Panthers have a good chance to beat the Chiefs later this season

I am jumping the gun here. But watching what the Raiders did against the Chiefs gives me a lot of hope for the Panthers beating the reigning champs in a few weeks. They played a lot of 3 down linemen with 8 men in zone coverage and Mahomes had issues with that coverage. Sound familiar? Panthers have run that coverage a lot in the past couple games.

Just wanted to post a little optimism ahead of time.

At this point, I honestly feel like we CAN beat anyone. What I will say is that we don't have a huge margin for error(probably smaller than most teams). Reference the bad game Teddy had against Tampa and how much that put us down. 

But, if we are clicking on all cylinders(like we were largely today), we CAN beat just about any team in the league. 

I never expected to say that this season.

The Chiefs struggled in overtime to defeat the Chargers and just lost to the Raiders. 

They're not invincible. 

Their offense also looked like garbage against the Patriots. Cam would have rolled those guys and the Pats would have won easily if he had been in that game.

Youre right. There not invincible. But a win against the Chiefs would wake up the league and the Panthers would officially “arrive”

Did you not watch that game? The chiefs looked awful against the Patriots defense and only lost because Brian Hoyer held the ball way too long and is a perpetual loser. Mahomes did nothing special in that game. The Raiders followed a winning formula the Patriots have set forth against the chiefs that the Panthers can definitely follow.

I don’t want to arrive.

This franchise has always done better flying under the radar and frankly I could give a fug about being fawned over by national media talking heads who wouldn’t know an original thought if it was tattooed on their forehead. Respect around the league gets earned regardless of whether self appointed experts confer it between beer commercials or not.

It’s a new era. This curse of being “under the radar” might finally be over....let’s hope....

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
