Doesn’t appear that Graham will be able to kick with his leg injury. He’s listed as inactive today.

This is the first time that Graham has missed a game as a Cincinnati Bengal.

Dave Rayner will take over kickoff, FG and PAT duties.

Thornton being out, gives Pat Sims his first chances at snaps on defense this season. Orien Harris is starting for Thornton.

Dexter Jackson
Andre Caldwell
Jerome Simpson
Jason Shirley
Corey Mays

Granted, these are important in every game. But with Fitzpatrick at QB, the team needs to focus on having Fitzpatrick manage the game, rather than trying to win the game.

1) Convert third downs.
2) No turnovers
3) Not allowing big plays defense

Curnutte talks about this year’s draft picks and their (lack of) contributions.

Rayner hasn’t exactly been a long-range dialer on field goals during stints with San Diego, Green Bay, Kansas City, and Indianapolis. He’s 13-for-19 from both 30-39 yards and 40-49 yards and 1-for-5 from 50 and beyond. He’s missed only one of 15 field-goal tries from inside 30 and missed one of 46 extra-point tries.

The blocks could be a problem. Three of his attempts have been blocked and he’s had virtually no time with long snapper Brad St. Louis and holder Kyle Larson.

They’re 31st against the pass, and 5th against the run.

However, against the pass, that 265 yards-per-game allowed against the pass was inflated after Kurt Warner threw for 472 yards — in the other three games, the Jets haven’t given up more than their current average allowed.

Same thing could be applied with their impressive 75 yards per game allowed rushing. The Cardinals were down 34-0 at half time and rushing was out of the picture in the second half — thus (backwards) inflating their averages.

They’ve allowed 100 yards rushing in two games, win over the Patriots, loss to the Chargers.

They are wearing gold pants, with gold number on their uniforms. Their shirts are a dark, dark blue with dark, dark, blue helmet.

Washington returns short of the 25.

Favre, end arounds to Coles. Jeanty pursues Coles and tackles him from behind for a two-yard gain.

Quick snap, Favre throws to Cotchery on a quick WR screen to the left. Few yards.

Leon Hall hurt on the play. Holding onto his knee.

Has a slight limp. Game went to break.

Favre, in shotgun with Washington, two WRs on the right. ANTWAN ODOM SACKS and forces Favre to fumble. Ndukwe picks up the fumble. TOUCHDOWN BENGALS!!!!!

And it’s the defense.

That’s the second touchdown by the defense this year — I think. JJ against the Ravens too… if I forgot another, let me know.

Jets return it to the Bengals 47-yard line.

Favre, in shotgun, hands off to Washington. Dhani Jones hits Washington at the LOS and the Jets have no gain.

Sorry, one yard loss. Favre hands off to Thomas Jones on a draw. Missed tackle by Sims and Jones picks up eight. Bengals were blocked at the second level.

Chatman in the backfield with Washington. Favre in shotgun, with tons of time, throws to Coles about a yard short (he stopped a yard short of the first down marker). Jones makes the stop.

Jets go empty backfield, Favre in shotgun, scrambles and hits a receiver for a 3-4 yard gain and a first down.

Favre, in shotgun with Washington in the backfield. Favre looks left and throws immediately to Coles on the left. David Jones covering single man and blocked Coles’ view. Incomplete.

Flag on the play, illegal member of the offense down field… #65. Five yards and replay third down. THANK GOD.

Favre, in shotgun with Washington in the backfield. BEnglas bring two more. Favre hits Cotchery on the right for a touchdown.

Howeve,r #83 is called for offensive PI.

Replay third down. LOL!

Sorry, I lost my browser, so I don’t have the play written out. Favre threw an incomplete to Coles.

Favre in offset I, strong ot the right. Favre hands off to Jones. The Jets O-line collapsed the center of the defense and Jones picks up six yard.s

Favre, quick hit Cotchery on the left. He dives for the endzone but came .5 yards short. Leon Hall missed the tackle that would have stopped Cotchery for a limited gain.

Jets line up big. Favre drops back and hits Thomas Jones running into the flats (to the right), and Favre hits him uncovered. Play fake.

Jets and Bengals tied at 7.

The Jets were set up with prime position after a long kickoff return. Then the Jets had two TDs called back by penalty. On third down and 19, Leon Hall was called for illegal contact after an incomplete pass. Then the Jets scored after two more plays.

CBS back to commercial. Imagine that.

Fitzpatrick hands off to Chris Perry, with Reggie Kelly leading hte block. Hits the LOS and the pile holds up Perry for about a 2 yard gain.

Fitzpatrick, in off-set I, drops back. Looks right and then over the middle, fake pumped over the middle and decides to take off to the right. Dropped for no-gain.

Fitz in shotgun, with four WRs, is pressured off the edges. Fitz scrambles and runs, and picks up the first down.

HOWEVER, holding on Eric Ghiaciuc.

Fitz, in shotgun with 3 WRs (Henry on the right). Fitz hits Utecht at the original line of scrimmage, 10 yards short of the first down. Jets dropped eight into coverage. Bengals punt.

Hand off to Jones, right up the middle. Harris and Peko blocked, opening the middle of the line. Picks up four yards.

Favre drops back to throw, plenty of time, hits Colts sitting a yard short of the first down marker, who turns for another few yards and the first down.

Favre pitches to the left (Washington). Ndukwe comes up to the line of scrimmage — the blocking at the POA was solid, though Hall shed off to force the RB to stretch.

Run to the right. Bengals defense reacts quickly forcing the run out of bounds for a one-yard gain.

Favre, with 4 WRs in shotgun. Favre looks and fakes to the right. He throws to the RB on the left in the flats who was uncovered. David Jones misses the tackle that would have been short of the first down. Instead, the Jets pick up the first.

Dhani Jones getting on David Jones.

Thomas Jones gets the hand off, up the middle. Odom drags down the running from behind for a two-yard gain.

Favre hits Cotchery on a WR screen to the left. After Hall (or JJ) missed the initial tackle, Rivers was there to minimize the gain for one yard.

Jets called for Delay of Game.

Favre in shotgun, with 2 WRs. Favre under pressure, throws the ball over the middle who screwed up his throw. The ball was nearly picked by JJ and falls incomplete.

Fitz: 1/1 8 yards — Jets credited with one sack, but Fitz was committed to run on that play.
Perry: one rush, two yards

Favre: 9/11, 62 yards, TD
Jones: 4 rushes, 20 yards
Washington: 3 rushes, 4 yards
Cotchery: 4 receptions, 33 yards
Coles: 3 receptions, 19 yards

Offense: Bengals 10 yards, Jets 74 yards.
First downs: Bengals 0, Jets 7 (six by passing)

Chatman fair caught the pass at the four. It wouldn’t have mattered if he caught it or not. The Jets were behind him and would have downed it closer to the endzone.

Hand off (delay) to Perry over the middle. Blocking was there, but Perry decided to stretch it out to the left. Perry doesn’t get to the line of scrimmage. Guy Jones is blocking, sheds off the block — though Jones was blocking out anticipating Perry to turn it up inside, instead he went out.

Perry hand off over the middle. Big pile, no gain.

Fitz drops back and throws a RB screen to the left. The Jets defense was in Fitz face quickly, who over throws Perry for the incomplete. Larson forced to punt at the back of the end zone.

False start, pushing the offense further back into the endzone.

Punt goes to the Jets 49-yard line, and return it back to the Bengals 39-yard line.

The Bengals offense has run six plays, picked up 13 yards and no first downs.

Favre, in play-action, hits Washington sneaking out from the backfield, over the middle, and picking up 12 yards.

Favre, with Double TE, and single back, hits Coles on a quick hit to he left. Entire Bengals defense runs to their right while Coles reverses field to the other side. Thank god Keith Rivers stayed home, only allowed two yard gain — could have been worse.

Favre hands off (draw) to Washington. Fanane had Washington in the backfield — surely a 3-4 yard loss. Peko shed off his block and dropped Washington for no gain — good play by Peko.

Favre in shotgun, trips to the left. Favre looks left, then throws over the middle to Coles. Pass was perfect, but David Jones made contact with Coles when the ball hit his hands forcing the incomplete. For sure, that was a touchdown.

Fitz scrambles to the right, about to throw, but has the ball stripped and the Jets recovered.

Bengals defensive line just manned by the Jets O-line. Jones followed his blocks into the endzone.

The Jets, when they run up the middle, block our Defensive tackles too easily — except for that one play that Fanene and Peko made a play.

Ghiaciuc’s guy was basically unblocked.

Looks like Ghiaciuc’s guy, coming over the middle.

Fitzpatrick, runs the ball over hte middle… about five yards short of the first down.

Remember when some morons said we should sit palmer and play fitz. where are you at now???

1) three and out
2) three and out
3) three and fumble
4) three and out

when was the last time we actually threw it down the field to Chad??

who do you think is the worse player on this team? it has to be a toss up between these two

1) Third and 18… Bengals punt
2) Third and seven (incomplete, over throw to Perry)… Bengals punt.
3) Third and four (fumble)… Jets run for TD on Turnover.
4) Third and 16… Bengals punt.

bratowski is a genious

do the football gods hate us

For a four-yard loss.

They hate mike brown just like everyone in this city

I BET WE GO 3 AND OUT

Jets: 17:39
Bengals: 7:24

Our defense can’t be on the field all day long.

we need to force mike brown out by any means necessary

Finally hits Chad Johnson on a pass for a first down.

FIRST DOWN

Lost two yards on the play.

But Ghiaciuc was on his ass after diving at peole’s legs, missing everyone.

brat is a complete loser and perry is now in the top three of most pathetic bengals ever

Fitz rolled out to the right and hit T.J. on the right sidelines.

Fitz throws to T.J. about 2 yards beyond the LOS. T.J. was hit when the ball arrived, fumbling/juggling the pass and nearly picked. Incomplete.

Ben Utecht was WIDE WIDE OPEN over the middle of the field.

Fitz sneaks it and picks up the first. Bengals call TO #1.

I think we should play little palmer

Fitz, in shotgun, throws the ball to the right corner pylon. Henry catches the ball, but the ball was thrown too far out of bounds. Didn’t have a chance.

Fitz, throws over the middle of the field to Utecht. GREAT catch with guy behind him, and in front of him. Window was small. Bengals pick up the first down.

Hand off to Perry. Runs into a pile. No gain.

Bengals score TD. Close the deficit to three points.

Good job by Fitz to take the Bengals for a TD.

10/14, 76 yards.

Perry, five rushes for four yards.
