Palmer is starting

Hobson: “Palmer came out and warmed up in sweats, something he didn’t do last week when Ryan Fitzpatrick played against Cleveland.”

Curnutte: "Carson Palmer will start at quarterback today for the Bengals. He is stretching his legs and hips at the goal line at this point at Texas Stadium.

apathy is almost setting in

I sure wouldnt want to be Carson Palmer’s mother this afternoon, ACK!

Odds of:

 CP being bloody by halftime? Even money

Slim 15 catching a deep ball? 3-1

Ocho Cinco catching a td? 8-1

Utect dropping a ball? 2-1 (IF carson throws to him)

Im really, really disappointed the Bengals turned down two draft pics for Chad this past offseason, ESPECIALLY considering they drafted two WR’s early.

Predictions.

Not actually scores, but what do you predict?

I think that the Bengals will be competitive, and the offense will improve over the game they had with the Giants. I don’t think we’ll see much of Chris Henry, but I do think that the Bengals will stretch the field more.

Defensively, I think we’ll struggle against the pass, but do well against the run early in the game.

I think the Bengals lose by less than a TD. Am I too optimistic?

yup

Bengals lose by 20+. I hate, hate to type that but that is honestly how i feel. The offensive line is a sieve, the running game isnt established, the defensive line gets no push.

But Shayne Graham and the linebackers look good.

anything to change karma

im afraid im starting to equate the orange and black stripes with 18 years of losing, as opposed to 2 Super Bowls. i wonder if there has been any serious discussion to switching it up?

actually i wonder if there has been any serious discussion to hiring more scouts and a GM.

Stupid Redskins!

The Skins just clinched the game in Philly. This next week will be my own personal hell, living in the Washington DC area. I’ll have to endure idiotic ’skins fans talking about how they are going to win the super bowl. And how good Chris Cooley is. I hate that guy, but I hate the people that wear Chris Cooley jerseys even more.

Oh well. Go Bengals.

Bengals defense force field goal...

Romo, in shotgun, looks left, middle of the field, and then left again and throws it to #80 (TE?). Too far in front. Incomplete. Field goal good. Cowboys lead 3-0.

The team is terrible.

Only the Bengals can be “confident” before a game and then go out and have a start like this. The Bengals have done everything wrong, essentially giving the Cowboys 10 points. No leadership at all. Just ineptitude.

All right, let's make a list.

What are the benefits of being 0-5?

1) First draft pick?
2) No expectations, so we’re not liable to being depressed/sad all day Sunday.
3) Injuries don’t radically affect us.

Gotta love the referre who's right on top of the play

He’s looking to refs who are no where near the play to make the call for him.

Dang!

His second foot isn’t in.

Plus, I think we should go for it.

Six yards to go. Can’t trust our Defense right now.

He could light a fire on this rush offense

Six rushes, 25 yards. Just over four yards a rush.

The Bengals might be at the edge of the cliff, but they’re a least pushing back.

Cowboys WR are wide open.

I know that.

WR was a quick way of saying people that are catching passes. My bad.

alright just got to the game

and they aren’t doing as well as i thought they would be. Let me guess, no pass rush, always one cowboy receiver open, and we’re getting 2.3 yards per carry?

by mskiles314 on Oct 5, 2008 5:27 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Long third down converted.

After incomplete, nearly picked off, and a three-yard pass attempt to T.J. who drops the pass, Palmer, on third and ten hits Chatman for good long-third-down gain. Nice. Chatman ran a crossing pattern with Anthony Henry covering.

I must not know anything about football

Because I cannot fathom why they are wasting offensive plays on Chris Perry.

Ugh

Chad was wide open on that one

Blackstock just NAILED Barber -

too bad it was 8 yards down the field.

facemask!

Holy crap, Fletcher. Tuck the ball away!

by Brian B on Oct 5, 2008 5:35 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What a play!!!

1) Romo picks up the first down, but has the ball stripped.
2) Fletcher picks up the ball, returns it. Personal foul on Barber for face mask.

OH MY

Perry was completely wide open and Palmer…sigh….

by bengalschatter on Oct 5, 2008 5:42 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Perry was wide open...

Probably gains a first down, if not a TD.

That was truly terrible...

I think Scott Covington could have made that throw.

He is really kicking the heck out of the ball.

Though the Bengals are looking better...

They’ve already lost the game by not taking advantage of opportunities. Just like last week. Just like the week before. Gaaah.
