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 in on Cincinnati’s unbalanced line packages. As for LJ, he’s expected to get about 10 carries against the Raiders. RB Bernard Scott will get the start.

Game. Caldwell blows the KO. Raiders ball on the 17. Huge opportunity missed today. Knee jerk goats of the game: o-line, for no protection of Palmer, defense for no pressure on Gradkowski. Way to be "pros," Bengals.
That sound you hear is the Bengals CHOKING just like the Steelers in KC today. 17 all with :33 to play.
2:20, Bengals up by 7, Raiders get the ball 80 yards from the end zone with 2 TOs and the 2:00 warning.
PICK by JJ!
Double pathetic. Bengals doing all they can to give this game away. Raiders with the ball at the Cincinnati 43...
Pathetic.
Coles makes a big catch to end Q3. Still 17-10 Bengals.
Bengals lose Domato Peko per Lapham...not details yet.
...and the Bengals can only get 3. 17-10 good guys.
FUMBLE! Geathers runs in back to the 13!
Wow...Bengals have six shots inside the 10, can't get it in, give up a big sack and miss the FG. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
What a run by Scott!!!
Raiders come out strong, drive down for a FG. 14-10 Bengals.
Marvin almost gives the Raiders 3 at the end. 14-7 Bengals at the half. Cincy needs to pull it head out of its butt. D is giving Gradkowski way too much time, O has gone back to shooting itself in the foot too often. Injury to Whit hurts, but Collins showed he could play LT last season.
Sumbich...Whitworth goes down.
Raiders shred the Bengals D...14-7 Bengals with a minute left in the half.
Another early snap by Cook...3 and out.
DHB Drops a first down pass, forces a punt. Of course yet another penalty on the Bengals on the return...
TD No. 2 for Palmer. 14-0 good guys.
...and the Raiders give it right back.
...and then Chad collects his second false start, Palmer fumbles, Oakland ball at their 27...sigh.
Speedy Q1 clocks in at about 25 "real" minutes. Bengals still on top 7-0 and driving.
D stop Raiders...back on offense.
WOW. Bengals recover, start slinging the ball, go 78 yards, get the TD and chew up nearly 10 minutes. 7-0 good guys.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ Cleveland! Way to lose, chokers!
Bengals look like crap on offense on their first drive. Two straight false starts.
HUGE upset in KC! Steelers LOSE in OT! MASSIVE opportunity for Cincinnati to pull away in the AFCN today.
Key mistakes by Joe Flacco and Ed Reed lead to an Indianapolis victory in Baltimore.
Nope on Smith. Inactive list is out & Andre is once again a no-go. Benson confirmed out. Livings goes, Mathis sits at guard; Keith Rivers out, B. Johnson in. As usual, no Simpson or Crash Dummy.

I wish I knew about this open thread, I have stuff not right for the other place I post my in-game angst. I'll be back.
