October 23, 200619 yr So you had a problem with all 10 incomplete passes in the 2nd half. Right...No, I had a problem with the big plays that would have put the Bengals ahead but didn't because Carson Palmer, All-Universe, was overthrowing his man on every shot down field. Don't play around. You know I think Carson Palmer is Da Man, but there were some second half throws that he wishes he had back and you know it if you were watching. Any time a QB of his caliber is overthrowing every deep ball, and it's not even close, he's off. And remember, this is all a compliment to Palmer in a way... if this were Mike Vick we were talking about, I'd probably say he played the game of his life as a far as throwing goes.

Well, at the end of last year he would have made those connections.He probably will again this year as time goes on.Look at it this way,if he was going to miss on some of the plays I'm thinking about he missed the right way.If they were thrown short they would have been intercepted.:thumb:

The corner got turned around looking for the ball and hit his shoulder. I think in that case the corner was actually playing the pass as if he expected an overthrown ball.

I think in that case the corner was actually playing the pass as if he expected an overthrown ball. The wind probably caught it.It was really whipping yesterday.The plays I was thinking of were over the middle and had to be layed in there on a spot.If the line keeps getting better with the new guys in there Palmer will be alright he has been getting pounded the last few weeks and things settled down in the second half yesterdayl.
October 23, 200619 yr At one point on the NBC football show, they showed that the wind blew one of the flags off the pole on the field.
October 23, 200619 yr One of Palmer's over throws on a deep ball was one to CJ, who actually stopped on the route. His stopping made the ball appear to be well overthrown, when it was not necessarily the case.
October 23, 200619 yr One of Palmer's over throws on a deep ball was one to CJ, who actually stopped on the route. His stopping made the ball appear to be well overthrown, when it was not necessarily the case. He stopped because he couldn't get to it. It looked to me like he was going to make sure he tackled the guy.
October 23, 200619 yr He stopped because he couldn't get to it. It looked to me like he was going to make sure he tackled the guy. You don't quit and look to tackle the guy, you interfere if you have to and make sure he doesn't intercept it. If that was truly his mindset, he is crazy.
October 23, 200619 yr Yes, he was. At this level, when I say way off, I don't mean he was throwing a county in the wrong direction. Off is when the balls are consistantly placed just past the finger tips of the recievers. Way off is when the balls are completely uncatchable. What about that ball that was a perfect throw to the corner back, if he had just turned around to catch it? He was way off. You obviously watched a different game (at least second half) than I did. He might have been "off" a little bit, but no where close to "way off". 23/39, 240 2TD, O INT is anthing but "way off"

He might have been "off" a little bit, but no where close to "way off". 23/39, 240 2TD, O INT is anthing but "way off" There are several NFL teams that would hope to have their QB "OFF" with these stats on this coming Sunday.

And I've already explained what I thought about the stats anyway.
October 23, 200619 yr Chatman is coming into his own as a wide out. I'm more excited about him as a return man instead of a receiver.
October 23, 200619 yr Since the 0 INT is an absolute gift, I wouldn't brag about that stat. And I've already explained what I thought about the stats anyway. Good answer.
October 23, 200619 yr Good answer. I thought so. Did you not see the play were the corner was the only man with a shot at the ball, got his head turned around, and had it bounce off his shoulder? He came up punding the turf and cussing himself, because he knew he should have had the pick. Thus, 0 INTs was a gift from the Football Gods, because there was one right there that only luck prevented.
