There's a lot more... I just got a headache.. stay tuned to the blog... (selfless promotion)

I can add one more. Prior to the Raven game I stumbled across a talking point attempting to document how catchable Palmer's passes are. The incredible completion percentage was noted, as was the fact that Bengal receivers had been charged with the fewest dropped passes (8) in the NFL. The Colts were next with (9). Most teams fell in the mid-teens and the worst team had 26 or 27.

yep, basically Palmer is Peyton Manning.

That 4th qtr rating is no doubt due to the last 2 INT's he's thrown late in the games I believe, as well as his 98 Rating the 2nd half.

Sad how a guy with only 5-6 INt's all year long gets dinged so hard when he's thrown 23 TD passes and completed almost 70% of them.

Manning has his INT fits also, it just happens, and always will.

I think the minor dropoff could also be due to opponent adjustments but also us usually playing with a lead and running the ball a hair more.

Don't insult Carson like that.
