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 running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
