I guess I could make some remarks about this game. Cincinnati looked horrible. I think it's one of the worst games I have seen them play in the Marvin Lewis era. Their biggest problem is that they have an offensive line that simply does not give Palmer enough time to get the ball to his receivers. When the QB don't have time to make plays, then how can you expect them to be a high powered offense. The thing I noticed is that since Braham (center) went down, Carson has not had time to throw.
Their defense is a whole story in itself. Personally, I feel that it is time to bench Tory James. He just acts way too timid, and is slower than molasses. His age is catching up with him, and I feel he needs to be benched and let the younger, faster players like Joseph get a chance to shine.
Their D-line has shown signs of greatness this year by getting to the QB on a consistant basis. The Patriots O-line just wore the Bengals defensive front out. They put no pressure on Brady at all and we all know that any QB in the NFL that has no pressure on them will eat you alive (exception to any Raiders QB).
The Bengals are now into their usual 3rd string players seems like. Some of these guys I had never heard of until this year. With the suspension of Thurman, and the injuries to Pollack, their linebacking core is young and in-experienced with the exception of Simmons.
For some of you guys to say that the Patriots are down this year obviously know nothing about football. They are 3-1 and seem to be dominating their division this year. As long as you have the experience they have, they will be contenders year in and year out.

Don't count out the Bengals just yet all you haters, experts and many people didn't think Cincinnati would even be 3-1 at the bye but they have proved people wrong. Look for Cincinnati to go on at least a 3 game win streak after this bye.

That was bad-ass!!!! Waiting for alfus, Playboy, Mrc, and a few others to respond........
