I have really enjoyed laughing at the Panthers beating the Chiefs memes.  I mean, it's been in good fun.  Bye week is a great time to be completely unreasonable.

It’s almost like a mini preseason in terms of delusional thinking lol

As far as trotting out Andy, does that help Bryce develop?  Does that help the team develop?  It's not about winning at this point (unless by some miracle/any-given-Sunday we win, then things get interesting).

Ultimately neither are going to help the team around them develop as both have looked like backups at best multiple times this season. As far as development of Bryce Young. Unfortunately playing more isn't going to change his lack of necessary physical traits.

Do I think the Panthers have a much of a chance to win this game?  No.

But as someone who has bet a lot against Carolina this year... I'm very tempted to bet on the Panthers to cover that 11 point spread.  Mahomes turns the ball over a lot regardless of the defense and they are on the road against a team that is getting healthy and feeling confident.  And Jags/Lions aside, big underdogs this year have done a good job.

Chiefs will probably win but they aren’t the juggernaut they have been the past few years.

I mean, they absolutely 100% are. 9-1 with the only loss being a very close game on the road against another juggernaut in a game where 1 or 2 plays go differently and they could've easily won.

They're coasting through the regular season like they did last year and still have the best record in the league. Anything can happen in this league but the safe money is on the Chiefs blowing us out badly.

Chiefs being stout against the run is one big problem. The other is that despite the Chiefs offense being quite mortal, our defense is still utterly putrid  and Reid/Mahomes are far too smart not to exploit our weaknesses constantly.

Personally, I'm most interested in how this team plays after a bye under Canales.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
