Well, the Bengals are out of the playoffs this season. Yesterday they fell to North Division rivals Pittsburg Steelers in the Wildcard Matchup as starting quarterback Carson Palmer fell from a torn ACL on only his second play of the game after a bad hit to the knee by a Steelers player. This brought in second string QB Kitna who rallied well during the first half, but seemed gun-shy after half-time. The Steelers would've had a better run for their money had Palmer not been taken out, especially so early.
Am I disappointed? Yes. But I'm very proud of the Bengals for their season. They proved that they are no longer a team to be thought of lightly. And as the case always is in sports - there's always next year. WHO DEY!!
Bengals Watch - over and out.

Steelers Rock! Steelers Rock! :)
... we'll see after next weekend.
Scott -
This really sucked. I felt for all the Bengals fans. Cinci is - and has always been tied with whoever is playing the Raiders as my second-favorite team. I've spent many a chilly afternoon in Riverfront.
I loathe the Steelers. Although I don't think the hit on Palmer was intentional, it's so insulting that it came on a huge pass play and from the FRICKIN STEELERS!!! Oh, Lord forgive me for how much I hate them.
Get 'em next year...
I'm pretty positive that the hit was unintentional. It almost brought tears to my eyes.
