bengals suck?

[83-Steelers-43]

With a healthy Carson Palmer, I feel they will be a force to be reckoned with. The offseason moves they made were smart ones in my opinion. They beefed up the area where they were the weakest (run defense). I still feel we will be the better team when all is said and done, but I find it very hard to downplay or underestimate that Bengal team.

agreed...but Palmer is the x-factor...they have been spinning this hard..but I'm tellin ya...he's hurt bad...and when he gets back..he wont be close to what he was....

no Palmer?....8-8 max

I'm not up to date on how Palmer's rehabilitation is coming along and I have no medical field experience so it's hard for me to make an accurate prediction on when Palmer will be back and healthy, but If they don't have him they will be in trouble. I don't care if they have Martin or Harrington backing him up.

i dont care who is at QB.. i just wanna see johnson throw a temper tantrum again and start punching his coaches. I think that was one of the finer moments the bengals hadthis year. Poor chad not getting his way makes him a very very dull boy.

[83-Steelers-43]

That was pretty amusing. Good ol' Chad. Does his little dances, runs his big mouth, freaks out on his players and coaching staff and then gets on national television to tell everybody that everything was blown out of proportion and that nothing occured.

Starting to sound like somebody else we have all come to know and love that is currently playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

As far as rehab goes, the latest reports say that Carson is right on schedule. He threw with the team for 30 minutes thursday. He is walking normally and has now started slow jogging.

At this point it looks like he will be able to start the opener, it's just a issue of whether or not the team will declare him ready.

Cincy went from having one of the easiest schedules in 2005 to the most difficult (tied w/Giants). If they trip out of the gate then even making the playoffs may be tough.

The health of our O-line will have a greater impact on our ability to run against the Bengals - especially if Duce does more than look angsted and overpriced in a sweatsuit.

What a great place for TO to go. Worst case scenario we get to hate the Cowboys even more. Best case scenario is that he shoots that star right into the ground. I'm pulling for the latter.

Good point here and they faded badly at the end of the year.
