Cincinnati Bengals on the upsurge?


Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati have started out the 2008 season with an 0-4 record. Yes, that is very disappointing to a team with a high powered offense and a pretty solid defense, even disappointing for any team in the NFL, but can there be an upside to their season? Yes.
Carson Palmer and his two go to wide receivers Chad "ocho cinco" Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh were not on the same page in the first two weeks of the season. Even though they lost to the Super Bowl champs of 07, the New York Giants the following week, the offense started to look like the Bengals of the old. But Carson Palmer was injured and missed the week four game against the Cleveland Browns. Granted, it is going to be very tough for the Bengals to beat the Dallas Cowboys this week, even if Carson Palmer does come back for it, they have a good chance to start winning games the rest of the season. They are getting another offensive weapon back in wide receiver Chris Henry, and Palmer is feeling good after rehabbing and expects to start this week.
Watch out for the Bengals to make a late season playoff race.
