Panthers vs Bengals (Don't get too excited)

Think of the Bengals as last years Panthers. Their starting QB actually retired instead of choosing to stay on the team because the Bengals wouldn't trade him stating that "Cincinnati is where quarterback careers go to die." They traded their number one receiver who had been disgruntled with the team for some time.

No one can believe Marvin Lewis is still around and is by all accounts is a lame duck coach just waiting to get fired.

The team won 4 games last year and so far in the preseason they have lost both of their games to scores of:

34-3 and 27-7...ewww

If you also look at the Giants team we played I can point to some glaring negative omens for that team as well.

I have optimism for the Panthers in the future. I think our team will only get better as the season goes on. Just take this game with a grain of salt, and don't look to deep into it if we crush the Bengals.

Look at it as a good game for Newton to get more reps and get more comfortable with the offense; and for the DTs, WRs and CBs to continue to improve.

Let's just have some long sustaining drives with good 3rd down efficiency.

My concern in this game is for our defense... not Cam or our offense.

If we let them get more than 10 points on us before the start of the 4th quarter, we have serious... serious problems on the D side of the ball.

And if our D is garbage, it doesn't matter if Newton was throwing like Tom Brady and running like Vick... we aren't gonna win games.

You mean don't take a preseason win seriously?

OMGWTFBBQ

Its the 3rd Preseason game. Both teams are trying to win and bounce back from tough losses to raise the spirits of the club.

While this game isn't as serious as a regular season game and no one will tell you it is both clubs really want a W.

I'm expecting the Panthers to take it.

this.

i already pointed this out in another thread. the defense will be the reason Carolina will or won't win games...too much pressure will be put on cam (or Clausen) to carry the team if the defense doesn't produce.

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
