ChicagoBengal Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Wow. Well, at least we know Fitz can outrun Shaun Rogers' tubby ass. If we win, all of the reactionary wankers will demand Fitz retain the starting gig. Makes me nauseous thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyInDC Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Slight update... [quote]Palmer out; Fitz in September 28, 2008 Updated: 11:40 a.m. Carson Palmer (elbow) is out and instead is the No. 3 quarterback while backup Ryan Fitzpatrick is in for the Bengals in a game against the Browns that had been all about Cleveland's backup quarterback during the week. Usually the three quarterbacks come out together for warmups, but Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium Fitzpatrick emerged only with No. 3 quarterback Jordan Palmer. His brother surfaced on Friday's injury report with a sore elbow, didn't practice, and was listed as questionable. Carson Palmer, who practiced Wednesday and Thursday, said Friday with the day of rest he would be "ready to roll." But his streak of 51 straight starts is over and Fitzpatrick is about ready to make his fourth NFL start and first since his rookie year of 2005. Another key offensive player is out with third-down back Kenny Watson (hamstring) inactive. Out for the second straight week is cornerback Johnathan Joseph (ankle).[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorChanginClique Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 We don't have that many injuries, but the ones we do have are key players like Palmer, Chad, Joseph, Utecht, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actium Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 grrrrr!!!!!! Although I just saw this at PFT! [quote]PALMER WILL BE THE NO. 3 QUARTERBACK Posted by Mike Florio on September 28, 2008, 11:33 a.m. Added to the injury list on Sunday with a sore elbow and described as “questionable†for Sunday’s game, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer will he the team’s No. 3 quarterback against the Browns, according to Adam Schefter of NFLN. As the No. 3 quarterback, Palmer can enter the game in the fourth quarter without consequence to the team. If he plays prior to the fourth quarter, none of the other quarterbacks may return. The starter will be Ryan Fitzpatrick.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Schefter just reported that Carson had an MRI that showed NO structural damage. So at least we have that going for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGreen Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 This is where it pays off to have a solid #2. Even if Fitz kicks ass, there will still be no controversy from me. I'm just glad we have 2 good QBs with the way the OLine has done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Maybe he plays "lights out" and someone makes us a crazy offer for him. On second thought who am I kidding? Oh well. At least he can scramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBengal Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sore elbow??? WTF?? I'm calling bullshit!! I'm betting he re-broke the nose AGAIN last week and the doctors are holding hiom out, but they are just calling it a sore elbow. Fucking o-line. Levi needs his ass kicked again....

Jrod Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 :cripes: After seeing Palmer and the offense start to get it together last week, it's almost typical for this to happen to us. Hopefully Fitz can manage the game without fucking up and the defense can play good enough to get us the win. The thoughts of possibly losing this one makes me want to puke... Go Bengals... I guess.

ColorChanginClique Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think if Carson was healthy we'd win by a couple TDs With Fitz we'll probably win but it'll be closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorChanginClique Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Carson would have made that throw..... We lead the league in 3 and outs..........yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalSIS Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 No one that I can remember wanted Fitz to start. I don't even think anyone thinks Fitz is a better QB. Some of us just saw Palmer getting killed and wanted a different look in ONE game, for ONE series. That said, I think Fitz can still win this game if the rest of the team plays like we are capable. I still have hope for this game. And no, I do NOT think a great game by Fitz means replacing Palmer. But it gives me more confidence if Palmer is seriously injured later, and gives us trade value if we think about that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
