So the Bengals have looked fuging bad this year. They had a good offensive performance against a redskins team that probably doesn’t have a great defense. Jayden Daniels looks amazing sure; but Jayden daniels didn’t have anything to do with a 33 year old tight end waddling around wide open, and kingsbury’s offense is a known quantity at this point. beating it is all about execution; it’s not complex. 

the bengals lost Trent brown against the reds kind as well. 

Obviously burrow is burrow and chase is chase. Higgins is also clearly a stud. 

Raiders probably have a better d line than Cincinnati. Without thielen the panthers are going to have to run the ball. 

I think the whole game comes down to how horn does on chase, and how the panthers run block. If they win both those matchups I think they win. 

the other thing about the raiders game is it was such a blowout and the raiders were so obviously outmatched I’m not sure how much good tape there is on the Dalton panthers. They were doing whatever they wanted.

They struggle to run the ball and they don’t generate a consistent pass rush.

Those 2 things bode well for us.  
 

They can score from anywhere on the field.

No lead is safe.

We’ll need to control the clock, and win the turnover battle.

Itll be a tough one to win against an angry team.  It can be done, we’ll just have to see which Panthers team shows up.

Pass rush comes alive. 4 sacks, 2 PD, 1 strip sack and fumble recovery. 

1 int for the secondary. 

Andy throws 3 more TDs, 1 pick, 340 yards. 1 of the TDs goes to Trimble on a seam route. Running game goes 185 yards total. Chuba goes over 100 and has a 17 yard run that goes for 6. 

Final score 31-17 us. We win the TOP battle by 7 minutes.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
