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 SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
