Pittsburgh Steelers

By TarZander Chris Henry back in stripes - and not prison stripes, at that?  According to ESPN, the Bengals will sign Henry tomorrow morning.  Henry is suspended for the first four games of the season but, due to the latest spate of charges being dropped, he will be eligible to play in 2008. 

By Kirkendall The Ravens signed former Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl full back, Lorenzo Neal (only Bengals player in the Pro Bowl in 2002). The deal is one-year that pays a base salary of $830,000 -- that's $120,000 less than what the Bengals are paying overweight and PUP-member, Jeremi Johnson this seas...

By Kirkendall MVN says the Bengals will finish 6-10 because of their defense. One of the biggest question marks going into this season is the Steelers offensive line. BTSC points out that they looked solid in their 16-10 win Friday night over in-state rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.

By Kirkendall In terms of the Bengals, Carson Palmer ranked 8th. "After Brady and Manning he's the third-best quarterback. The Bengals need to run it a little better to take the heat off him." That last sentence defines accuracy. Ultimately, it's impossible to make a list like this because only one thing is...

By TarZander I won't dwell on the debacle that was the Bengals-Steelers game on Sunday.  I see it like this - a few plays here and there and the Bengals win that game.  Alas, however, it is the Bengals' inability to make plays this year that has doomed this team to underachieving and mediocrity.

By Kirkendall I know. I know. Monday Night Football is typically awful. There's been 13 Monday Night Football games this season -- seven were decided by 14 points. And it gets worse. We have New England and Baltimore next week (yay!). New Orleans at Atlanta after that (yay!).

By Kirkendall AFC Other nominees for AFC Offensive Player of Week 9 were: Indianapolis running back JOSEPH ADDAI, who gained 112 rushing yards on 26 carries and posted five receptions for 114 yards with one touchdown. Cleveland quarterback DEREK ANDERSON, who completed 29 of 48 passes (60.4 percent) f...

By Kirkendall My point was about winning. Palmer does a great job quarterbacking this team. He puts the offense in position to score. My content is that he hasn't become that player to strap his team onto his back winning football games. How many games were lost on last-drive interceptions?

By Kirkendall The Bengals offense would get the ball three times in the second-half going three-and-out, touchdown (17 plays, 88 yards) and Kenny Watson fumble. Not so 100 yards rushing. The Bengals rushing offense recorded 91 yards rushing. This is the fifth game this season that the Bengals failed to r...

By Kirkendall Ed Bouchette said of the Steelers loss to the Broncos. The Steelers did more than lose Sunday night in Denver. They might have shown future opponents the way. Steelers-Bengals a nasty rivalry [DDN] Come Sunday - Bengals vs. Steelers [BengalsZone]

By Kirkendall Before Monday Night, Chad Johnson led the NFL with most receiving yards. His Monday Night counterpart took the Bengals defense to task with Johnson's monumental struggle. Now, Chad is 10 yards behind Randy Moss but 107 yards ahead of second place. Chad blows away his competition with 11 pla...

By Kirkendall FINAL UPDATE (5:35) Raiders/Lions QB: Through the first half, quarterbacks in the Lions/Raiders game are a combined 31/41 for 304 yards and a touchdown. Jon Kitna: 16/21, 164 yards, TD, INT. Josh McCown: 15/20, 140 yards. Good game by Big Ben: The Miami University grad led the Steelers to a c...
