Do We Care About Planted Fans?
Cincy Jungle — I'm curious, does the fact that Chad Ochocinco bought the tickets for the Bengals fans who greeted him during his Lambeau Leap somehow lessen the fact that he still did it?  Apparently, to folks like MJD at Shutdown Corner and Dashiell over at Deadspin, it does.  I'm guessing the fact Ocho "planted" those fans somehow takes away from his moment.  Never mind the fact that three people wouldn't be able to hold off, well, the thousands of Packers fans if they decided to reject Ocho's Leap. ...

Chris Henry's limited action in two regular season games a case of injury?

Henry took off Wednesday to rest his quad and returned to practice on Thursday in limited capacity. Geoff Hobson writes, "Henry was suited up in shoulder pads and shorts and running routes at the start of practice." However if he wasn't hurt, we're not so confident that Henry would get a bigger role. Consider that Andre Caldwell, Chad Ochocinco and Laveranues Coles stand in his way. The best shot is ...

Land of the Giants: Getting to know Aaron Rouse
Big Blue View — ... Against Cincinnati, Rouse made nine tackles but also had glaring errors on several key plays. Those included taking a bad angle on a screen pass to tight end Daniel Coates, who converted a first down on a crucial third-and-34; leaving his deep zone on a flea flicker that allowed a 44-yard pass to Chad Ochocinco; and being caught unaware when Chris Henry broke open behind him for a 5-yard touchdown pass. ...

Pregame Zone Blitz: Steelers at Bengals
Behind the Steel Curtain — ... Just a random guess...the coaching staff of the Bengals peeked at the film from the Bears victory over the Steelers last week. In that, they're going to see a few mismatch opportunities if they are able to spread Pittsburgh's secondary out. With a group of talented receivers, lead by the moronic Chad Ochocinco, Cincinnati is going to try to employ as much 4-WR sets as possible, in the hopes of isolating either Ochocinco or WR Chris Henry on one of Pittsburgh's smaller safeties. ...

It's always about the fourth quarter; the Bengals showed us something

This is when Carson Palmer showed up at the front door presenting gifts to the football gods. The football gods, smiling like football gods smile, repaid in kind. The Bengals ran mostly shotgun formations in five of the next six plays (one of which was a defensive pass interference), completing passes to Andre Caldwell (14 yards) and Chad Ochocinco (14 yards). After rushing the ball for eight yards, ...

Bengals come from behind in dramatic fashion to beat Pittsburgh at home
Cincy Jungle — ... Teams aren't supposed to come from behind against the Steelers to win football games on the final drive.  Apparently that memo got by one Carson Palmer.  He was cold, calculating and clinical in a near-perfect performance with the game on the line and the same old song playing in your speakers.  James Walker wrote about Chad Ochocinco's telling of a story after the game.  You see, before the first snap of that 71-yard game winning drive, in the huddle, Carson Palmer made a statement.  He said "we're going for two after we ...

After back-to-back rushes by Bernard Scott for 27 yards, Palmer completes a 27-yard pass over the middle to J.P. Foschi, who was completely forgotten about by the Browns defense.

It's Carson Palmer Time!
Cincy Jungle — ... What needs to be done? The Bengals need a fresh mind running the offense. Bratkowski is stifling this team with conservative and often predictable play calling. How about a first down play action fake? How about using the threat of Benson for a few big yard plays to Chris Henry and Chad Ochocinco down the field. Maybe some screens to slow down the pass rush and give Palmer a little more time in the pocket? Palmer only has 20 completions over 20 yards this season, Benson could run for 1800 yards this season if Palmer could double that output. ...

That wasn't the only thing the offensive line did.  They were not only able to prevent Carson from being sacked, they gave him the necessary time to allow Palmer to pick apart a pass defense ranked 14th in the league coming into the game.  All Carson had to do is drop back, look over the field, take out the picnic basket, open the bottle of wine, spread the table cloth, and throw to his favorite receiver, Chad Ochocinco who finished with 10 catches for 118 yards and 2 TD's.  Not only did he hit Chad for two TD's, he spread the ball ...

Niners Nation — ... In past years the Bengals have been known on offense for their passing game, but this year it's all about the running game for Cincinnati. They currently average 127.7 rushing yards per game, which makes them 9th in the league. However, the Bengals may look to pass more often against a Baltimore defense ranked 4th against the rush. Wide receiver Chad Ochocinco could be the difference in this game. The eccentric wide out already has 573 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. I don't think Cincinnati will be able to stop the Ravens on ...

Oakland Raiders Postgame Recap: Bengals 17, Raiders 20
Silver And Black Pride — ... First Quarter: The Bengals started the game with the ball and tried to even help the Raiders out on their first drive. A couple of penalties even infuriated quarterback Carson Palmer a little bit, and the running game struggled. Unfortunately for the Raiders, the Bengals marched down the field very successfully with their passing game. In a 14-play, 78-yard touchdown drive, Palmer completed five big passes and ran it into the end zone himself. Chad Ochocinco, finishing the game with just four grabs for 67 yards, looked really good early. On the ...
