…which would mean the Cardinals (and Ravens) are massively hosed today.

Bengals fall in their re-match. Eagles get thumped in their re-match. Phil Sheridan in the Philly Inquirer not feeling Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb this morning. In Cincinnati, Paul Dagherty in the Enquirer jumping fast into the growing Carson Palmer ain’t all that bus.

As for me? Eh. I’ve said repeatedly that the Bengals’ year far out-stripped any reasonable expectations I had. I would have dearly loved for them to find a way to win yesterday to stop that stupid have-not-won-a-playoff-game-in-19 years thing, but when you play as flatline dumb as they did against a good football team, losses happen.

As for what ails the Bengals offense, it is not Carson Palmer. Start with the offensive coordinator and a receiving corp behind Chad Johnson that is decidedly not good. Both of those things are fixable. Good organizations fix such things. We shall see if the Bengals have decided to finally be a good organization.
