6. Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN): How times have changed? When was the last time the Bengals were a 4½-point favorite against the Dolphins, who are coming off a 10-win season and look as confused as past Bengal teams? Second-year coach Marvin Lewis is a big part of that. He's done miracles in Cincinnati. Carson Palmer doesn't look like the usual second-year, first-round draft pick Bengals quarterback. Those quarterbacks of the past were inaccurate and scared, still reeling from horrible first seasons. Lewis was wise enough to give Palmer a first-year redshirt and let him learn from the sidelines. He has already established a big-play relationship with Chad Johnson, who will flirt with 100-yard games each week. But the Bengals could be in danger in this game. For one, the defense is banged up and had troubles last week. Cornerback Deltha O'Neal missed the opener with an ankle injury and Jets quarterback Chad Pennington had his way with rookie replacement Madieu Williams. The Bengals need the leadership of linebacker Brian Simmons, who was out with a knee injury. The Dolphins have made dramatic changes since their opening loss to the Titans. A.J. Feeley is in at quarterback. Lamar Gordon gets the start at halfback. They had eight new guys in the offensive lineup at times in the opener. If they can settle down, the Dolphins could have a chance for an upset.
At least someone didn't say we were gonna get our a$$es whooped !
I wish one announcer or commentator or anyone on T.V. would actually have some balls and say we are gonna have a good year. Even a decent year. I swear, I am so sick of monkey see monkey do with this whole season. Have your own real opinion for once huh.
