For the first time in Cincinnati Bengals franchise history, the Bengals sweep the division with a 16-7 win over the Cleveland Browns today. Carson Palmer had an unimpressive day thanks to poor protection by the offensive line, going 13 for 24 for 110 yards and a single TD to the under-rated TE J.P. Foschi. Former [...]

First-round pick Andre “Moobs” Smith is active today for the first time in his NFL career. Look for him to play in Cincinnati’s unbalanced line packages. Meanwhile, RB Cedric Benson is out for the second straight week, as is LB Keith Rivers. RB Bernard Scott earns his second career start, with recently acquired RB Larry [...]

Sucks? Hurts? Pisses you off? It’s hard to describe the most recent Bengals’ loss in one word, but it was definitely BAD. Michael Jackson BAD. Bad News Bears BAD. BAD.
The hapless Raiders converted an 80-yard drive in just over two minutes, converted a 4th and 10, scored a touchdown, and then won the game after Andre [...]

Alright, it sucks the Bengals dropped the game to the lowly Raiders, 20-17. There are some bright spots that shouldn’t be lost, however.
First, Bernard Scott is more than capable of filling Benson’s gap. 21 carries, over one hundred yards. He did his job and filled the one hole most fans were concerned about this past [...]

Out in Oakland, RB Cedric Benson looked fine in warmups but still isn’t expected to go today. C. Trent relays word that first-round pick Andre “Moobs” Smith is also warming up, so we may see his Bengals debut, as well as RB Larry Johnson’s, today. If active, Smith will likely not start, but instead come [...]

Who didn’t see that coming, eh? From the moment word broke that the Cincinnati Bengals were sniffing around RB Larry Johnson, experienced Bengals fans knew Cedric Benson’s allegedly minor hip injury wasn’t so minor after all. That isn’t to say that Benson is done or anything, but clearly it was expected he’d need some time. [...]

Recently, I’ve noticed something very strange that I haven’t seen since 2005. The Cincinnati Bengals are now ranked number four in every power ranking on the internet. ESPN. Sports Illustrated. Fox. The national media is now doing back-flips and cartwheels crowding our bandwagon.
None of that ultimately matters to me as long as the team keeps [...]

Ahead of their game against the Bengals, the Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable owner Al “Nosferatu” Davis has benched the ineffective JaMarcus Russell in favor of backup Bruce Gradkowski.
Bengals fans will remember their last encounter with Gradkowski, when DE Justin Smith’s failure to put a mattress and pillow beneath the then-Tampa Bay QB before [...]
