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

    • lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
    • Just wear another jersey and have AI photoshop it lol
    • His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
