I don't know a ton about the Bengals outside of their star players so maybe some of you can let me know. 

What I do know is they are 0-3. They're going to be very desperate for a win, I think thats either going to be a huge bonus to them or a huge negative if we strike fast and early like vs Las Vegas.

People are saying their defense is ass. Sure. But are you really expecting Andy Dalton to explode yet again and outduel Joe Burrow? 

Is Jaycee Horn good enough to lock up Jamarr Chase? Is Mike Jackson good enough to at least slow down Tee Higgins?? 

Even in our win last Sunday, our lack of a pass rush was still evident. Giving Joe Burrow lots of time is not good. Albeit, I think their RT went down on Monday night.

Personally I think this game could go either way. But expecting us to go 30+ and Andy to do 300+ and 3TDs again is expecting a LOT.

With Dalton under center we have a chance to win every game.  We're back to the fundamentals deciding football games.

Don't turn the ball over.

Run the ball and stop the run.

And quoting Cannales....Throw it over their head and stop them from doing it.

If Washington can beat them we can beat them.

Bengals haven't won a game.

 

Our chances are good if we play our game. I don't care about the Bengals SB run years ago. They are not the same team. I don't care if you think Burrow is the best QB in football he's not Andy MF'n Dalton. I don't care if you think we are the underdogs. I don't care if you don't believe. I don't care if you are depressed and sad. 

 

The new era started last week. Panthers win 28-17.

 

Dalton Up Son!

I think this could be a very good game. The more I think about it, I just don't see our secondary being able to contain their WR's because Burrow is a dramatically superior QB to the Minshew in Bryce Young clothing version that we saw Sunday.

I think our inability to consistently create pressure on Burrow will lead to issues defensively that we just aren't able to overcome.

There are Asians in the Bengals armor, however. They do not run the ball well and they do not defend the run well. If we can control that aspect of the game, we might be able to force them to be fairly one dimensional.

I am actually looking forward to this matchup.

They are desperate and I wouldn't bet against that. Should be a good game. I still don't care about wins if the team is competitive and things are improving.

Yeah, I care more about how the team performs and if the game plans look sound. It's acknowledged that we dramatically lack talent(I know people get upset to hear this) but it is actually very true. We are a team lacking in overall talent. That will manifest itself several times this season, most likely.

The sky will not fall if that is the case. It just is what it is.

Yep. The Panthers can not get into a shoot out with the Bengals. Evero called a great game against the Raiders, but not sure he has the players to slow down the Bengals. This is a classic, Jimmy and Joes vs Xs and Os.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
