Well, this isn't ideal. Riot Report shows a graphic showing their effectiveness against the short pass.

Yes, it isn't looking great for a team who lacks getting their best deep threat on the field consistently (Samuel). Hopefully that changes this Sunday and we start aiming for the deep passes.

And especially, hopefully this offensive line holds against the Ravens stout defense. Either way, this is definitely the best defense we'll face all year. It will be a challenge.

Then screw it, come out no huddle and work the intermediate and long passes...you know, that thing that worked against Philly. 

Leave Armah and CJ in the backfield as extra blockers on pass plays, check down guys, and/or punishing runners. This should be a low-scoring smashmouth game and the winner will be the one who's D is the least tired in the 4th.

The battle of Panthers short pass O vs. the Ravens pass D will be one of the big determinants of this close matchup. 

The Ravens have arguably the top pass D in the NFL but that is perhaps due to strength on all 3 levels of the D. They have sacked the opponents QB on 11% of pass attempts thus far. The Panthers OL protection of Newton is critical for team to have any hope of success. 

The vertical game of Al Davis and Don Coryell would be suicide IMO for the Panthers against this Ravens D. Not only are the Panthers lacking elite vertical receivers, but their OL would be stressed beyond their talents to have any hope. The Panthers must be able to establish a run game and short outs to McC in order to slow down the Ravens pass D - then if they are able to control the TOP and establish a lead, Turner will be able to take his chances in the vertical game. This pass defense shut down Antonio Brown and Drew Brees for a reason.

To try and establish a vertical game against the Ravens D as the initial gambit will likely result in the Ravens grinding out a 2-3 score lead and having the Panthers rely on Newton to engineer a comeback against a DL that will be rushing with their ears pinned back. Nothing is impossible in a given game but nobody would put money on that scenario.

poo not with Cam's shoulder sore. This means Baltimore can tackle if they contain well. However, if they blitz heavy and Cam can dump off consistently it could open things up. If we go short, we better get Moore, Samuel and CMC to make some moves and bust it open. This will be a super tough game.

This game will not be won by what our offense does to their defense. 

This game will be won by whether or not our defense can force Flacco into mistakes. 

If we turn Flacco over and produce short fields we win. 

If we turn the ball over ourselves, we lose.

Based on who? The Bengals? The Browns? 

The Panthers are way better than this team who has played no one but the Saints and lost. 

They beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh so "way better" is a reach, at least to this point.

The Steelers are not the Steelers of usual this year. They are basically as good as the Ravens which isn't great.

      I didn't want to pay him and they should have traded him before the 20+ million in dead cap. I feel this is another "blame tepper", he wanted a QB and Panthers only had 4 draft picks. CMC got a bad health report and missed games, but league still valued him and he was the best player on the team. Shitttttterererererererer traded him for 4 future picks, the future 2nd ended up being 61st........so all the other draft picks in 5th 4th were next to last, just a mistake. Yes 49ers at the time looked cook, but CMC helped them reach the SB. Used that 2nd and 3rd in the BY and DJ Johnson trades.....just awful returns. It was dirty to wilks to trade CMC while he was trying to make the playoffs, best I member the run game got better after the trade....   Im just one of those "never pay RB, safety, or MLBs" unless cheap/all world. CMC is not all world, but he's dang close.  Poorly handle, he bought a big home and thought he'd remain a career panther....Herniay made him the 16 million man, tops by 4 full million and no RB passed that mark for 2 years, God dam fug you herniay.  Im anti-RB, but about the last thing they should have done was trade a 1000 1000 threat that wanted to stay here, just total fumble by the Panthers/tepper/herniay/fittterererererererere per normal for this time-line.
