We're talking about those Panthers

[cmh6476]

Do they still have Mike Rucker?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The Panthers are going to get their asses kicked!!!

[cmh6476]

As I plan to be at the game, I hope I'm in ear shot of Ed McCaffrey. Because I'd tell him how much the Broncos suck.

[Deberg_1990]

Teddy MediocreWater should dominate

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

McCaffery is back for this game

[carcosa]

The Panthers are going to get their asses kicked!!!

I AGREE!!!!!

[smithandrew051]

THEY ARE WORSE AT FOOTBALL THAN THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!!!!

[chiefzilla1501]

Not a game to take lightly. Pretty solid defense and with they'll be a lot better with McCaffrey so tedy can just manage the game. But they won't beat us.

[Easy 6]

THEM BUMS BETTER NOT SHOW THEIR FACES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

[DRM08]

Not a game to take lightly. Pretty solid defense and with they'll be a lot better with McCaffrey so tedy can just manage the game. But they won't beat us.

With the Steelers undefeated, every game is important for KC the rest of the way. Need to run the table and finish 15-1. Put some pressure on the Steelers to keep winning if they want that #1 seed and playoff bye week.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The Panthers have some really legit offensive weapons, I wouldn’t expect them to score less than 17, probably in the 20s.

I watched them Thurs night. Their o-line fucking sucks.

Otherwise not terrible.

[Hammock Parties]

15-1

we're just waiting for the playoffs at this point

Pitt has played a lot of tight games. They’re not gonna constantly be able to win those type of games. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ravens beat them on Thanksgiving.

[New World Order]

We’re going to defang the Panthers!!!!

Jets ran all over our ass for 2qrts and we played down to them in the first half. Can't afford that next week that is for sure.

[CatfishBob2]

Should be interesting. We haven't lost a single game my GF has laid eyes on since I made her a promise if we won the super bowl. Oh yeah, she's a Panthers fan

Their cheerleaders smell like Panther piss. True story.

[htismaqe]

Not really a solid defense. Average defense. Their offense is pretty anemic though.

:rolleyes:They were running the ball pretty good there for awhile. I recall them mentioning the Chiefs had the #30 run defense. That's not a good thing. :shrug:

this is the one that feels like a trap game. We should be fine tho.

The Chiefs held them to 30 yards in the 2nd half.

The Chiefs covered a 19.5-point spread.

People need to stop worrying about stuff that doesn't matter.

[O.city]

They suck and we’ll beat the shit out of them if we take it seriously

Good talk

[Dante84]

Willy Gay on CMC for the flats coverage?

[dannybcaitlyn]

They seem to not quit and play every opponent tough. Definitely can’t sleep on them.

[St. Patty's Fire]

Could be a tough game with CMC back. Rhule is looking like the real deal.

Wouldn't be surprised if this were closer than people like for the first three quarters.

We settled for a field goal??? What the fuck is this play calling???? OL keeps getting their shit pushed in!!! Run D fucking sucks. 2018 all over again!!!

[big nasty kcnut]

Bridgewater and cmc good the rest of the team sucks!

[Megatron96]

Interesting.

Bridgewater ranks among the top 5 or 6 in total passing yards, yards/att, completion %. But then among the bottom ten starting QBs in yards/game, TDs/INTs, sacks. Kind of in the middle for QBR and PRTG.

The Panthers have beaten some good opponents but also lost to some weaker ones. Their passing game doesn't look very scary. And their running game isn't that great either.

I'll have to look into them more, but right now they don't look very good at anything, but not terrible at anything either.

[Dunerdr]

Did you get your bois clipped if we won?

[O.city]

It's a weird feeling as a Chief fan, we aren't used to it.

But the Chiefs are just that much better than anyone. These games don't matter. If the Chiefs lock in, they're 2 touchdowns better than 26 teams.

Bridgewater is alright. Like an Alex Smith

[MahomesMagic]

Matt Rhule is a hell of a coach. That said we kill them.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

I don't think the Chiefs give a shit if you can run the ball against them.

[FloridaMan88]

A random fact... the last time the Chiefs played Carolina at Arrowhead was the day after the Belcher suicide and Brady Quinn was the Chiefs starting QB.

Chiefs are kind of in a better situation entering this game.

[Wallcrawler]

The Chiefs held them to 30 yards in the 2nd half.

The Chiefs covered a 19.5-point spread.

People need to stop worrying about stuff that doesn't matter.

This.

Hey, the Jets held the Chiefs to like 30 yards rushing all game, proving that stopping the run us the most important thing evar. Amirite?

Situational football. Its a good term to learn.

[O.city]

Run the ball all over KC. Go for it. They'll get you to kick FG's and you'll lose, because running the ball between the 20's doesn't matter.

[Pablo]

Probably only 14 point faves in this one. Sneaky tough trap game.

And they're getting their white RB back, wow.

[keg in kc]

I think I saw an 11 point spread last night. 11.5 maybe.

[wheeler08]

Bridgewater sucks. They made Atlanta looked like world champs last week. I started Bridgewater in fantasy because Atlanta’s defense is so bad. Their O line made Atlanta look like the 85 bears. Bridgewater was running for his life and couldn’t do shit. He looked like a poor mans Lamar Jackson.
He should get a boost with CMC back. But I would think he’s on a snap count.

So it is Bridgewater's fault the oline sucks? Falcons are better than their record shows. Panthers shouldn't be a problem for Chiefs but I don't think Panthers or Bridgewater are that bad. Average team

Do they still have Mike Rucker?

no... he's no longer playing for any team

Meh. That was a Thursday night division game in heavy rain.

This Panthers team isn't great but they are feisty. They're not a Jets/Broncos type team we can just show up and win against.

They're not exceptional in any area, though.

There's really no team in the league where you can "just show up". But if the Chiefs play like they did against say, the Patriots, where they made a few mistakes and didn't play their best ball, they beat the Panthers.

They're firmly a middle-of-the-pack team.

I forget they exist for years at a time

I don't think the Raiders are all that exceptional in spots either, but they got the better of us.

This Panthers team has a better defense than the Raiders. Their offense isn't as good as a whole but they've got weapons almost on par with them. I'd put CMC, Moore, and Anderson up against Jacobs, Waller and Ruggs.

We will almost assuredly beat them but I don't think they're going to come out and play as poorly as they did against Atlanta last Thursday.

Yes, it's possible the Panthers could do something similar. But it's not really all that likely, just like it's not likely the Raiders can do that again.

[CervezaChill]

CMC was taken before Mahomes in the draft. I bet Mahomes will use this little slight to further boost his motivation to whoop the Panthers.

[Marcellus]

Run the ball all over KC. Go for it. They'll get you to kick FG's and you'll lose, because running the ball between the 20's doesn't matter.

Yup.

The key to beating the Chiefs is to run the ball! Chiefs are 30th in run defense!

Also Chiefs are 7-1.

And their only loss was because they gave up big passing plays repeatedly.

[O.city]

It's the same thing when people want the Chiefs to run the ball. Go for it. The Chiefs will score TD's when they get in the redzone and it won't matter.

But the Jets game also showed why it's better for the Chiefs to have the ball in Pat's hands. Thats what can happen.

Pick your poison. You wanna die slow or fast? You'll still die, but it's up to you.

Like a cat that jumps out of the ditch. Broken tail and half torn ear. But I am a full grown man, and kick it across the road.

[Eureka]

The Panthers need to score 40 if they want to win.

Most of their losses are close games.

[scho63]

I'm more interested in that Mother Rucker! :LOL:

[Megatron96]

I haven't watched any film on CAR this season, and I probably won't, but the Chiefs probably steam-roll CAR.

CAR ranks near the bottom of the league or bottom half in most of the major metrics on both offense and defense. In advanced metrics they do a little better in some categories, such as RZ efficiency. Things like RZ opponent scoring efficiency, where they are in the top half of the NFL when playing away.

However, they just don't put up enough points, and they aren't efficient enough per possession scoring TDs, even at their statistical best, to beat the Chiefs even if KC plays just an average game.

Even with CMC returning, this will be his first game back and I think he'll be on some kind of pitch count, sharing carries with Davis. They can't risk another injury to their franchise RB that they just paid all that money for. Plus, they don't expect to win this game. And finally, as great as CMC is in both the running and passing attacks, he's not a game-wrecker for the Chiefs, especially if he doesn't get 30 touches.

Add in the fact that their OL is banged up at G and C, so CJ should have a splashy day, and IMO the Panthers have no chance of winning, and nearly no chance of even covering the spread.

This should be another early day for Mahomes and the starters, with the Chiefs getting out to a big early lead, and then the Panthers get a score late in garbage time to make it look more respectable by the buzzer.

35-20, Chiefs.

[mnchiefsguy]

If Jones and Clark are both out, then the defense may struggle, especially with CMC back.

Might have to win a shootout.

[Megatron96]

Btw, does anyone else that saw that nasty hit on Bridgewater last week think that it's a little surprising that he's probably going to play this game? That was an ugly-looking tackle, and even after Bridgewater came back in that game he looked pretty uncomfortable.

he was a FP in practice today in spite of receiving treatment for his neck.

[COchief]

A random fact... the last time the Chiefs played Carolina at Arrowhead was the day after the Belcher suicide and Brady Quinn was the Chiefs starting QB.

Chiefs are kind of in a better situation entering this game.

I looked this up as I thought we beat GB when they were undefeated after the Belcher ordeal, but you're right. Did we beat GB after the Haley firing?

Here's some historical depression for everyone in case you ever start taking Mahomes or Reid for granted:

That and the Raiders are just a better class of football team, on paper anyway. The only position where you could say CAR has an honest advantage is at RB, if CMC is on the field. But LV's OL and DL are significantly better, their receiving weapons are better, except for CMC, and I think LV's secondary has better athletes, with the possible exception of Chinn for CAR.
