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....

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
