Offense vs. offense

Palmer now has five touchdown passes, a career high. Chad Johnson is having a great game. TJH has two touchdowns. The offense of the Bengals is definitely churning. But can the defense get a stop -- a big stop -- it will likely need to win this game? That's basically what it's come to as we approach the fourth quarter.

41-38 Browns. Clock ticking down on the third.

FYI: Palmer is 23-for-27. The five touchdown passes tie a team record. Boomer did it twice. The Bengals are still losing.

Great catch: Lousy defense. Methinks the defensive players read a few too many kind words about themselves leading up to this game. Either that or they didn't practice defense this week. That was a zone (or at least it looked like one) on that touchdown pass. Someone missed an assignment bigtime. 48-38 Browns.

It's gymnastics!: Kellen Winslow just did a cartwheel on the field during the game as Jamal Lewis rumbled to the 23 yard line. Maybe Winslow was so happy about the Browns scoring as many points as they've scored since 1989.

Slim hope: Palmer just threw his team-record sixth touchdown pass in a drive that took a little more than two minutes. The Browns might regret settling for that field goal...if the Bengals D can do something here.
