With the last 3 whooping's I'd be lying if I said this would be close or even a win but this season is weird.


34-32 Detroit.

34 points? This isn?t a double header.

 

[biggunsbob]

I'm just bummed . At 3-3 after Miami I thought we were trending up. Boy I was fooled big time.

 

[tomdalton22]

27-17 Panthers

 

[tigermud]

30-6 panthers

 

[mhughes0021]

Just lose baby!

 

[nsonnett14]

They will probably win , since i picked Carolina in my suicide pool .

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Hitting the road in 20 minutes.

27-24 Lions.

We play better at home....Carolina is 1-3 on the road.

 

[manchild98]

Offense struggling, defense struggling and we can't protect the QB. Lots of those stupid Cam superman celebrations today. 38-16.

 

[tomdalton22]

Christian McCaffrey might have 200 total yards today. If I were the Panthers, I would throw at least 12 balls to him vs. the Lions LBs.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Wearing the steel jerseys today.

Love those!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Gollladay CLEARLY limping as he?s warming up.

Yep.

I think they want Riddick to fill the Tate roll.

 

[manchild98]

What percentage of kick offs that actually get returned result in a penalty? Seems like it has to be 70%.

Lawson....
