These are some of my observations after watching the game last night.

#1 Andre Smith will be a good player in this league, and is a giant improvement over Dennis Roland.

#2 Carson Palmer randomly discovered his arm again.  Palmer had that "zip" on his throws that we haven't seen in a couple of years, and he was much more accurate down the field.  Now if we can just get his intermediate throws to not be 8' high....

#3 Chad Ochocinco is a quitter and it's time to move on. I'll leave it at that.

#4 This is a completely different defense with J.Jo on the field

#5 Peko's hit on Troy almost ...almost made stomaching that loss easier

#6 When the line gives Palmer some time he looks good again (surprise surprise)

#7 It only took seeing Roland in for 1 play to see he is god awful

#8 Carson Palmer locks on to receivers (especially those named T.O)

#9 Though I don't think he has any heart.... T.O. is a beast

#10 This upcoming draft is going to make or break this team for years to come. With Chad and T.O most likely leaving our receiving core is going to be decimated and we STILL need to draft D/O linemen early.  2011 looks dicey
