As feared, Bengals’ Pro Bowl kicker Shayne Graham won’t go today in the Meadowlands. Also out is much-maligned DT John Thornton In his place, FA pickup Orien Harris gets his first NFL start.
Active for the first time this week is 2008 third-round pick DT Pat Sims.
Carson Palmer will sit as expected. Brother Jordan will get the call if anything happens to Ryan Fitzpatrick.


NDUKWE!!! Fumble return for a TD. I suppose the D finally figured out that if it was going to win, it would have to score, too. Hat tip to Odom for the sack & FF.
Hello…special teams…anyone home…?
Does anyone on either team know how to play football? Sheesh…
Thanks, Ghiacuic.
Eric is bad. there has to be a better option.
Gotta draft a center.
Ugly Q1. Jets doing all they can to hand the Bengals a W and the Bengals just won’t take it. Killer penalties on Hall and The Pushover.
Yup, Guy-check has got to go. I apologize to our readers for disputing their vote that he was the worst guy on the o-line.
Sideshow Bob strikes again: run-run-pass-punt. Pathetic.
10-7 Jets. Bengals D is still hanging in there. Not sure why, they’re just prolonging the agony.
Here comes the O again. Cue up the circus music.
Good man, Fitz, just give that ball right back to New York. It isn’t like you were going to do anything with it anyhow…
17-7 Jets. What a joke our offense is. 19 yards in a quarter and a half.
…and, another punt. But we are up to a whole 28 yards of offense! Woo-hoo!
Defense continues to play its heart out.
Holy Crap! A FIRST DOWN!!!
Good call going for it on 4th-and-2. It isn’t like they have anything to lose at this point. 2 minute warning.
Wow. a 66-yard TD drive. Where did that come from? 17-14 Jets.
they should never punt for the rest of the year.
always go for it.
First half thoughts: Fitz recovered there at the end. He actually has slightly better numbers than Favre right now. Chad & TJ woke up too. Still can’t run the ball. Playcalling stinks. O-line stinks. Dumb penalties hurt us. D is keeping us in the game but the offense has to keep doing what it did on that last drive.
DAMNIT BRAT! QUIT RUNNING PERRY OVER THE LEFT SIDE IT. IS. NOT. WORKING!!!!!!
Our offensive line is offensive.
Pick by White gives the Bengals the ball on their own 3. Need to get some room to punt.
Well, they do, but a lame Larson punt and bad teams work puts the Jets right back on the doorstep.
Frostee makes a play. D continues to drag out the inevitable. 20-14 Jets.
And the offense continues to suck. And WTF Larson? a 36 yard punt?
About time for the D to finally run out of gas…
End of 3. Jets driving, exhausted Bengals’ D flagging.
Another pick, this time by Corey Lynch. Bengals are buried again tho, on their own 8.
Back to you, New York.
Defense crumbling now. They held on longer than I thought they would, though.
Game.
game. set. match. career.
If I was Palmer, I’d get the F out of this town.
Palmer to Minny for Chester Talyor and EJ Henderson.
