Today's STARTING lineup -- and active roster
The inactives, not including the three already listed as out on the injury report, are Corey Lynch, Frank Davis and Jason Shirley.
The reason the Bengals de-activated Lynch is because the Bengals wanted to be bigger up front. Not sure about Shirley.
Frostee Rucker will start ahead of Antwan Odom.

Hell I don't know...
He’s just not that good, IMHO. But you’re probably right. They want to ease Odom’s playing time. I’d like to know why Shirley is inactive today.
With Sims and Shirley out, the Bengals will only have three active defensive tackles; Thornton, Peko and the new guy Orien Harris.
I’m sure Fanene, maybe even Rucker, might rotate in at DT, but that doesn’t seem really beneficial to me.

Odem will probably get more snaps anyway, unless he’s not as 100% as he says. And if we keep talking about shirley, I’m going to have to go out and buy AIRPLANE.

With writers not really watching games, just checking out the raw stats of box scores and the score board, then voting, a bigger differential helps teams improve their spot in the rankings.

Anybody see the ESPN Outside the Lines report this morning on Jerry Jones?
The media finally criticized the Cowboys for their long history of “unsavory” signings. They even carted out Emmitt Smith (with his beard nicely dyed by Just for Men) to defend his former organization while Troy Aikman said the signing of Pacman Jones was an embarrassment. Of course, ESPN could not get through a report on criminality in the NFL without mentioning the Cincinnati Bengals (ignoring the recent spate of arrests by the Chargers and Jaguars organizations).
For a moment I thought ESPN was doing some real journalism…

Screw Mort
And let’s hear some predictions for this game and the season.
We beat the Ravens by a touchdown or more.
9-7 season (realistically IMO)
by BengalChron on Sep 7, 2008 12:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
9-7 good enough for playoffs?
Assuming that one of the wild cards come out of the AFC South, do the Bengals have a shot at the other Wild Card (assuming that we don’t win the AFC North)?

by Kirkendall on Sep 7, 2008 12:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Cleveland and Baltimore will both have losing records.
Therefore, 9-7 is likely good enough.

Case in Point,
That should never happen in a professional game. Like a wraparound goal in hockey, some things should never work at the professional level.

While the Bengals offense goes three and out a billion times, the Ravens’ offense has been on the field a lot. Coverage is decent and guys are making plays on the ball.

Palmer, after play action, hits Utecht running a route at the LOS (why in the hell do you run that ROUTE?!!!), picking up only two yards.

Not only is the team frustrating but I can’t even see the game here in Hattiesburg, MS. Can’t find it online and not a single bar around town is showing it. Not even BW3’s.

Flacco, play action with plenty of time… holds on to the ball for about seven seconds before rolling out to the right on his own. Geathers finally breaks off his block and forces Flacco to throw it away.

The Bengals should be able to beat a beat up bunch like that with a rookie quarterback starting his first game. Should have gone golfing. In fact, my wife and I decided next Sunday it’s definitely golf. I remember a former Bengals coach who famously stated there were more important things to do on a Sunday afternoon—golf to be teed up for one. I’m done with this bunch. They’re pathetic. They stink and should be ashamed of themselves—from ownership to coaching to the players. There’s not an ounce of pride in this entire organization.
