ESPN just said the Chiefs defense makes the Panthers defense look like kittens

Overall, KC has the better defense due to their above average secondary. If I have to choose just the front seven alone, then I'd easily take Carolina. Other than a poor showing vs. Buffalo, we simply dominated two very good Seattle and NYG offenses.

 

KC on the other hand have looked good but vs. the JAGS and an over-hyped Chip Kelly's Eagles offense. Both of them are not even close to the talents of Seattle and NYG. Justin Houston is a legit pass rusher in this league but was shut out vs. Dallas. His 7.5 sacks came against the two struggling rookie OTs: Joeckel and Lane Johnson. And the other leading sacker for the Chiefs is Poe whom 2 of his sacks came against another "rookie" center in Travis Frederick. They have looked good but against not so good talents.

This post did not make one lick of logical sense.

Poe is part of the reason why that d has been good this year. there front 7 could go hand in hand with ours skills wise, and their secondary is pretty good as well. a name yall are missing is Justin Houston, this guy makes plays and is becoming on of the best pass rushers in the league.

Like I said above, Houston is legit but you cant really take much out of his season yet. He dominated two struggling rookies in Joeckel and Johnson. He was shut out vs. Dallas. Hardy and Johnson would clearly be up there in sack production if playing against those rookies too.

you do not have to show up in the stat line to have an impact on the game as a pass rusher.if that is the case, Hardy was shut out vs the Hawks and Bills. when we know he still had qb pressures and hurries etc that impact the game.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
