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.

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.
Key mistakes by Joe Flacco and Ed Reed lead to an Indianapolis victory in Baltimore.
HUGE upset in KC! Steelers LOSE in OT! MASSIVE opportunity for Cincinnati to pull away in the AFCN today.
Bengals look like crap on offense on their first drive. Two straight false starts.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ Cleveland! Way to lose, chokers!
WOW. Bengals recover, start slinging the ball, go 78 yards, get the TD and chew up nearly 10 minutes. 7-0 good guys.
D stop Raiders…back on offense.
Speedy Q1 clocks in at about 25 “real” minutes. Bengals still on top 7-0 and driving.
…and then Chad collects his second false start, Palmer fumbles, Oakland ball at their 27…sigh.
…and the Raiders give it right back.
TD No. 2 for Palmer. 14-0 good guys.
DHB Drops a first down pass, forces a punt. Of course yet another penalty on the Bengals on the return…
Another early snap by Cook…3 and out.
Raiders shred the Bengals D…14-7 Bengals with a minute left in the half.
Sumbich…Whitworth goes down.
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.
Raiders come out strong, drive down for a FG. 14-10 Bengals.
What a run by Scott!!!
Wow…Bengals have six shots inside the 10, can’t get it in, give up a big sack and miss the FG. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
FUMBLE! Geathers runs in back to the 13!
…and the Bengals can only get 3. 17-10 good guys.
Bengals lose Domato Peko per Lapham…not details yet.
Coles makes a big catch to end Q3. Still 17-10 Bengals.
Pathetic.
Double pathetic. Bengals doing all they can to give this game away. Raiders with the ball at the Cincinnati 43…
PICK by JJ!
2:20, Bengals up by 7, Raiders get the ball 80 yards from the end zone with 2 TOs and the 2:00 warning.
That sound you hear is the Bengals CHOKING just like the Steelers in KC today. 17 all with :33 to play.
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.
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.
