Impact of OT Bengals game


CRA

Recommended Posts

On Sirius NFL this am they were discussing why all NFL for the most part are against the new OT rules.

Both the Bengals and Panthers played 5 full quarters last week. Both teams showed absolutely nothing from the very first snap on Sunday.

Now we would have been beaten regardless bc of our D being a bad matchup but the playing a full q more than any team the week prior didn't probably help things

Doesn't explain why the defense looked it worst in the first quarter and gradually improved. If fatigue is the reason, they would have gotten worse as the game went on.

Maybe GB just eased up considering it was over at the first quarter.

Looked more like Rodgers had resorted to trying to get as many people stats as he could as the game went on and his emphasis was on just spreading it around for the sake of that.

I don't think he even looked at Jordan Nelson after the first q. Too easy to do that

If this was the first time we had been blown out this season, I would have agreed with you. But we've seen this poor showing week in and week out. Besides, didn't Rivera give them lots of time off practice or something like that?

Well I made sure to note we would have been beaten soundly regardless....

But at least in some other beatdowns like Pitt we were in it for chunks. This game was over 10 minutes in

Started in New England in the preseason, but we all dismissed it as an aberration.

I think this had a big impact on the Panthers getting blown out.  The Bengals/Panthers game was grueling on both teams. At least the Bengals were at home and only had to travel a few hours west to Indianapolis the next week, but they got trounced worse than the Panthers.  Going into next week, the Panthers starters only played 3/4 of a game and get to play at home against a Seahawks team making two cross country trips in a row. Things should turn around...right?

Do what? Pretty sure both teams scored 37 points apiece. To say that "both teams showed absolutely nothing" is asinine!

    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
    • Ehhh im not mad either way I don't think hes garbage but he was and is overpaid.... but he was a skating turnover machine.
    • My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
