membengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Burr, who gives a s**t? They will play bad teams and good teams, but the Bengals, with Palmer, are an elite team. Period.And Palmer is back. Way way back.And, off the top of my head, Saints are bad, and Browns are bad, so that's three games against less than good teams. Raiders will be the suck, so 4 games against bad teams. Quote

membengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Neither am I, burr, but if you think this was just another plain ol' pre-season game tonight, you are insane. Palmer's return, and return in that fashion, is ginormous, make no mistake.All of the buzzing about the "knee being in his head" (a big f**k you to Peter King) is gone now. Now, just down to working at making the playoffs, a realistic goal with Palmer back and under center. Quote
Kazkal Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 f**k YEAH!!!!f**k ALL YOU TROLL f**kers!!!!WE'RE BACK!!!!!Sorry, had to get that out.Now back to even-handed analysis.Say! The whole team looks damn good!was Odell dressed? couldent tell Quote

Carson's successful return, in my opinion, is the difference between making the playoffs and making the Super Bowl. But that's still a long way down the road. Quote
membengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 burr, where the hell has anybody said it isn't?What's with this strawman you are setting up? Quote
UK Bengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 jeez guys give it a rest this is suposed to be a happy day smile and be merry Quote
aaronburr Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 burr, where the hell has anybody said it isn't?What's with this strawman you are setting up?Strawman? Jesus Christ. Somebody says they're booking a flight to the Super Bowl, and I suggested it might be a little early. If it's going to ruffle your feathers, forget I even mentioned it. Quote
Tasher Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 SSSSMOOOOKKKIN!SMOKE 'EM IF YA GOT EM!OH YEAH!By the way, when do we play a GOOD defense? Not till what, week 6, 7? Quote
Kazkal Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 So back to the bengals? did odell dress up? or was i seeing things Quote
membengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Odell is dressed, he's just not playing yet. Quote
duus Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 So, I'm sitting here in Pissburgh watching this beautiful game on my big screen. Half-time occurs, and the scoreboard shows 34-7. I walk outside on my front porch to catch some fresh air and notice that there is an unusual chill in the air. Yeah, it's gettin' a bit cold around here ... folks are gettin' the chills. Ha ... I would be too if I just watched this Orange-N-Black team look so, so superior than the Black-N-Urine.Man, am I looking forward to this season. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 DeDe returns kick off - hmm. Hopefully he does well again. Quote
schweinhart Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Our boy is wicked good. There's no stopping this team with Palmer running the show. No rust whatsoever and all balls to go out and do what he did.The defense looks vastly better this week and it ain't like the mighty Bills have got much more to work with than the Pack. They've just tightened it up. Good to see Greg Brooks finally get on the field and make a play. I'd like to see more of him and less Keiwan. Dex Jack dealt real well with Bubba Franks, which is a good sign considering the TEs the Bengals face this year not only in the North but in the West too. Quote
Kazkal Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 K he was dressed wonder if he'll play Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 I wouldn't get too excited about this defense yet - they do have potential - and it's hard to judge without Deltha and Simmons playing. TJ left the game with a bruise heel - fyi. Quote
rishipatel Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 OK, so I just caught up with the Live action on my Tivo, and I gotta say I'm psyched about the way our first stringers look! Great game by Palmer!! Can't wait for the season to start. Once concern though is our nickel corner. Keiwan has just played awful tonight. It seems like every time the packers get a big pass it's on Keiwan's coverage. I hope Greg Brooks or JJ have an opportunity to shine, because I can't say I'm sold on Keiwan's ability. Back to the positive. Overall the D looks great, even if it is against the Packers. WHO-DEY!!!!! Quote
Kazkal Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 I'm just excited about peko did sam adams play much? i noticed peko was in on qrt 1 Quote
rishipatel Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 I'm just excited about peko did sam adams play much? i noticed peko was in on qrt 1I saw Sam in on the first couple plays, but then it was Peko after that. Quote
schweinhart Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 I wouldn't get too excited about this defense yet - they do have potential - and it's hard to judge without Deltha and Simmons playing.True no ONeal or B-Simms but all the more reason to get excited about D. The depth is shoring up finally. This D looks like it will be much better than last year's not just for the obvious in Madieu's return or the free agents in Big Sam and Dex Jack but from a depth perspective it's looking very promising. Still like to see more pass rush. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 I've seen enough of Watson, 2 drops tonight and no yards - get DeDe in there Quote
rishipatel Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Watson isn't making a great case for himself. He's dropped 2 passes that were right in his hands with no one around. Can't do that...I don't care how well you block or pick up the blitz. Hope DeDe has a chance today. Quote
Tasher Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 I'd just like to point out that we scored on EVERY possession in the first half!Whoo Ahhhh! Quote
Kazkal Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 Dede Dede Dede and quincy quincy quincy Quote
membengal Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Adams played a lot in the first half. Drew a holding penalty early, blew up one run, generally made himself a presence in the middle. Quote
