For once, someone in the national media is giving Cincinnati some love instead of piling on the scrawny, freckle-faced kid that is our beloved Bengals. The writer is CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco and he apparently was getting free Kool-Aid refills in Georgetown. But I agree with him. If Carson Palmer is healthy, the Bengals can compete with anyone. Even with a rather pathettic offensive line and an improving defense, Palmer gave the Bengals a chance to win at New York last season and at Dallas (where the Bengals could have won if Chris Perry hadn’t held the football like a greased pig). Palmer is the key and a defensive turnaround will only help him. Now, pass the Kool-Aid Petey. Save some for everyone else.
Nate Wilkinson is a long-time Bengals fan who remembers both David Shula and David Klingler - and somehow lived to tell about it. He has covered the NFL for The York Dispatch and has earned awards from the Keystone Press Association and the Associated Press Sports Editors. He's working as a freelance journalist in the Pittsburgh area and anxiously awaiting the second-coming of the Ickey Shuffle.
