Great all we need is a qb that releases the ball quick vs our poo corners . Pass rush better show up becausr this game will be won on defense !!!!" Our offense is going to get shut down by their stout pass rush . Im expecting us to lose 

A QB like Smith is not a bad thing at all. They don't have playmakers that can get YAC. Release the ball quick to a receiver near the LoS what will happen? We'll swarm him and it'll be easy. Smith is the perfect QB for our D to go against. Doesn't take shots deep so we can be more aggressive in the back. We have 24 sacks for the 3rd most sacks in the league right now, the Chiefs have 16 which is tied for 21st in the league. They don't have a stout pass rush at all. With Kalil back and a bonus if Oher is back we'll be completely fine against their sub-par pass rush. Granted, that's assuming Justin Houston doesn't have a big role or play at all, but it's not likely that he does. He'll get activated from the PUP this week but all reports say he's unlikely to play and if he does would be extremely limited. Chiefs are a very solid team all throughout, but we should be able to handle them. You might as well go fishing or something else on Sunday because there's no point in watching the game if you think we suck so much.

Don't sleep on Alex Smith. The last six years, he is 54-23-1 (.699). That has to be among the top 10, maybe even top 5 in the league, and it's not just because he plays with good defenses; his offenses have not ranked worse than 16th in points scored since 2011. He's a damn good west coast quarterback, and I hold to this day the 2012 49ers would have won the Super Bowl if they stuck with him. He's extremely precise and that's going to test our young corners. He's also mobile, and can and will run if he has room. 

The key to beating KC will be coming out strong. If we get out to an early lead - say, 14 points - they will have a hard time coming back. Smith only has 6 fourth-quarter comebacks the last four years. The Chiefs aren't built to come from behind. That being said, if we go into prevent, Smith will eat us up with short routes.

Oh look another thread with just a tweet..must be nice to do nothing and stay on twitter all day. Guess your simple mind has no substance or ideas to add to the tweet.

I have the Bleacher Report Team Stream app.  You can keep hating though, if that makes you feel better.

This will be another physical game and I hope the Panthers are up for this one. The defense will definitely need to apply pressure to Alex Smith and force him to make mistakes and turn the ball over in this game. Our best shot on offense is we have to be able to run the ball and control the tempo of the game. I hope Mike Shula design a lot more shorter and intermediate passing calls for Cam, to get the ball out early and on time. Cam also needs to get back to having fun and playing like the MVP.The sooner he does this, the better chance that we have with finishing the season strong and potentially pushing for a postseason birth.

      2025 scheduled opponents less division opponents

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      from the observer     Miami Dolphins. The Panthers will welcome one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, led by Alabama alum Tua Tagovailoa and fast-as-a-cheetah Tyreek Hill, to Bank of America Stadium in 2025. The Dolphins are 8-8 this year and are 6-2 against the Panthers all-time. *Seattle Seahawks. This home matchup marks a full-circle moment for Dave Canales, who cut his NFL teeth under Pete Carroll in Seattle. Carolina is 4-9 all-time against the Seahawks and lost the last contest in the matchup in 2023. Seattle is 9-7 heading into Week 18. *Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are perennial playoff contenders and have notched seven winning seasons the past eight years. The Panthers are 12-10 against the Rams all-time. *Buffalo Bills. This year it was the Kansas City Chiefs. This year’s Super Bowl contenders making a trip to Bank of America Stadium? Josh Allen and the Bills. The Panthers are 2-6 all-time against the Buffalo franchise. New York Giants / Cowboys. The Panthers had a home game — technically — against the Giants this year. That was in Germany, of course. And the 2025 Giants (3-13 entering Week 18) will look a lot different than the ones the Panthers faced in Munich, what with a new quarterback coming and a refurbished offense. That is, of course, if the Panthers finish last in the NFC South. If not, they face the Cowboys (7-9) New England Patriots. Panthers fans get an up-close look at their homegrown NFL quarterback when Carolina travels to Foxborough to take on the Drake Maye-led Patriots. The Pats are 3-13 entering Week 18. New York Jets. The Jets are 4-12 this year and have an existential crisis to handle this offseason — with their situations at quarterback and their head coach not exactly stable. At least for now, it feels like a compelling matchup for the Panthers on the road. San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers seem much better than 6-10. And they will likely be in 2025 — particularly if former Panther Christian McCaffreystays healthy. The Panthers are 13-9 against San Francisco all-time. Chicago Bears / Green Bay Packers. The Panthers are either playing the last-placed Bears or the second-to-last-place Packers in 2025, two very different. The mostly that emerged from Soldier Field this season focused on how much the Bears had “fleeced” the Panthers in their blockbuster trade before the 2023 season. But with Bryce Young playing well and the Bears in free fall and with a new coach incoming, that perception might be different next season. Tennessee Titans / Jaguars. The Panthers are facing either the last-place team or the second-to-last place team in the AFC South in 2025, depending on Sunday’s results. (A Titans win and a Jaguars loss could knot them at 4-13 each, but the Jags have the edge with their divisional record and would thus earn the tiebreaker.) Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers are also facing the Cardinals, who are entering Week 18 with a 7-9 record.

      Bryce Young post benching if it were a full season worth of stats.

      Who is J. Stafford and R Prescott? Looks like a random number generator piece of AI crap

      Losing by 14 or more will clinch the worst point differential in franchise history.

      By LelouchBritannia · Posted

      Our offense averages 18.6 points per game, good for 25th in the league this year. Not great. worst offense ever? 7.4 ppg. Over 11 points per game difference. our defense? 31 ppg. Good for 32nd (by a lot) worst defense ever? 32.5 ppg by the 2020 lions.
