Cincinnati Bengals Week 1 re-cap


I let the bad loss against the Patriots marinate in my head overnight, and I am a bit calmer this morning
.
Even though D-line gave Tom Brady enough time for him to go home and shag his super model wife, there were some positives that can be taken out of this game.

Jermaine Gresham's had four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown. Does that mean we finally have a TE that can catch and block?

Chad and Carson came alive in the second half after the Bengals were down 80 points. If Chad Ochocinco plays like this every game, he will put up a career year. Ochocinco looked as fast as ever.
He ended up with 12 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown.

I'm sure Marvin is happy they signed Mike Nugent over Dave Rayner. It is nice to have a kicker who can hit from 50-plus yards, as Nugent did with his 54-yard field goal in the second quarter.
 
Wasn't there some crazy stat about Jordan Shipley, how he only dropped 5 passes since he was in diapers, anyway he looked good and catching everything thrown his way. How did he end up with that  Hail Mary pass? He's like the shortest dude in the stadium. 
 
Recently there have been lots of penalties called against the Bengals. Against the Patriots, the Bengals only had two penalties for five yards.

So everyone lets stay calm and don't hit the panic button. Stop calling for Palmer to sit and calling this Bengals team the old Bungles.
