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.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
