Isn't it better than just totally being blown out? I mean people were joking that we were down 21 before the game even started? No one expects a win. What we were hoping for is to keep it close and fit the must part we are..... against the fuggin chiefs!

Bunch of y'all acting like we are playing and losing to one of the worst teams in the league. We're keeping it close against the best team from the last decade.

Aren't chiefs the best in the league against the rush? Well....third best or whatever. We're not going to be able to run unless we get them respecting the pass a little.

Love what I been seeing. So much better than most of us thought so far.

I think it will get better as the game goes on.

Still doing well. Keeping it within reach.

Can tell who bet against the Panthers in this thread. They sound like chiefs fans and want the Panthers to lose. ie, not really fans.

Contributing.....as in the process of being built. You build the culture through the struggle and as you, oftentimes painfully slowly, get better abdglfigure out how to win and build confidence in yourselves as you fight and don't give up regardless of your record or opponent. But whatever...you enjoy your desire to give up.

Not a bad start at all.

All day. Every day. Take that garbage out of here

it took me a minute when i saw that. lol

yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories. i just want to get out of it afterwards.

that said...i do like going camping in the snow. one of the greatest sleeps i ever had was in my hammock with a tarp over it and it snowed 13" that night. it's been a few years, but just the sound of the snow hitting the tarp and then waking up surrounded by it was incredible roughest one i had was setting up a new 4 season tent i had just bought and setting it up in the back yard because it was going to be snowing. About 2am i woke up and the roof of the tent was just a couple inches from my face so i tunneled out and walked through the snow to the house. we got 20+" that night. i think that was 1991 or something like that.

yikes. no thanks. i love snow. not that much.

i have a very small sliver of hope that he might be trending that direction, but no way would i look ahead into the offseason thinking that he should be the guy we go into next season with. i haven't seen nearly enough and i seriously doubt we will get close to that point.

i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know. back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments. i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era. but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

been living in town since March of last year after spending 15+ years out on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Snow was beautiful out there, but always meant a lot of work dealing with the long driveway and long dirt road out and onto paved roads that were the last in the county to get plowed. On normal days it always took 20 minutes to get anywhere. when it snowed...yeah. forget about it for a couple days. still had to go to work, so i'd have to drive on all these narrow and windy snow covered backroads after dealing with my driveway and putting up with the nasty red mud slush on the dirt road. if there was an emergency or some kind of urgent issue that required you having someone drive in or going out, it was just a major stressor. anyways, i'm just looking forward to snow in the new house in town, where my driveway is really short and the roads are plowed. i want snow that requires no work or stress on me. most people probably love the idea of being snowed in out in the country. been there. done that. i'm looking forward to snow coming in town and being able to get out and about if i need. hopefully we have some this year.

it's not about the numbers. not even necessarily about the wins. it's what i can see. i want to see a guy back there that is confident, composed, and in command of the offense....or at least obviously growing in these ways. I want to see chemistry increasing between him and his line, his RBs, and his pass catchers. i also want to see confidence in BY coming from his teammates. and of course i want to see that ball move down the field and get into the endzone more often. he needs to be taking advantage of every opportunity and even creating some when things fall apart.

From that other thread....

i think he's going to prove himself to be a really good target. that's where i think he's really going to shine.

i'm going ooal. 12 carries, 75 yards (i see him breaking of for a big one), and a TD 5 catches, 25 yards yes....100 all purpose yards and a TD. and that's just getting him started.
