Beat the Bengals....the formula that appears to work

The Patriots and Titans both ran the ball on this team. Patriots over 200 yds and the Titans over 150 yds. The Patriots attacked the middle of the field with 2 and sometimes 3 TE sets. They took it right to the linebackers and safeties. This is a Marvin Lewis team and they always play basically the same defense game to game. Rip them up through the middle with the passing and running game.

Can they run the ball well enough to do this with this oline and backs? Will Shula actually game plan and adjust the plays to be effective? All you have to do is watch that Patriots game again and you will see what worked.

You assume I watched it the first time.

The offense and especially the QB is not the problem for the Panthers.  It's all about the defense. When the defense shows up, the Panthers tend to win, or at least find themselves in the game at the end.  If the Panthers D can slow down the Bengals running attack and get some sacks on Dalton, the Panthers have a good chance at a W.  If Bernard has a big game, it won't even be close.  

 

I'm really worried about this game...because the Bengals will be looking to bounce back after being embarrassed by the Patriots and face an inconsistent Panthers team in their house.  Panthers coming off a comeback win at home and having to go on the road, while the Bengals are looking to prove their game against the Patriots was a fluke.  

 

Which team is the real Panthers?  The one that got blown out by the Steelers and Ravens?  Or the one that shut down Detroit and came back from 14 down against Chicago?  We will know a lot more about what kind of team the Panthers have after this game.

Collinsworth pointed out during the game that the Bengals were being destroyed by the TE running seam routes. Olsen could be in for a big day.

I saw that too and it made me think Olsen could have another multiple TD game.

I do think they get Burfuit back this week tho so that will be tough.

i agree, it seems when our defense plays well, it gets the offense going.  it shouldnt have to be that way, cant explain it, doesnt even make much sense, but thats how i tend to see it

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.

      Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.

      And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
