Bengals now a superbowl candidate ??

If T.O. sucks so bad...is over the hill etc...how did the Bengals all of a sudden get boosted to the top of the AFC north?

There was a poll on nfl.com on who had a better shot of making the superbowl Bengals or Cowgirls.

Palmer stock is now also sky rocketing in fantasy football.

Its all water under the bridge now, but signing T.O. to a one year contract instantly makes a team a contender.

Superbowl candidates are trotted out by whom? The media.

What does the media love? A circus.

Cincinnati is just that. They have some decent offensive weapons, and Benson has come on strong as a decent RB, but the media will slobber all over TO and Ocho Cinco, get used to that.

I just don't think Palmer is the same QB he used to be. And just because they added TO doesn't necessarily mean they now have three good receivers. Adding him could be a bit of foreshadowing as to the situation with Antonio Bryant. He could still be having knee problems from last season? Attitude problems from last season? All that said, even with TO I don't think they're better than Baltimore. We will find out just how good they are in week 3 I guess.

I don't know about Palmer in fantasty football but it is his 2nd year without an injury (he was coming of one last year). They actually have a couple good tight ends this year and they have a lot of receivers. They have a dominant run game and were the 3rd ranked defense last year even after losing their best pash rusher to injury. Both their young talented CBs will have another year under their belt a long with a lot of their other defensive players. They went 6-0 in a tough division.

They just sputtered out at the end of the season when their offense got stagnant.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
