The Bengals find new and exciting ways to lose to bad teams - Tampa Bay 24, Cincinnati 21

Carson Palmer threw three interceptions. Cedric Benson ran for well over 100 yards. Tampa Bay turned the ball over 3 times. Which correlated most strongly with a win today? Apparently Palmer's interceptions, which lead to 17 Tampa Bay points off of turnover, including a pick-6 and the decisive field goal that ended the game and the Bengals' hopes of getting out of the only easy part of their schedule with a winning record.
Today's game marked consecutive losses to two of the worst teams in the league. The vaunted defense couldn't hold up when it counted. Palmer was remarkably un-clutch. The weapons committed interference and deflected a ball into the oppositions' hands. The Bengals have lost to two teams in a row that they have to have believed they could beat.
There's no good excuse. The Bengals just aren't a good football team, as things appear. They can't put teams away. They give games away like they're candy on Halloween. Importantly, they committed an immense amount of damning penalties in this game.
It's really not fun anymore, boys. This team does absolutely nothing well - and this is against bad teams. 8-8 would be pretty lucky.

Mike Brown is in charge
the Bengals scouts suck, it ain’t gonna help.
Recent 2nd round picks? Try Jerome Simpson and Carlos Dunlap, for starters.

Fair enough
There’s no point arguing, because you’re likely to be right
Fancy an indoor training facility? I have one spare!!!
I swear if I hear one of these fans say
It’s still early, or this wasn’t Carsons fault. I’ll come find you and kick you right in the balls..
oh please. palmer may not be stepping up but his so called arsenal of superstars on offense sure look like they cover they hands in butter before the game. 3 third down drops. and ocho, nice holding onto the ball or nice off your finger tips to cost us

Fire Marvin
Look at the penalty count.
Look at the underachieving.
Look at the poor discipline.
You have to ask yourself what this guys has done to keep his job. The Bengals were horrible in the past. Now they are mediocre at best.
Don’t accept this. Fir Marvin. Draft a QB.
The 2011 season starts now.

Wow I just cannot believe what is his issue???
….upset USC got smashed by the NCAA?
110% on Bob Bratkowski.
And I’m usually very much a “players have to execute” kind of guy. But The entire coaching staff could be fired after this. Especially Brat.
3rd and long, near our own 40 with just over 2 minutes to play, up by a touchdown. What does any 8 year old playing Madden do? Run the ball, pick up a few yards but not the first, run the clock down to the 2 minute warning, trot out your phenom punter, pin the TAMPA BAY FREAKING BUCANEERS back inside their own 20 with no timeouts left, and just keep them from driving 80 yards into the endzone. How tough is that?
But NO. We have to be TRICKY and try to THROW FOR A FIRST DOWN? I am livid and I won’t be watching this team anymore this year, or ever again as long as Bob Bratkowski is on the payroll. Feeling strongly the same way about Marvin at this point.
I would disagree
but apportioning blame amongst all the guilty parties would only diminish the failure of this afternoon.
I'm not saying there isn't TONS of other blame to go around.
But that SINGLE decision made the difference between winning and losing this game. Hand it to Brian Leonard on that play instead of throwing and you win the game 99% of the time. There is absolutely NO justification for that play call there.
I agree
I will no longer support this team when Bratkowski is the offensive coordinator.
I ripped my banner down today, tore off and threw away my favorite Bengals shirt and feel disgusted at that horrible game.
I stuck with the Bengals all my life but I can’t take it anymore. So much talent and yet such HORRIBLE coaching decisions. Bratkowski should have been fired long ago and I think the players are starting to realize how much he truly SUCKS.
Screw Palmer too, acted like a little bitch when Ochocinco dropped that last pass. Well guess what ASSHOLE Palmer, you lost the game for Cincy.

Au contraire mon fraire
Mistake? Maybe not. I’m a Steelers fan, and so I applaud the Cincy coaching staff for going for the win. You may recall Pittsburgh losing the the Ravens last week after they ran the ball 3 straight times near their own endzone and failed to pick up a game-winning first down. I was one of the fans praying the offense would be more aggressive in going for a first down, I did not think three straight runs into the heart of the opposing defense had a good chance of succeeding, and I did not want the ball turned back over to the other team. They failed to get 10 yds, punted the ball away, and the rest is history.
It didn’t work out, but the aggressiveness was a good thing, imo.
he will be here
MB dont have the balls to fire him

Not at all
They are the Cincinnati Groundhogs.
People are calling for everybody’s head — and rightfully so because Brat would have been run out of any other city BEFORE Marvin Lewis even came to town — but the difficult truth is Mike Brown is an a*hole and he owns the team and he like this crap the way it is. So we’re stuck with it. Being a Bengals fan is masochism.

so, he would get experience, and what would be the difference?
and The offensive line was playing good today, he actully had time today and still played poorly he has 0 excuses left, T.O. played great, Benson was balling, Gresham was goood, Palmer just made 98% of the screwups on the offense.

If you were watching
then you would have to wonder on his second interception if that route was a curl or a hook; ’cause Palmer threw it before he made his break. If a curl then it was a bad pass, if a hook then it was the receivers fault. Whichever, the receiver has to come back and fight for the ball some.

A hook is straight back
if it was supposed to be a hook then it wasn’t a bad pass. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t automatically assume that because a pass is incomplete or intercepted that it is the QB’s fault.

If the receiver would have ran a hook
the pass would of hit him in the face. I don’t know what the route was supposed to be. If it was a curl then it was a bad pass and Palmer has another interception. If it was supposed to be a hook, then probable catch, 1st down. Who knows the end results?

Pick!!, Palmer blows!! Palmer Blows Deal with it Bro!! You are the only person that thinks he can hang. He actually got decent protection today and still couldnt perform. He gave them the game, without his picks we win plain and simple

Could we trade for Chad Henne? I’ve heard the Dolphins don’t like him, for some reason.
I would have said Kevin Kolb before Vick got hurt.
At this rate it’s entirely possible we’ll be picking in the top 10 next year. There really isn’t any way we CAN’T take a QB in the 1st or second round now. Even i the organization still “believes” in Carson, it’s VERY apparent he needs a quality backup and that at the very least he’s on the decline and a successor needs to be in place.

Whole offense stinks
Chad 3-20
T.O. gets done on pass interference
Palmer – not Brat, I presume – calls the INT play in the 4th
Palmer doesn’t like playing at PBS because the fans give him a dose of reality
It will be run the ball for the rest of the season, like it or not
Build around Shipley, Gresham, Scott and Bensom. That’s the future.
Lockout next year, Benson's not the future.
You MAYBE get one more year out of him after the lockout ends.
Scott, yes, but we need another workhorse running back and DEFINITELY a QB of the future. Loe Gresham, but at this point I think I’d almost rather have Dez Bryant to build around. Gresham was supposed to be the last piece in a winning formula. Now he’s sort of a luxury when we’ll need guys on the outside in the post-Chad era.
The post-Chad era has started
I’d sooner take decisions that move the franchise on.
Why keep Simpson? Drop him and activate Briscoe off Tampa’s practice squad if you want to make a point.
Benson will be pushing 31 when the 2012 season starts.
You’d be lucky to get 2 more years out of a RB with his style at that age. I’m just saying he’s not the guy for the next 5-6 years.
I’m with you on JJo and Leon, but my guess is you have to let JJo go because some SERIOUS money has to go into fixing the O-line. And the team just can’t afford Carson’s contract anymore. Even if you like the guy and think he’s just “going through a bit of a decline” you can’t devote that much money when so many other positions are lacking.
Drop Carson
Start from there.
Benson has low mileage on the clock, for his age, etc. Clearly, another back will be needed, but maybe not the first need as it stands.
Andre Smith did better than last week, maybe reason for optimism in all of this.
I’d say WR is the most immediate issue if you don’t resign the two CBs. Chad’s not been involved all season and T.O. has no long-term future.
can we just lock up mike brown and throw away the key

Colt Brennan is out there somewhere on the market...
No one named Palmer should be touching a ball at this point in the season, be it Carson or Jordan…
Maybe I'm a homer . . .
But it looks like Max Hill is the guy in AZ. Maybe make a trade for John Skelton?
Marvin is acting like we won
I hate that these coaches and players act like everthing is ok, i wish they could feel what we feel when they lose, then they might actually know what these games mean to peaople like me. Bengals are my life its the only thing in my life that I look forward too and now I just want the season to be over, how can you have hope after a game like this.

"Pickens" clause
Does it still exist?
…as it’s going to be needed after this with T.O. twittering and 85 running lose.
Shame it fell apart after 5 weeks. Thanks for the ride. The fans need the bye, not the players.
The rest of the season won't be preatty either
Look at the up coming schedule we got after the bye Atlanta, Miami, Pitt, Indy, Buffalo, Jets, New Orleans, San Diego, Cleveand, Pitt and Baltimore once more. So the way I see it we are lucky to finish 6-10 if that maybe 4-12
The best thing about the Bengals right now
Is that we have a bye week so I don’t have to watch this garbage. They make stupid mistakes and just look for ways to lose a game. Palmer is done he looks like complete garbage, and I have 0 confidence in this coaching staff.
I dont think any of you fans should give up on Carson Palmer such things happen
and the season is not over.
How many Drops did we have!!
Did we all realize how much Jordan Shipley would be missed. Caldwell is Horrible!!
Bob Bratkowski
Palmer is obviously not himself, but the play calls came from the sidelines. how does Bob Bratkowski still have a job??? Does anyone know what his salary is? lets just add that to the running tab that we started with Antonio Bryant.
Run the ball, Bratdoucheke, run the ball. Its not that hard to figure out. It’s almost like you are jealous of Zimmer and wanted to prove something. Zimmer is better than you, simple as that. A pass on third down when TB has no timeouts and Zimmers defense shut down TB all day. You are a joke and the fact you actually command a salary is robbery.
You should probably spend the bye week on monster.com
i think marvin should be fired.
going into the bye week it’s perfect timing.

Ugggh,
to keep the fans, Brown has to make a move. He cant hold everybody accountable, but at least hold SOMEONE accountable. Fire Brat now, you have a bye-week to make it work, and move on from there. The players are at fault too, but the owner cannot let a loss of this magnitude go without making some kind of statement. Seriously, just fire his ass, it will at least appease the fans.

What is so frustrating is that on paper we have so much talent. But when that “talent” plays football, it does not come together. There is no pride, no discipline, and no intelligence to the way this team plays.
and that falls right on the coaches shoulders

Unreal
Now that was bad. Every time Palmer drops back I get a bad feeling in my stomach. TO had that costly penalty. Ocho is getting double teamed, we miss his ability to make plays after the catch. A. Smith looked decent. I think he will be fine. Need our WR’s to make plays and not drops and penalties. Gresham looks every bit the top draft pick we thought he was. Caldwell is weak sauce. C Ben is sick and needs to get all the carries. I am really worried about how this will affect the team chemistry. Gotta be some guys not happy and voicing that opinion.
I guess we have to face the facts

I think the Bengals need to start to simplify things again
on Offense. Do away with beating themselves. Back to run first, play field position,and stingy defense. They have no identity (or a mishmash identity) on offense.
I also don’t understand why the Bengal defense got away from the blitz on TB’s last two possesions?
Maybe he's got the face for radio
…and who’d dial up that McDonald’s quarter pounder meal if Lap wasn’t there?
played today
played well, I thought
Better than Jerome Simpson, whose job it was to keep the discussion between TO and Chad going whilst on the sidelines. Nice that there’s no special team involvement for the special WR (No89).

was built on this season
- No head coach plan for 2011
- Clearly no QB plan for 2011
- No CBs signed for 2011
- No starting RB signed for 2011
- do you want Chad and TO for 2011? OK, so no starting WRs for 2011 either

I'm saying the franchise had no strategy beyond this season
…starting without considering the role of the head coach. If you don’t have a head coach signed, how can you be serious – as a business – about signing the talent you have – Benson, JJo, Hall, etc – which you need to have beyond 2010.
no collective bargaining agreement for 2011
therefore contracts and compensation is up in the air. a lot of teams are in similar situations with borderline expiring player contracts. Noone knows what the new rules will be.
Want to bet?
I can guess there are some teams more adaptable than other by not knowing what the new rules will be. The Bengals have already shown their hand, not that any agent didn’t know it already.
Chad got TO in for the last tilt in his career at a Superbowl and credit to him for doing so. Palmer now realises the same as the Bengals have no real interest in keeping him or his brother for 2011.
...contracts up in the air
He doesn’t have a minute left after the end of this season if you don’t want him to be around.

I agree
He is safe until you have another plan.
Go 5-11 or 6-10 and you’re in a position to draft a QB, then you need another plan. Maybe you take in a veteran and look to hand it over to the next generation.
Tampa seem to have taken their step back to take their step forward – and I’d also mention the fact that they’ve drafted at WR as well.

Season Tix
“C’mon, dad….please just keep the tickets for one more year. If they don’t make the playoffs, then I wouldn’t blame you for dumping the seats.”
These were the words from my hopeful son last Winter when I had to make the agonizing choice of whether to keep my REALLY good seats or not. Today, the Bengals showed me once and for all what they are truly about. There is no heart and almost zero discipline on this team. And what makes it especially painful is that the above statement has been true for so many years that it has become apparent that this sh** is NEVER going to change. All the talent in the world doesn’t amount to a hill of beans when you have people like Marvin LOSER and Mike CLOWN running the team. This is a 6-10 team this year, and they will continue to wallow in the abysmal depths of ineptitude. What a LOUSY, LOUSY football team. ONLY the Bengals could pull off what happened today. And it was SO expected.

as a long time season tix holder i want some answers as to why some of these coaches keep their job despite not producing….this team is way too talented to lose to teams they should beat! its really embarrassing….something needs to be done with brat asap or i really see the locker room imploding
They're not that talented really
Great talent at CB, some decent talent at WR, RB, TE
The linebackers are not all-pro, the defensive linemen are among the worst in football, as a unit; the offensive line has not one star, Carson Palmer is paid like Peyton Manning Jr but plays like Archie Manning, Sr, the linebackers don’t scare anyone.
Of course the coaches are also nobodies. Bratkowski will not get another NFL job, for example.
by occams_tiger_teeth on Oct 10, 2010 6:00 PM EDT up reply actions
This might be what worries me more.
All the talk of being talented “on paper” not only doesn’t seem to translate to the field, it doesn’t even really translate to the paper when out think about it.
Carson hasn’t been a top tier QB in almost 4 years. Benson has had ONE good season in his entire career – even Rudi Johnson had more than that, and his best were better than Ced’s 2009. The starting offensive line would have a hard time making a 53 man roster on most other teams. The starting receivers might be future HOF’ers but they’re both well into their 30’s and the rest are career backups. You basically have Gresham and SHipley on offense and MAYBE Bernard Scott. Not very terrifying “on paper.”
Then on defense it’s just a mess. Zimmer is a great coach and got an under-talented unit to step up last year, but there isn’t much behind JJo and Leon. Geathers is still getting paid for his ONE double-digit sack season 5 years ago (sound like anyone on the offense?) Odom’s contract was apparently to get a bunch of sacks in two games last year, one of which we lost. I never liked Peko’s huge extension – the guy is an average player at best and there’s a reason we constantly tried to sign free agents or draft to replace him. Rivers and Maualuga are serviceable, maybe even good, but not Pro Bowlers. And our safeties are…well they’re our safeties.
I look back at all of this and I wonder what I was supposed to have been seeing “on paper” before this season. I’m SO happy we didn’t sign Marvin to an extension. He’s goign to have a hard time even finding a coordinator job after this year. He might get a linebacker coach position and could maybe work his way back up to a DC, but NO ONE is hiring the guy to be a head coach again. Zimmer will get the promotion. It will either be a stroke of genius or another LeBeau/Frazier moment that will swallow the team up for another decade.
NCC
My intial anger was at Bratkowski.
While I would still like to see Bratkowski go, Lewis had to have either ordered a pass, or refused to overrule a pass that Bartkowski called.
So unless Brown has decreed that Lewis cannot countermand Bratkowski’s play-calling, it seems to me the buck stops with Lewis.
well i agree with you…but looking for a change right now it has to start with brat. marvin isnt going anywhere right now…i just really think they need a change right now….the guy has been there too long
I don't think Marvin is untouchable after this game
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
pretty sure anything less than Playoffs and marvin is history
I wonder if marvin even has the authority to fire Brat if he wanted to.
i think your 100% right on that…..i doubt he has the authority to fire him….brown doesnt like letting coaches go under contract. but at this point the season is on the brink and the fans are unhappy so who knows?
This is the thing
as long as the coach is under contract he will be our coach, MB doesnt like paying guys that are not working for him

This loss was not Palmers fault
Palmer was not good in this game but the INT in the end was clearly Chad’s fault. He should have caught the ball and at that field position Nugent would have had a very good chance to make the winning FG. Concerning the playcalling, I am not a Bratkowski fan but we had to pass. We were at the 50 yard line with 25 seconds to go, we had to pass.
However, I thought the refs made a huge error on their review. They probably concentrated too much on wether the receiver was inbounds so they missed that he did not have possesion of the ball. Brian Billick, the annoucer was sure the reception would be overruled.
Yea but that pick 6 was his fault

I agree
But I think a lot of that has to do with the offensive line. There is no continuity on the line. Roland is horrible and Andre Smith looks like a bust. Cook has not progressed since last season and Livings is nothing special. Only Withworth and Williams are solid performers.
Smith
I only watched closely in the second half, but he did well from what I saw.
It’s going to take time and he has a lot to learn, but if this is a run-orientated team, Smith may work out.
Palmer was not that good, but not horrible.
There was especially one play in the third quarter where Gresham was wide open on the right sideline and probably would have scored a TD, but Palmer did not see him and threw the ball away. I think that lead to Gresham later being so upset on the sideline after a later drive.
It was everybody's fault
except perhaps Nuge.

In an unrelated note, why can’t these gaffes ever happen against the Ravens?
because the Bengals can at least protect against a thief stealing the Browns away from the state of Ohio

It has more to do with MB's vendetta against that franchise
For screwing over his father about 40 years ago.
I wish I could say this is hyperbole . . . but it’s probably true,
nothing,
but since I live in the DC metro area, I am a bit sensitive to Ravens fans crowing about their franchise (and then simultaneously complaining about how the Colts were taken away from them). Hypocrisy does not sit well with me.
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius

And I completely agree with you. It’s an annoying double-standard that the older fans in this city have.

1. Palmer remains as starting QB
2. Emphasis will be as per 2009: Run – you know how it goes: run, run, pass or run, pass, run depending on the yardage
3. Chad and TO will not be overly happy
4. Andre Smith starts at RT – the salary justifies it
5. Ndukwe and Crocker as starting safeties – Roy has too many injuries and can’t be trusted
6. Clean up a little bit on penalties … especially no huddle false start penalties at home
In all of that, beat Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo at home – and maybe Miami as well – to finish 6-10 (that includes going 5-5 in all of this mess).
I need to lie down. Bengals 6-10. OK?
FUCK Chad, TO, and Andre
let the former retire and the latter earn his spot on this team
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
NAW...
6 an 10 is just out of the question without a serious overhaul. Won; beat Steelers or Browns – No chance
ATL, MIA, NO, JETS, Steelers(twice), SD, BAL, and Browns – All looking like losses!!
Maybe their tossing the season to get Terell Pryor!!!
I can see Terell Pryor
as a reciever, drafted in the 4th round. Not a QB. Please don’tput that evil on us.
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
It doesn't matter
6-10 is probably a really good best case scenario at this point.
I would not be shocked if they only win one more game. This is a team with a long history of implosions, and they’ve collected a bunch of volatile guys in the locker room (have Twitter, will Tweet)
Anyway the whole thing is a pointless exercise in futility. Good draft picks don’t matter if you’ve got five scouts who are incompetent, and a front office that guarantees anyone good will hold out. Nobody in their right mind wants to play for Mike Brown except the guys who’s only other chance is working the counter at Chik Fil’A after they are drummed out of football

BENGALS GO 4-12 for the season
BENGALS GO 4-12 for the season im already looking forward to next years draft and chalking this one up as a disappointment i listened to marshal faulk bash carson palmer on the pre game show this morning and agree now palmer has lost his accuracy. i would say Qb first round but the rookie wouldnt last long until DENNIS ROLAND AND NATE LIVINGS is out the door. i say draft a QB and a all new offensive lineman. cut carson and jordan and we will have money to re sign j joe,leon hall, and cedric benson..

I'm DONE with this team
I puit off Golf to watch each Sunday… No more… Now I will play Golf, and look at the scores on my iPhone!! It just hurts too much to watch this much talent on one team be wasted!!!
marvin and brat should be fired tonight.
this game was start to finish one of the worst coached games i have ever witnessed. it was not just that last int. it started early and polluted most of the game. i do not blame the players. i blame coaches who have not prepared the players. a bad play here or there is on the player, but mental mistakes all game long all season long …equals bad coaching. the perpetually out of synch yet loaded offense equals bad coaching. the bad playcalling on those last two possessions came to a head in the game losing int. brat is a failure and marvin’s problem is he tolerates it.

I have to agree
Coaching is so terrible with this team, I knew at the end we would try and run out the clock and then fail, go back and check the open thread, i said about 8 times we need to step on their throat to end the game, but no out conservative play calling blows up in our face, then he wants to be aggressive at the wrong time 3rd and 13 throw a pick.

I called it before the last series started!!!!! It was inevitable! Carson Palmer has become “An accident looking for a place to happen” each time he throws!!!!
Saw it coming too
Called out EXACTLY how the game would end right after TO’s offensive PI at mid field.
After this year, it might be time to take a QB in the first round and start rebuilding. Palmer is crap.
In fairness to Palmer, recievers / Oline, Offensive coordinator are all shit as well.
What a JOKE!
Hi fans it Brandon Roy.

Baaaaaaaad game
I would be really pissed if I hadn’t already known that this team is garbage.
1. Recievers drop crazy amounts of passes and arent nearly as good as they think.
2. Palmer isnt even a top 20 QB right now
3. Bratkowski is an embarassment to offensive coordinators at all levels. Some of the worst playcalling I have ever seen. Running when he should pass…..passing when he should call run. WHY RUN IT TWICE INTO THE LINE TO MILK CLOCK ONLY TO THROW IT ON THIRD AND 13????
4. Offensive line is shaky, but by no means the reason we lost today.
5. Defense rarely gets pressure on the QB.
6. Bad coaching across the board. Marvin, Brat, etc. etc.
Hi fans it Brandon Roy.

there is actually a lot of talent on this team and many reasons to be optimistic
but only if a strong and solid coach would take control. i like marvin. i have rooted for him every year. but he has not improved on his Achilles heel. mental mistakes or breakdowns in the routine facets of the game. he has been outcoached in five straight games with the exception of the baltimore game. even there i give the win to zim.

I don't know where everyone gets the "lot of talent" line?
The starting cornerbacks are very good. TO is still good even on the downside of his career. Ced is very good. But after that who? Chad Ochocinco looks like he’s still trapped on Revis Island. Carson Palmer looks more and more like Kyle Orton these days. The offensive line doesn’t have a single all-pro type guy. They DL gets no pass rush unless they blitz or they put Atkins in. The safeties cannot cover tight ends. There’s a LOT of holes on this team. A lot of holes and they cannot afford to have 2nd and 3rd round picks like Simpson, Dunlap, and Coffman who never play a down. But that’s what they keep getting.

We agree
Andy,, we agree there’s a lot of talent, but no leadership “this year”! And unfortuntely a lot of contracts are up after this year – not to mention the unratified CBA! So in addition to a strong possibility of not having football next season, there will likely be a ton of personnel changes (losing some of the great players), up to and even the possibility of the team moving!!
In my opinion, there “WAS” a lot riding on this season… Now, it’s anybody’s guess what it will look like after it!

As much as we like to think otherwise . . .
As long as we have the Bengals in this city, they’re going to be run by the Brown family both financially and personnel-wise.
They’re our burden, our Castro family. The best we can hope for is that during one of these seasons, the law of averages catches up to our decades of futility.
Why?
If the stands were empty they would take their nearly $1 billion profit I think.
Now they might not sell to an owner who’d keep the team in Cincy. But that’s a risk worth taking. Given the only other option is decades of sucking.
by occams_tiger_teeth on Oct 10, 2010 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions
That's a rational opinion
But time after time suggests that the Browns are stubborn, stubborn people. They’ll stoically control the team despite continued failures because all they care about is control
They won’t hire a GM. They won’t fire a coach until they perform worse than their predecessors (unless it’s personal). They won’t evolve with the game. They’re content with running an NFL franchise with a 1970 mentality in 2010.
Does this make the '00s another lost decade?
We had better records, but we were “rebuilding” the whole time…

The Bengals find new and exciting ways to lose to bad teams
I actually think Tampa Bay, a good team (3-1), found a way to beat a bad team, Cincinnati (2-3).
"I'm from Maryland, and no one can beat me!"
More accurately: Tampa Bay
a mediocre team (3-1), played a game of back-and-forth yackety sacks with a sorry-ass excuse for a franchise (2-3)
Neither team really deserved to win but they couldn’t like the poor fans in the stadium forever.

nice
But if you’re Cincy, and you haven’t made much of a concerted effort to sign Marvin Lewis to be your coach next year, it’s time to start thinking about a future QB. Because whoever is coaching the Bengals next season may not want their future hinging on a 31-year-old Carson Palmer, a 37-year old TO and a 33-year-old Chad Ochocinco, who’s had no chemistry with Palmer all season.
In Zim We Trust......Collaros for Heisman...An Avid Reader of Cincyjungle.com
Yes i agree
Palmer needs to go. He is to worried about protecting himself so he can play golf in the off season. He could have run for a first down today but opted to throw the ball away.
In Zim We Trust......Collaros for Heisman...An Avid Reader of Cincyjungle.com
Really? I think that's an inflammatory comment.
Given his medical history, it’s perfectly explainable as to why he’s so timid. It has nothing to do with offseason golf as much as it is prolonging his career.
but given Palmers attitude after and during games
I have to agree, it just seems like there are other things he would rather be doing. Palmer is Timid, he will never be anywhere near what he was before the injuries ever!! We know this now, so we need to be scouting Young QB’s in the draft or look at making a trade or signing a free agent this offseason. I never would think MB would trade or cut Palmer but after today I wont be shocked

I think it's poor form questioning his desire to play football.
Since he’s come back from his second injury, his biggest problem has been his accuracy when he’s under pressure. His throws have been high and, increasingly, defenses have come to recognize that. He’s never given any indication that he doesn’t want to play football or that it’s secondary to any other activity. I think when you begin assigning motive for his actions, you detract from the problems facing this team.
Either he can do the job or he can’t. We’re not in the huddle so we can’t determine the exact causes of his mental errors.
I dont think it's poor I mean did you watch the game

each interception
was preceded by a penalty on the offense, on the play before… not an excuse for Palmer, but good teams do not continually put themselves in those situations…
Really?!?
Enough with the hysterics over Palmer’s play. The Bengals cannot average 8.5 penalties for 67.25 yards in the last four games and expect to be any better than they are. This team is undisciplined and poorly coached. The offense has killed more drives with late penalties than I would care to rehash. A reasonable person cannot expect the quarterback to bail his team out time and time again when the offensive line turns a third and four into a third and 14 with a holding call or third and nine with a false start. Few quarterbacks in this league could help this offense right now. And, if you believe, Palmer is the biggest problem the Bengals have – well, you’re an idiot.
okay so he's not the BIGGEST problem
well, honestly, the biggest problem is that is the owner is Satan, but Palmer’s not exactly helping lately, you know.

Well, I don't think Carson played well today. But I don't think he was bad.
Very questionable to be throwing the ball on 3rd and 15 or whatever that was. Very bad play by TO on that play. Catchable ball. The play by Ocho on the last interception was even worse.
FWIW, seemed like Carson was calling a lot of plays, and did a good job of recognizing the D and getting Benson easy yardage. But passing wise, he was off. TB did play well, but not well enough to win.
Still though, took a confluence of #$%#$ to force the loss just like last week. Weak PI call on Owens. Weak completed pass call for TB on that last drive.
Very frustrating.

Plus you have to remember one thing. Anything can happen on any given Sunday.
Now all the fans that say they give up on the Bengals and pretty much petition them, well then you are not true fans of the Bengals at all. If you’re like me you will always root for the Bengals no matter what. Now that is a true fan.
8-3??
Sure, anything can happen any given Sunday. Like what happened with the browns and bucs. It definitely means we can lose them all too and go 2-14. Everyone’s just frustrated at how the Bengals are playing given their talent.

True fan?
I have stuck with this team through thick and thin for nearly 30 years. Cincinnati is my hometown and nothing will ever change that. I moved away several years ago and I still wear my colors loud and proud. I have worn black and orange in heart of Titans country and scarlet and gray in the heart on SEC country. I am SICK of losing and I am tired of my hometown sports teams being considered the laughing stock of professional sports. It is easy to be a fan when you are around nothing but people who support your team, but when you are alone and hear nothing but constant ridicule it makes you see things in a different light. I, like the rest of us, have seen 5 winning seasons in 30 years. I’m sorry but that is not good enough. If we continue to accept that then that is what we will continue to get.
There is a huge difference between the Indianapolis Colts, who have won more games in the past decade than we have won in twenty years. When you win on a consistent basis people tend to expect it of you and it produces a winning culture, on the other hand, when you lose on a consistent basis that is what people expect of you also. Look at the facts! We are consistent losers, and we have done nothing but continue to prove everyone right about what they say about us, and it is freaking embarrassing. So you go ahead “true fan” and keep putting up with it and we will continue to lose for another 20 years.
