RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Probably not necessary to have individual thread for each game. Anyone watching today? Panthers started out hot, then Houston poured it on for a while. A near pick-6 down to the 2 yard line got the Panthers back into the game. They punched it and are now leading mid-3rd qtr by 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Panthers playing pretty undisciplined. Lots of penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 TD Panthers! Nice pass down the middle. 22-13 after the missed point attempt of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 And the Panthers just did a SOL. Huge interception called back because of a PI on a receiver who wasn't getting the ball thrown to him. And then they get a strip-sack and fumble recovery... so... I guess that's almost as good.

RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 QB for the Panthers is on fire! Love 19/21 for 216 yards. 3 TD, no ints. 149.1 QBR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 TD Panthers... pretty much looked like the same play were they scored before. This time the point after is good. 29-13, that's pretty much game over with just 1:44 left in the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Well, if it wasn't over before now it is... INT. A couple of kneel downs and the Panthers start off 2023 with a win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotownWebGuy Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Good game. I watched most of the second half….how many of these guys are returnees from last years team? Seem like at least a few names were familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Good question... I managed to find a roster from CBS Sports from just before the 2022 and 2023 season. Imported them into excel and did a quick lookup. Of the current 53 man roster there are 14 players returning from last year. Given how poorly the Panthers did last year that probably makes sense.

RedRamage Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Michigan Panthers 1-0 AND (so far) no players suspended for gambling. Looks like there's a new favorite home town team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Reggie Corbin with a nice game rushing for over 100 yards... DL dominate... Panthers off to a nice 2-0 start headed to their Ford Field debut next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Michigan with a FG on their first drive in Ford Field. Pretty surprised with the crowd size. I mean, it's not huge, but it's fair good... especially compared to some other games I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 And the Panthers just got burned by a mobile QB. That feels familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Panthers have been slow starters this season, but my goodness.. this is ridiculous. 21-3 already. Ugh... not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Flipping through the channels and I just came across the game on NBC. Just got to halftime and the Panthers are down 13-3, I don't know how it compares to other stadiums but it seems like a half way decent crowd down at Ford Field from what I can tell. I was afraid it was gonna look like the sporting events during the pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRivdogs Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I guess we can rule Josh Love out as a possible Lion back up QB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It's weird despite being in a different league I kinda feel like I'm cheating on the Lions by rooting for another Pro football team. It feels kinda strange actually. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I can't believe I never noticed those LED boards on the columns on the one side of the field at Ford Field. When did they put those on them? I haven't been down there since 2016 and I know they weren't there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled it and apparently they installed them in 2017, I have no idea how I am just now noticing it. Maybe because it blended in more with a packed stadium of blue apparel or Im just not very observant. I'm leaning towards the latter.

RandyMarsh Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Welp this one is over, 30-10 now. I think Love has turned it over more this game at Ford Field than Goff did all season there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because the Panthers really looked good in their first two games this season... then they come home to play and Ford Field and lay two eggs. Disappointing and not a great way to build up the fan base. I had better hopes for this one because in the first two games they were definitely a slow start, but strong finish team. Points by quarter this year: 1: 9 2: 23 3: 17 4: 27 Last week they got down by a lot early on and never recovered. This week they were keeping it closer to start off but the offense never got going at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Another ugly loss for the boys in burgundy. The season started out so well, but they're now 2-3 including 0-3 at Ford Field. Not a good way to build the fan base. Somewhat in defense of the Panthers, I thought the officiating in this game was down right horrible. I saw lots of holds that went uncalled. Heck there was a spot where well after the play one of the Maulers smacked a Panther on the helmet... not quite a punch, but dang close to it. The ref was 5 feet away, looking right at it and did nothing. Then of course the Panther player was an absolute idiot because he went up to the other guy and spit on him... which the ref saw. They have two more games at home... this week Saturday and then to finish up the season on June 18th. This week is again the Birmingham Stallions, who were last years Champs and are 3-2 so far this year. Given how horrible the OL has played these last few games I'd be pretty surprised if they pull out a win next week. That leaves the last game of the season as their only likely hope for a win at Ford Field. At least it's against the Stars who are all bad (2-3) and whom they've already beat.

Surprise Father's Day gift from my son. We had a lot of fun. The Panthers are NOT a good team, but fortunately no one in the USFL North is a good team so they did just enough to get into the playoffs. Not a single team in the north has even a .500 record, while no team in the south has a losing record. So the Maulers and the Panthers (both 4-6) will be in the playoffs will the Gamblers and Showboats (both 5-5) stay home. I'm not expecting the Panthers to do much... they lost both games to the Maulers this season. But who knows? Maybe they'll make a run. Their OL still sucks. They have no running game. They got only 84 yards on the ground and more than half of that (48) came from the QB on play-fakes where he ran instead of passing. Still, a win is a win and I'll take it! Their first win at Ford Field too. Playoff game is on Saturday, 8:00 in Canton, OH. Looks like it'll be on NBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
