Another fantastic game....

By Palmer. At least he had his trademark INT for the game.

Carson had absolutely no business throwing that ball. From the play, it seemed like he was afraid to take a hit so just tossed the ball into double coverage completely missing his TE.

Overall they moved the ball well down the field, but had trouble twice punching the ball in at the goal line. 3 redzone trips in the first half, and 3 fgs. Something they're going to have to work out.

Same old Palmer...

they actually outgained the Cards by 130 yds in the first half. assuming Moore's back by week 1 and McFadden stays healthy I see Palmer having a really productive season...

we'll see though. however he does I won't be starting threads about it on a Bengals board

I have the game pass so I watched the first half. on the first scoring drive he hit DHB in the endzone on a pass that was dropped. the 1st and goal was set up on a pass he hit Rod Streater right in the hands, but there was pass interference. there was also another pass where he led McFadden too much to the sideline on what should have been another TD..

their offense looked OK

I watched the first half online. McFadden is a special player. As long as he remains healthy, their offense will be fine. But even when McFadden was pulled, they still moved the ball fine. They have a lot of weapons, health is their main concern. And if Carson can limit the boneheaded throws, they could be one of the best offenses in the league.

As far as the redzone, when you're on the 1 yard line, just punch the ball in. Drop all the zone-blocking crap moving laterally 3-4 yards before going forward.

Some people have a weird obsession. Some with Carson, others with me.

 

[bengaldoug]

He'll probably have one monster game this year......against us.....

Carson I keep forgetting his last name isn't "DraftPick"

Carson Palmer was the face of our franchise and had a very public falling out which angered fans and led them to turn on him. Is it really that surprising that fans would continue to follow his career and make posts about his failures? I'm fairly certain that if you followed the message boards for the Red Sox, they would have been full of posts about Roger Clements during the Jays days, Yankees days and steroid scandal. It's just what fans do.

Regardless, I didn't watch the game so I really have no comment on Palmer. I don't expect the Raiders will be very good this year unless they made significant improvements on defense. I figure Palmer will be somewhere else in 2 seasons and I'll continue to enjoy watching him throw pick 6s for someone else.

In this case, actually, yes. So are we going to start a new thread with every interception he throws, and that in preseason? You really consider a preseason interception a "failure"? It's an entirely different thing to assess how he's playing even 3-4 games into the season.

 

[cincygrad]

It's not like it costs money to post here -- Starting threads is free. Besides, even though the preseason means nothing, people always speculate about the season based on what they see - Not saying it's right, but it happens.

Like I said, I didn't watch the game and have no idea how he looked. I don't think the Raiders will be very good this season and I don't think Palmer has much of a future with them. And I think his tenure with the Raiders will be considered a failure -- Mostly because of what they gave up to get him.

 

[flamingrey]

That's mostly an excuse for having an obsession or just not being very bright.

 

[cincygrad]

Not everyone can be as bright as you Rey. You're the best.

If that's the case I think it'd make sense to just sticky one "Carson Palmer sucks" thread. i'm not even joking. a post for everytime he makes a bad throw in a preseason game is excessive.

LOL! Probably a good idea. The added bonus would be if he had an all-pro season the post would be extra humorous at the top of the page.
