This is a get right game for the Carolina Panthers defense.

Long as Panthers stay committed to the power running game along with CMC dump-offs, the Panthers have a good chance. 

So your saying use CJ? Because I haven't seen that yet and have no idea why we are not!

Their defense is ranked 27th 

Had a quick look and this doesn't tell the whole picture. 

They have more sacks (8 to our 6) and interceptions (3 to our 1, including a pick six) than us. 

They're actually top of the league in passes defended, joint 5th in sacks and joint 3rd in interceptions. 

That defence is a lot better than their yds/game suggests.

I think the defense will perform well through the first 3 qtrs. It's gonna be on the offense to get a rhythm going with the WR's. We may have to go tit for tat a few drives to hang onto a lead.

Their defense is much better than their raw numbers present. However, they can be had. I've watched their two games. Their LBs are not good in coverage and they dont have the overall team speed that Atlanta presents. I believe the Panthers offense will be able to exploit that since Indy and Baltimore do not have a RB that is a consistent threat as a receiver from the backfield.

Where is his monkey ass?  Suspended?

he got the TD treatment.

I'm a little scared for whoever Captain Munnerlyn is covering this game. 

Also Searcy is likely out this week meaning either Collin Jones or Gaulden is going to be our starting FS

Ugh

Ross is like ted ginn, he keeps the D honest. I think we will be in for another shootout unfortunately.

very likely

What is most laughable about those crying about our defense, is just the history of this team/franchise when it comes to the defense. 

But seems like the huddle is more full of cry babies than actual long standing Panther fans.

Or maybe we are just realists and recognize that this defense shouldn’t be considered a top defense until it actually shows it on the field.

Franchise history/reputation mean literally nothing when you’re getting absolutely gashed by Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith.

Yeah when Andy Dalton comes and demolishes this defense because we are playing Colin Jones, Gaulden, and Elder because looks like Jackson will be out you will be on here whining as well. Guess what we will be on here to tell ya about it.

Our defense will need to make stops and force field goals in order for us to win the game.

Joe Mixon is out. 

Gio isn't 100%. 

 

The Bengals will struggle to run the ball making it exponentially more difficult for Andy Dalton. 

The Panthers defense just had a nice ass chewing and will be out for blood. 

 

This is a get right game for the defense. 

The recipe is all there for a get right game. At home where the defense always plays better a week after being embarrassed by a division rival. Playing a Bengals team that is basically a less talented version of the Falcons, and not used to playing the same level of competition as the Panthers regularly face. By all logical standards, this should be a Panthers win.

But this is the Panthers we're talking about, on what is supposed to be a "down" year, so I could see the Panthers losing a mind numbing game that makes us all throw our remote controls across the room a few times.

[amcoolio]

If Jackson and Searcy are out, who are our DB's? 

Doss? Jones? Yeah no thanks.  How are we supposed to stop this passing attack.
