Graham good from 37

It's still a one-score game, though the Bengals have extended their lead to 13-7 with a 37-yard field goal by Shayne Graham. The Bengals drove 48 yards in 15 plays, eating 9:25 in clock.

Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has eight receptions for 52 yards, upping his NFL-leading total to 96. He is four from tying Carl Pickens' single-season franchise record of 100 receptions in 1996.

There is 4:35 left in the third quarter,

Carson palmer is had his due. He cried in the off season about players an there problems. But here we are in a new season an I watched the team this year. An I have to say, he is at the point where it is time to make a change at his position. Why in the world has there Off. take such a dive?? Its not play calling or even injuries. Its the QB makeing bad play " READS " they should have really man handled the rams today. I am no where near a Cin fan, but I am a fan of good football. An I am so fed up with the media takeing there anger out of everyone else but the QB!!! Its time to set a lil fire under the QB!!! Because thats where the problem lies.... Signed, Football Fan

Foot Ball Fan, for the love of God, PLEASE spell check your post before you send it. Reading your post honestly made my head hurt. But I do concur that Carson is having an off year.

This blog is total B.S. You should be ashamed of this blog. Mark, being a reporter you hold to the basic premises of freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Yet on numerous occasions, my comments have not been broken, not because they break the rules (shich they don't), but because they do not support the Bengals. This it typical of the liberal media in that you only portray one side of the story. The story here is only supporting the good attributes of the Bengals, who are a sub-par team and desrving of the critisism. You suck Mark, so do the Bengals.

"Foot Ball Fan" is a foot ball idiot. Carson is having a sub par year, but that does not mean you make a change and put someone else in. He'll get through it and be back to normal next year, hopefully.

anonymous @7:04 what the hell does a sports blog have to do with the "liberal media"? You need to get off your medications because they are causing you to have paranoid delusions.

I don't think you suck, Mark. As a fellow journalist, I truely respect what you do and your background, but I would like it if the Cincy media wasn't so meek when it comes to reporting the Bengals. I'm not saying you all should be like the Eagles or Giants media, who asks for the head of a player after a dismal outing, but I think we're a little too kind to this team. We the fans deserve much, much more.
