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

[hepcat]

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.

Let’s pump the brakes a little. We are better than most thought but let’s get a couple more wins before talking about taking down the reigning super bowl champs.

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”

The Chiefs defense is fallible, The Raiders loss started a bit at first (still does) but it's not a bad L at this point...

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.

Why not beat them in the super Bowl if we are going to dream. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

Beating the chiefs would be awesome but from a playoff standpoint a win against the bears is much better than a win against the chiefs.

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

My indifference to national media attention remains unchanged.
