Looks like Jimmy Clausen't first start is going to be a wet one

Predictions are for anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain over the next 2 days, with a nice 12-15 mph wind to go along with it. If the forecast holds true, its going to be one ugly game tomorrow.

So does the rain help or hurt us? My guess is that if the rain and wind will make passing difficult, it helps us more than it does the Bengals. Our run defense is the one area of our team that is doing pretty well, while Cincy is giving up nearly 5 yards a carry.

And yes, I screwed the thread title up. :)

our passing game right now is so terrible that it actually hurts us.

Cincy has a quality passing game that it will be downgraded to crappy/mediocre in the rain.

We have a crappy/mediocre passing game that will be down graded to absa-freaking-horrible a.k.a. nonexistent.

They will stack the box and make running the ball very difficult.

Clausen could change things but for now I don't know what it's going to be like.

    • Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales. 
    • If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod. 
    • Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
