September 19, 201015 yr I'm not sure which D we have - the D that played against NE or the D that played today. Bengals cannot have success with CP throwing like he has so far.
September 19, 201015 yr Glad they go the win, but we definitely need more out of Palmer and the offense.
September 19, 201015 yr I'm not sure which D we have - the D that played against NE or the D that played today. There's a difference in playing defense against a good offense and a bad offense.
September 19, 201015 yr D looked great. Palmer did not. Thought we even had great protection for Palmer and he still just isn't playing well.
September 19, 201015 yr Not sure what Palmers deal is, the O line stepped up, gave him time, and he's still forcing throws, under throwing guys, and generally just sucking it up lately.
September 19, 201015 yr The Bengals should have no issues winning the next 3 games and should be favored in the next 5. A 6-1 start would be great, but I think anything less than 5-2 would be a disappointment. We need to get off to a good start because the 2nd half of our schedule is absolutely brutal.
September 19, 201015 yr Just back from the game. Great crowd, great D, not so great O. Palmer really looked shaky. Win's a win though.
September 19, 201015 yr Palmer's throwing inaccuracy is definitely a big concern. The Bengals lead the NFL in completing 3rd down passes 1 or 2 yards short of the first down. Cedric Benson looked great today. I loved the juke step on Ray that left Lewis grabbing air while Benson went on around end for the first down. Big year coming for Benson. Big improvement in the offensive line this week, especially pass blocking. The kickers were great today - Nugent and Huber. Kickoff coverage team is still looking shaky but the rest of the special teams improved a lot this week.
September 19, 201015 yr What happened to Adam Jones? After his pick and getting slapped in the face by Rice, he never came back in. Also, what about Joseph? They don't announce these things at the game. As for Palmer, he was definitely shaky today, but I thought he got pressured quite a bit. He couldn't step into quite a few through because defenders were around his legs. Bratkowski still sucks as an OC. 3rd and 2 and you're running Scott between the tackles. 3rd and 8 and you have receivers running 5 yard routes. It was sad. Only one attempt down the field today,
