It's really not hard to fully comprehend how awesome the New England Patriots are playing this year. The NFL awarded Randy Moss, the Patriots wide receiver, the AFC Offensive Player of the Month award recording 24 receptions for 316 yards receiving and five touchdowns. Tom Brady won September and October.

Onto injuries. I know this is the point in the season that more players are playing through injuries than not. But look at the Bengals injuries. Except for T.J. Houshmandzadeh, all the Bengals are dealing with lower body injuries.

I enjoy other Bengals and NFL blogs. I do -- mostly if they have good analysis. I don't care for game recaps. I see the game. And a three paragraph recap really doesn't do it for me. I want to know why, how or whatever. There are some that well written with clear-minded arguments. But there are some that make you wonder. And not so much for the post, but I went to a blog called Bengalslocker.com. The latest post -- a four-sentence piece about Palmer's roller coaster season -- wasn't what got me. There's something called a title that displays at the top of your web browser. For example, this site's title says "Cincy Jungle :: An Unofficial Cincinnati Bengals blog". Bengalslocker.com says "Cincinatti Bengals". Make your own conclusions there.

Moving on to injury and practices. Steelers fullback, Dan Kreider is lost for the season after hyper-extending his knee Monday Night.

Ahmad Brooks is now packing his bags for the season. The team put the middle linebacker on IR who's scheduled to have surgery next week. Why do they wait so long to put a guy on IR like Brooks? I don't know. But the same question was asked about Chris Perry -- whom publicly expressed frustration with the Bengals medical staff diagnosing his injury incorrectly. And some of you might remember when Peter Warrick's status was a mystery that even the Hardy Boys couldn't solve in 2004 when he played sparingly.

Lewis finds a bright spot in Brooks' near full-season absence.

Ah, Rudi. Missed ya buddy. Finally with concrete confirmation, Rudi Johnson will return to the lineup Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after practicing Wednesday. Some concern floated this week about Kenny Watson's concussion suffered from the knee of Levi Jones. He "looks" ready even though he did not practice.

This is prompting the discussion of who gets the workload. And from all appearances, the workload will be distributed between Rudi and Kenny Watson in a one-two punch. Although Marvin Lewis indicated that Rudi, Kenny and DeDe Dorsey will all get a turn.

Several notes from Hobson:

• Chris Perry still isn't working and appears to sit another week on the PUP. You have three weeks after the sixth week to determine what to do with someone on PUP -- activate him or send him to IR.
• John Thornton and Justin Smith will likely play Sunday. Ahmad Brooks, Caleb Miller and Willie Anderson are likely out.
