I expect the defense to be better in Carolina. For one thing Dalton is a much more conventional QB than Daniels. Crazy Legs Andy has been known to make an appearance but they don't have to worry about his mobility on anywhere near the same level as Daniels. Hubbard is probably the bigger danger, but they actually did a decent job against Eckler aside from the one big run. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect the D to be very good, but it's basically impossible to be worse than they were Monday night.
Offensively, my $0.02 were the Bengals interested would be to adopt a more ball control-oriented approach. The best way to help the defense is to keep them off the field. Moss and Brown seemed to have found a groove Monday night, let's lean on that. Three or four or five 7-, 8-, 9-minute drives ending in TDs would be ideal. Won't happen of course, this team is built to throw the ball all over the yard and that's what they'll do, come hell or high water. But that's what I would do.
