Sunday night game, Bengals v Lions

Watching Fitz scramble and step up away from the pressure there makes you wonder if Palmer is being too reliant on others and not trying to make enough plays with his feet. Palmer has to do a better job of buying time and they have to change some things in the passing game. The 0-line isn't magically going to get better.

Watson looking really good again, Whitworth has pulled and done a good job tonight twice tonight already

Guy-chick, Levi and Andrews seem to be weak links.

Fitzpatrick is officially dangerous running the ball, with a nice 15-yard gain on 3rd and long. He's looking very good, so far. No sign of Caldwell or Simpson so far in the game, which is surprising. Bengals attempting to score at the 2-minute warning.

Well about time. You DO NOT lose at home against Detroit. I don't care if it's pre-season or not! :angry:

TD, Holt! Fotzpatrick with a 99-yard drive and he has looked VERY, VERY impressive, showing good arm strength on the TD pass. He has great scrambling ability, too. Holt has played well with a couple of real nice catches including a sliding catch in the end zone. Williams is now out of the game, replaced by Giauchic, but played well with the 1st team OL at C.

Wasn't carson considered somewhat athletic when coming out of collage?

Two knee surgeries later after playing for the Bengals, and he seems determined to become another late career Bledsoe. Even Peyton Manning moves around more than Palmer does these days. I don't understand why Palmer's mechanics and drops are still as bad as they were last year. Some of the lack of a pocket stuff, might just be from him not dropping back far enough and the line's splits etc.., It's weird they are still doing the same things.

Marvin White is having a good game so far and is a big-time hitter. I can't remember the last Bengals safety that consistently hits like him and his tackling has been better. It just sounds different, even on TV. Blackstock showing his speed again with another nice backside tackle on a wide-open screen pass. He's been impressive. I think the LB's, with Jones, Rivers, Johnson, Blackstock, Jeanty and Brooks are the best in a while, so far..definitely the most athletic. All of them are starting caliber. At WR, Maxwell has looked good. He kind of reminds me of David Dunn, from back in the Blake days. Chatman has made some catches, but is giving them no RAC yards and appears that he's lost his starting PR position, with Deltha back there. Holt has maybe cemented himself with some nice plays from scrimmage and some good ST's plays, too. Chad, T.J., Caldwell, Simpson, Holt and Maxwell look to be what makes opening day, depending on injury, with Chatman on the outside looking in. Urrutia and Purify need to show something soon. I am excited to see them and James Johson, hopefully, in the 2nd half. I see the Bengals making a call to Henry's agent this week.
