly, forgot about him.

He was brought in as the first replacement for Barry Sanders after his sudden retirement at the start of training camp.

So banged up! And quick fix: it’s Nick Scott.

Ugh, thank you. For my career, I have this bad habit of transposing last names of players with similar. The Lions new safety, Bishop Fitzgerald, is killing me. I keep wanting to write Bishop Sankey. They both played for the Titans, too.

I remember the last game against Panthers. It was so contrary to the balance of the games in the back half of that season. We were dominating teams with physicality. That’s when the Lions formed our current physical brand. (The only other game like that was against Ravens when we were man handled.)

Carolina goes off for record setting rushing yardage. I can still feel how amazed I was at the outlier poor performance. I can’t remember how the Lions played last week but that game still rings true.

Then, articles surfaced about the field conditions. Our team, led by Ragnow, was tough as nails. Yet, the field got to us. The field was so hard and cold players were in their heads about it.

Time to settle the score.
