Bengals - Panthers Pregame/Game Thread.

Anybody watch Thomas Howard cover the running back 25 yards down the field, he could be the cover LB they have had in awhile, he is impressing me very much

Howard and Lawson have speed on the outside that the Bengals have maybe never had.

If Mays gets into games, they have the speed to cover any TE in the NFL. Finally.

One thing I have like is the Gruden's play calling. With brat gone, it is nice to not have to worry about seeing an end-around every 3 or 4 games.

wasent the first play of the game an end around to green or was it a quick pass and run i didnt see it ?

I am being sarcastic. What a dumb call, huh? The rest of the game, great. First play, idiotic.

Really it went for first down yardage!

Why would you expose AJ Green to a play like that in the preseason? Maybe in the playoffs. Not against Carolina.

wooohoooo, they just beat the NFL Powerhouse that is Carolina......$10 says that if this were a regular season game, Carolina would have won......that's how bad it is.

Nobody said they are an awesome team all of the sudden but looking at it being the warm-up for the regular season, and the fact how they played in the first 2 games...they look like a team that is consistently improving. What more can we ask for right now?

Everything this guy says is negative, because he hates Dalton.

It was a preseason game, but it was also a game that showed improvement. Look at the o-line play tell me the last time you seen that group of guys play like that....its been awhile. Tell me the last time you seen WR block like that. Its all about improving from week to week, and if you ask me they improved big time. So just because he hates Dalton he will come in here and bash this team about anything, without seeing the good things this team did tonight. Oh well!!!

6 carries for 63 yards and a TD.....Like I've been saying for the past couple seasons....GIVE THE BALL TO BERNARD SCOTT !!!!!!!!

Scott and Benson are very very solid tandem. Perhaps Gruden will learn how to use them properly.

Green is going to be scary good. Dalton'd TD pass was a bit of a flinger. Not much more arm there than the 50 yards he put it through the air. That's max. Dalont looked sharp running the offense. Smooth and clean.

The defense held the Carolina run game to virtually zilch. very encouraging. Atkins is a good player. Lawson, Rey and Howard are looking fast and decisive. The improvement of speed at LB is very clear.

I love the new LB core!

Reggie Nelson continues to shine on defense once again he looked real good

I was at the game tonight and let me tell you, Dalton is light years ahead of Newton. Cam was no threat throwing the ball. He was very inaccurate and he had an awfully hard time finding open receivers. He's a whale of an athlete but will he ever find accuracy and be able to read defenses? I do wish Dalton had Newton's height and arm strength. Dalton's lack of height still bothers me and I would like to see him show a little more arm strength. He's pretty much the smallest guy on the field on most plays

OK - Reedy said that at the stadiuim, they played Sweet Caroline instead of Hang on Sloopy.

ALL SORTS OF WRONG WITH THAT!!!!!!

Sweet Caroline is a tradition at Boston Red Sox games I think. AND its played at every PITT PANTHERS home game. Its their tradition now as well. My only experience with it at a game is at Heinz Field when I saw Pike and UC beat Pitt at the wire a couple years ago. LInk below says Pitt has used it for a few years.

Its wrong Mikey. Pick another song. I wont join in. I dont want the thought of copying Pittsburgh when I am at the game. (Well 50 Heinz ketchup commercials on jumbotron doesnt help either)

We are in OHIO. Im not really fully in favor of playing an Ohio State song in UC territory but Sweet Caroline? Wow.

End rant/ Great game Bengals
