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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
