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

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
