Good win for the Bengals here. I didn't get to see the game but it seems like the defense has really picked it up.

I still think it's too late to be winning now though.

At least you're finally giving them a bit of respect though.

Bengals looked really, really good. On the 4th and inches from the 50 in the third (I think it was from the 50 and I think it was in the third), I would have gone for it. It's hard to stop Carson from getting inches if he takes the snap and dives forward. Or, if he raises up, waits for it to colapse, and runs between the guard and tackle. I guess that's why I'm not a head coach in the NFL though.

Palmer said it will be real tough to make the playoffs, but they definitely still have a great chance, even if it's just as a Wild Card. I believe that they're only a half-game back in the Wild Card hunt of both Kansas City and Denver.

Kansas City has a tough schedule for the rest of the season, they play Baltimore, Jacksonville, and @San Diego. The other 2 games will be @Cleveland and @Oakland, which should be easy wins. Denver also has a tough schedule for the rest of the year, playing the Seahawks, @San Diego, and the Bengals. The other two remaining games are San Fran and @Arizona.

Kansas City and Denver have a very tough schedule remaining, but do the Bengals. Still have games in Denver and in Indy, but the two home games against the Steelers and Raiders don't worry me a whole lot, even though they can't be taken too lightly.
