The Official Cincinnati-New England Game Thread

All right, it seems few were satisfied with Monday's performance. Now we face the defending Super Bowl champs. What should we look for?

1. Supposedly Carson Palmer is going to play the whole first half. If we can limit the freak turnovers from last week, I expect him to get 15 to 20 passes. It will be interesting to see if the drops continue, which is a sign our receivers just can't handle fast passes. That would be disconcerting.

2. T.J. Houshmandzadeh desparately needs a good performance tonight to ensure he stays on the team.

3. We now have an open poistion at punter, so keep an eye on that.

4. Skip Hicks is gone, and Kenny Watson will play but is a little banged up. Hopefully, this means Perry will get a few more carries. It was difficult to guage him last week.

5. We will also see Madieu Williams at corner, although we may play pretty vanilla defense again.

Please post your pregame thoughts and questions. I believe the game is on Channel 53 in C-Bus and Channel 19 in Cincinnati.

1. Look for Palmer to throw 12-20 passes. Look for about a 50% completion percentage, 1 int. I look for him to struggle against a good New England defense.

2. Rudi will get about 5-8 carries. He will produce, and we will see a lot of Chris Perry. The kid will produce tonight.

3. Look for our defense to struggle against the 1st and second stringers. Williams will get picked on from the beginning.

New England 23

Cincinnati 13

Our lone TD will come on a Kitna pass.

I agree with most of what you said, but I think Palmer will have a decent showing. Or at least I'm hoping. :player:

Is Warrick going to be playing tonight? I thought I heard he's going to get a little playing time, but I haven't seen anything else about it.

As usual, I'm stuck watching the Jets and the Dolts out here in Arizona. Why? I dunno. They're both east of the Mississippi. You would think they would at least show the Super Bowl Champs if no teams in the region are actively playing.

Oh well...Sports Bar here I come again!

COREY DILLONS return to CINCINNATI man he wasnt gone long. CARSON gets the test tonight and JOHN KITNA will show he still needs to be the starter. Man he had better stats than the super bowl winning Q.B last year, who we also will see tonight. Dont get me wrong i have nothing against C.P its just how can you not play J.K after the year he had last year. Anyway go BENGALS go... :player:

I say PATRIOTS 23

BENGALS 14

Because of the storm last week, I ended up missing most of the first game.

I did see from about mid-way through the 3rd quarter on....

I don't know about anyway else, but I got a Kick out of watching Caleb Miller.

The Kid was all over the feild, it seemed like he was in on almost every play.

Is Nate Webster still out ?

He is another guy that I been waiting to see Play.

The Bengals D looks fired up. 3 and out for New England. Terry, where are you at that you don't get Bengal TV.

Gallipolis, Oh it's about 3 hrs east of Cincinnati.

Anyone watching NFL Live? Irving just got through downing the Bengals for going with Palmer. :angry: Can't stand this guy.
