ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hell Has Frozen Over The Bengals are in the weekly rankings' top five and the champion Patriots aren't. Which means that somewhere, Lucifer is snacking on a pint of Haagen-Dazs.1. Indianapolis Colts (4-0) – If you think Indy's offense heated up Sunday, the next three games should be a lesson in nuclear fission: at San Francisco, vs. St. Louis and at Houston. Peyton Manning will triple his touchdown total by the end of October.2. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) – The Eagles have yet to miss defensive tackle Corey Simon. Rookie Mike Patterson has two sacks and is leading Philadelphia's defensive linemen in tackles.3. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) – The Monday night game in San Diego suddenly is looking like Pittsburgh's biggest test so far this season. Ben Roethlisberger could have a field day against the Chargers' average secondary.4. Cincinnati Bengals (4-0) – Dating to last season, Carson Palmer now has seven straight starts with a passer rating of 100-plus. Cincinnati showed us something we hadn't seen this season by dealing with a lot of adversity against Houston and responding in the fourth quarter.

Stripes Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like his little exerpt. The rest have been referencing "the Jaguars are next, so we'll see if the Bengals are for real..." jargon. He focuses on what needs more attention... Carson hasn't has a passer rating below 100 since the Redskins game last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson hasn't has a passer rating below 100 since the Redskins game last year!Yeah Palmer doesn't get much credit around the league for how good he is...people will wake up sooner or later. If I'm not mistaken Palmer has won something like 8 of his last 10 starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 If I'm not mistaken Palmer has won something like 8 of his last 10 starts? I believe that is correct. This year he has slaughtered the scrubs, and last year when this little run started, he beat the Ravens on the road... His only two losses in his last 10 starts have come when hosting Pittsburgh, and in Foxboro. These are both games I think he could win this season.

Kinda hard to win against the Patriots when Richard Seymour rolls up your leg and sprains your knee in the 3rd quarter, putting you out for the season.
