September 24, 200619 yr Agreed, if it wasn't for all the turnovers, I don't see either team seeing 20... When do people start seeing that maybe it isn't that Ben's hurt, but he really isn't very good? I will be the first to agree that #7 has not been anywhere close to par his first two games back, but Im not ready to give up on him yet...The one ball he threw deep and got picked on, you could tell he just didnt have the strength back from the surgery...Only time will tell.
September 24, 200619 yr I guess Bengal fans shouldn't be happy that Carson had 3 TO's but still went on the road to throw 4 TD's against the defending world champs..... somebody get Marvin on the phone we are NOT to celebrate Carson sticking in there and guiding us to a victory not with 3 TO'S! We're happy with the win, but to say that Carson's play was great is wrong....
September 24, 200619 yr If you're comfortable with your QB turning it over three times DESPITE the win, I guess we look at the game a little differently... Under the conditions(weather & on the road against a good D)when the opposing QB does the same but has NOOOOO TD's yeh I'll likely take that. Not overly enthused about it but sure it meets my needs and what I'm after...
September 24, 200619 yr I agree, but I don't see many teams on the Bengals schedule that will force the offense to look that bad like the Steelers did today.You'll see them in the playoffs.
September 24, 200619 yr The passing game obviously is behind the running game. The bye weekend can help that out, when you consider Ben's health. Haynes (34) has been a solid contributor and I believe that is the first fumble I've ever seen him make — I'll give him a mulligan. The return game is the biggest concern; everything else will work itself out. You are certainly an optimist. I commend you for that.
September 24, 200619 yr We're happy with the win, but to say that Carson's play was great is wrong.... And Carson would be the very first to say so.

September 24, 200619 yr Did anyone notice how many hard hits there were today? Nice AFC North style... :thumb: I love to watch good ol' fashion hard hitting "slobberknockers" football! Both teams laid some big time hits.

I think it was a little more than that. He threw that ball 15-20 yards short.
September 24, 200619 yr Author We're happy with the win, but to say that Carson's play was great is wrong.... He was sacked 6 times and running for his life half the game.. too throw 4 TD's against "One of the best D's" in the league is a great game. Its almost like he was supposed to put up a donut in the TD column like Big Ben because he had a few TO's :confused:

Not overly enthused about it but sure it meets my needs and what I'm after...Why do you keep comparing their performances?! Last I checked, Roethlisberger is NOT considered to be in Palmer's league, least of all by Bengal fans. Palmer should be judged by what he can do and by what his team needs, and not taking care of the football like that will result in too many losses for a Bengals deep run in the playoffs. Palmer is better than that, and Cincy needs him to play like it. I just can't understand the blythe attitude over this.
