Bengals - Panthers Pregame/Game Thread.

[UK Bengal]

funny how the 60th odd pick is showing the no1 pick how to be a QB in the NFL

[bwillycuse]

B. Scott is freaking crazy man he is fast

Yeah, Scott needs a lot of touches this year. Just stay healthy

[volcom69]

I love the way Newton can take it upon himself to get a 1st down,

Dalton also ran for a first down but with the Gresham holding it cam back

[BengalszoneBilly]

Bengals BALL!!!

[volcom69]

B. Scott is just crazy!!! Scott TDDDDDDDDDD!!! Wow he is crazy

[BengalszoneBilly]

TOUCHDOWN SCOTT!!

[BengalszoneBilly]

Is that really a 14 point lead I see Cincinnati with!?!

[volcom69]

O-line is playing the best i have seen them in along time. In fact Livings is playing pretty good himself.

[BengalByTheBay]

...but with the Gresham holding it cam back

I see what you did there. Very clever.

(Don't admit it was a typo.)

[volcom69]

Im sure everyone will say, its just the Panthers, and i get that but what i love is maybe the offense can get alittle confidence going here tonight. Alot of good things for this team to build on here tonight

[volcom69]

Crocker big sack on Newton

[volcom69]

MJ is a beast out there also

[volcom69]

Gresham huge catch

[BengalszoneBilly]

Let's see a 51 second TD drive. That would really get me stoked!

[volcom69]

Shipley is the best reciever on this team, awsome

Dalton changes the play at the line of scrimage

[volcom69]

Dalton to Leonard quick throws

[volcom69]

Wow great read by Dalton just misses Green in the endzone. Wow Dalton showing me something tonight with his reads and where to go with the ball. Even though he slighlty over threw him with the pressure in his face, Dalton impressed me with that

[volcom69]

Nugent with a long FG at the end of the half, awsome job again by the offense

[kingwilly]

Let's see a 51 second TD drive. That would really get me stoked!

Got the FG, not terrible.

Much, much, much better tonight.

Now, if the Bengals are a dumpster fire, Carolina is a volcano on Mercury.

16 first downs in the first half. Wow. What a nice half of football. Even Benson avenged his fumble, which was really the only smudge in the first half.

[BengalszoneBilly]

I'll settle for an incredibly long figgie.

[UK Bengal]

I'm very impressed with this performance but It is only the 1-15 panthers so I am a realist and It would be a different kettle of fish against the squeelers and ratbirds but you never know. Tonight has given me a little more hope that we can improve.

now, andy - maybe throw a spiral? He doesn't throw a pretty ball.

that half of football has made me smile - way to go bengals

[UK Bengal]

CAROLINA PANTHERS

= No1 pick OWNED!!!!

It's not like Dalton has the arm of Gino Torreta. It is plenty strong for the NFL. Dalton will be a better Pro than Cam Newton. Dalton was the best QB in the draft. But he's only 6-2, he has red hair, he played at TCU. The dude was a winner. Like Ben was (puke). He wasn't just a winner. They guy can throw and can read defenses. He will only get better. RED DRAGON is the MAN.

However they can build on this performance, give them some kind of confidence moving forward.

Oline kept there pad level down all half long, mulling people over giving huge running holes, and the pass protection was very good.

Dalton changing his play at the line of scrimage, getting guys lined up and who to block, he looked very good out there.

Defense continue to improve, and im really liking this new LB core!! Reggie Nelson still looking very good

I take it the first unit is done for the night, so i would give them a very good grade tonight, now build off of this!
