C’MON MAN

The Bengals shoulda, coulda, woulda won that game Sunday. We had penalty after penalty that killed us on both sides of the ball.  Carson Palmer , Cedric Benson, and the defense were unable to pull together a win.

Carson Palmer needs to become a leader and get on the guys  in the huddle that make the stupid mistakes like false starts, holding, and missed blocks.  Palmer had one of his best games in a long time. He had 40 attempts, 27 completions, 314 yards and 2 touch downs. Those are some pretty good stats too bad it wasn’t enough:(

I know Benson didn’t have his best game Sunday but the offensive line didn’t help much either.  But Benson still ran really hard and bruised up the Charger defense. He had 15 carries for 53 total yards 53 and a 3.5 yard per carry average.

The defense did great holding the Chargers running game but the Bengals let them pass to freely.  Cincinnati had two picks on one of the best quarter backs in the league – good job Jonathan Joseph and Keith Rivers.  The defense did their job until the fourth when they had to stop the Charger offense but couldn’t.

I know Chad Ochocinco planned his touch down celebration but I still am glad he did it.   The Bengals need to step up their game and win the next two to get the best position in the play-offs.  Cincinnati plays Kansas City on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
