Good comment on the leadership factor. Willie is gone. Nothing anyone can do about that now. Palmer needs to step up in every possible facet of his game. Gametime and at practice. He's got to be the leader. He has to play better no matter the play of the offensive line. It's apparent that for some reason the O-line went from adequate last year to completely sucking this year. Go with what you got CP. What the receivers aren't on the same page? Keep their asses after practice and keep running routes. F**k it. All we hear after losses are excuses and what wasn't perfectly in place for our star QB. If he is indeed a star QB, he needs to make some damn plays. It's pretty simple. He did it before, he can do it again. But if it's all about the O-line...then he's not quite the star QB we thought he was. Make plays. Be a leader. Take control of this offense.

Sorry I forgot to post this. After the Lions preseason game I was thinking 6-10. That's what I think this piece of s**t team will be this year. 6-10.

Let's look at it this way. The O-line is the major cause for Carson's problems, right? Agreed. Does anyone think that this line is going to get magically better? I don't. Ok, so for the sake of Palmer we need to re-tool the O-line. Ok. That's going to take at least 2 years. With Mike Brown in charge, it's going to take 3-4 years.
Basically, I can no longer be in denial. This is not the same team as 2005. Palmer is not the same either. This team is in a major lull and it's going to take AT LEAST 2-3 years to get better again, if it happens. That's my take.

If you think that Ryan Fitzpatrick gives the Bengals a better chance of winning than Carson Palmer, you are nuts! I know this is a repeat but it blows my mind that there are some people who are willing to ditch a guy after one bad game.
I don't think Palmer will be replaced unless he is hurt. I'm also not going to be jumping up and down at PBS on Sunday after the Titans defense does to Palmer what the Ravens did this last game.
I am watching this complete crap of an O-line play like s**t game after game. I'm also watching Palmer look completely inept on the field. I'm not blind and I am not in denial. Carson Palmer is a good QB, but he is not great. Palmer is the next Drew Bledsoe. Open your eyes.

I'm sorry but the truth is what it is. Carson Palmer is a good QB but nowhere near the same player he used to be. He can no longer make the throws he used to make unless he has a completely perfect pocket to pass from. I'm thinking back to when he came from behind to beat the Ravens with 3 TD's in the 4th quarter in 2004. He was making throws from ALL OVER the pocket. He simply cannot do that anymore. I do agree with the fact that Brat HAS to go and the O-line is doing NOTHING to help Palmer. BUT...Palmer has to make something more out of what he is being given. He's getting paid big money to be a big time QB.
As far as Fitzpatrick goes, right now he would give the offense the best chance to win given the state of the O-line. Don't think so? Ask yourself this. Do you think Ben Roethisberger would play better behind our O-line? If so, then why? Think about it.
Palmer>Fitzpatrick BUT behind THIS O-line, Fitz would probably give us the better chance to win.
-
I could have sworn that I remember Palmer saying something in the offseason about "changes in the coaching staff" needing to be made. Yeah, CP knows that Brat's time is done and that the playcalling is stale and figured out. Brat needed to go after last year...and unfortunately we can chalk up another losing season and another underachieving season for this offense as the window of opportunity continues to rapidly close...if it hasn't done so already. Sad.

Failure to find a suitable replacement for Rich Braham.
Allowing Eric Steinbach to leave.
Exactly. These 2 reasons above are the major reasons we went from 3-0 to start 2006 to 8-8...to 7-9 in 2007. Once Braham left with the injury in 2006 and this team was 3-0, this team has never been the same.
-
You HAVE to let Palmer sneak that ball on 4th down!!!!!!!!! It's inches Brat!!!!!! You fuggin moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
O-line needs to play better. Hopefully we can get some adjustments offensively. This is a game that is there for the taking.
Adjustments???? Ha. Did you just say adjustments?
-
This is a joke. Apathy is setting in already.
-
Maybe Zimmer can coach up the offense too. They look absolutely inept.
-
Cue the circus music. Jeezus.
-
They've got to do something to shake Flacco up. Looks way too comfortable.
-
Is that an Aaron Rodgers "not his fault" interception? At least Palmer had time to throw on that one.
-
There we go. O-line got some nice push on that run play for 10 yards. Nice.
-
You would think that Brat would make an adjustment and keep a receiver out in the flat so Palmer could dump the ball off if need be. Seems like it would be a no brainer if he continues to get pressured out of the pocket.
-
Hmmm. I definately think the defense will have a solid game. I mean, come on, Flacco is starting his first game. We all know how the Bengals dominate new QBs in their first games, Favre in 1992 comes to mind. Seriously, though. We should be able to keep the Ravens to no more than 17 points. I am concerned about the offense, however. The running game will struggle. Can the pass protection hold up for Palmer? Can TJ and CJ find their timing with CP? I hope so.
I'm hesitantly predicting....
Bengals 20
Ravens 17
-
Alexander would run for about 2 yards on 100 carries with this line. He looks really slow now.
-
Oh please give the arrest thing a break. Ill take him played all 16 games last year this team needs a true fullback its better then having a converted TE do so i hope this guy starts.
True. I'm thinking it's going to be a few weeks before he starts. I wouldn't expect him to see any playing time this weekend but who knows.
I was reading where he lost almost 100 pounds to get to his current playing weight. He runs a 4.8/40 at 260. That's pretty damn quick for a big man. At 6 feet, that's alot of pressure per square inch coming at you.

This guy is huge, Samoan, plays angry. He's got a slight arrest record too so he'll fit right in.
-
This game will probably serve as a stepping stone for the Carson Palmer bashing. Fitzpatrick has looked really good.
I will say this...Carson is obviously the better QB but if the O-line continues to look suspect, it's not crazy to think that Fitzpatrick is the more effective QB of the 2....behind a bad O-line. The man can scramble and make something out of nothing.
-
Whats up with all the Perry bashing in this thread? He has been the best looking player on offense this year
He has 30 carries for 101 yards and a TD. 3.37 YPC isn't all that impressive.
Relatively speaking, however, he actually has looked better than anyone else, with the possible exception of Utecht.
Problem is that people bash Rudi for his 3.2 YPC last year but look at Perry this preseason with numbers not much better, and say he looks "impressive"
Nobody has looked good with that O-line. How could they?
It would be damn stupid to get rid of Rudi. Mostly because you won't get anything of value in return. Keep Rudi for depth...scan the waiver wire this next week for the most experienced WR out there. Place Caldwell on the IR.
-
DE's are not the only D-Line people who have to put pressure on the QB, as long as JThorton is in there we will have no pass rush...We switch D-line people year after year but never get rid of him...If we want a decent pass rush we need to start by getting rid of him, he never occupies 2 blocker so that the DE's can get 1 on 1 in certain situations...
I know it is so simple. Get the double teams on the dts that frees up the DEs for one on ones. Pretty simple strategy, but hey John Thornton the great locker room guy has to be on the team. I agree once we get rid of old John the better the pass rush will be. Do the Bengals coaches not see this? It is basic football are they that stupid to realize this? Amazing, just amazing!
It is really sad and it's something that me and the guys that sit with me at PBS for the games have been saying since 2005...and here we are 3 years later, about to start a 4th, and JT is still here. Pathetic.

I just read on the Browns official site that they have traded their 2009 7th round draft pick for CB Travis Daniels from the Dolphins.
Apparently, this guy was at the bottom of the NFL in giving up 10.9 average yards per pass play. Nice pick up Browns! Now you only have 4 picks for next year's draft to use for other bad trades. Nice.
It seems Savage is starting to resort to some desperate tactics (I know the Bengals got Henry out of desperation, I know). The Browns potential awesome defense isn't anything without a secondary and Savage is resorting to his method of trading away picks. Not really a good idea if you're continually having a limited draft to build with. Ya think?
Dolphins trade Travis Daniels
By Edgar Thompson | Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 01:59 PM
Defensive back Travis Daniels’ up-and-down career with the Dolphins has ended.
The team announced it has traded Daniels, a fourth-round pick in 2005, to the Cleveland Brown for an undisclosed draft choice.
Daniels started 25 games during three seasons for the Dolphins, but his play dropped off significantly since his rookie season under Nick Saban, his former coach at LSU.
Daniels had 62 tackles and 13 passes defended as a rookie, but had a combined 63 tackles and six passes defended the past two seasons.
Daniels, 25, bottomed out last season, when he routinely gave up big plays and seemed to lose his confidence. Daniels allowed an average of 10.9 yards per completion in 2007, ranking among the worst in the NFL.

Cincinnati Parking
in Cincinnati Bengals
Posted
Park in Northern Kentucky. I agree. If not make sure you park up a few streets north of the stadium so you're not paying 20-30 bucks near the tailgating lots. There is usually enough parking about a 15 minute walk from the stadium that will only cost you about 5-10 bucks. If you're staying at a hotel near the city, you may want to look into getting a cab.
If you want to hang out during the weekend, go to Newport on the Levy across the river in Kentucky. If you stay in Cincinnati hang around 5th street and Fountain Square. Plenty of beer and good times in Newport. I recommend you go there.
Go with the Skyline, not the Gold Star. It's the real stuff, not the immitation.
