He is a former 1st round pick with a lot of NFL experience playing against 4th stringers. So much wasted talent.

He's had more of a documented history with legal issues and (alleged) substance abuse than NFL experience. Not kidding.

[theFRANCHISE]

This is a sloppy, sloppy game. I almost want to vomit from all the mistakes I've seen tonight...and I could care less about either team!

[FlaccoFlicker]

been catching up on the game got home at 10.Started from the beginning thanks to dvr,all I have to say is that Cincy's defense has some holes in it,we may be able to pass on those boys all day

He is the one that got busted with a boatload of drugs I think



AND they just mentioned Favre

[DrMoonTooth]

Cincinatti's DE converted into a LB Michael Johnson looks really good...how can a 6'7" LB cause that many problems?

[TheRavenouseD2008]

ok now with the air of TO's contract who else feels they dont expect him to last past half the season? and if he does it will take a humble person to not be all about the catches yards and what not

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Like said before, this game is the prime example of how important depth is to a team. These teams (mainly the Bengals), depth behind their first team are so mediocre close to terrible.

I caught a little of the Bengals Vs Cowboys game tonight. Although its hard to judge a team during preseason, i was expecting a little more from the Bengals. How do you think their team will fare this season? Another division sweep? I dont think so.

[Milton145]

SO let's go hit us a fragile Carson in Week 2

[PuRock]

It is eerie how much Jordan looks like Carson even though they are 4 years apart.

It's even more eerier that two brothers are playing QB for the same team in the NFL!

They do have several good depth guys on D it looks like. That Micheal Johnson is showing something out there.

[Ravens Lover]

I definetly thought they would do more on offence. I know they only played a couple drives but I thought they would come up with some sort of points

Geno Atkins, too. Looks like a good pickup for a 4th rounder.

[ZIBBY28]

I don't, I would take more of Bryant not lasting half the season. I mean Bryant is injured right now(which is why he isn't playing) but I have a feeling he is going to be nothing more than $28 million down the drain. TO will put up numbers better than him and actually I moved up TO up in my Fantasy Rankings ahead of Bryant.

So glad this game is over with, it was boring..... and I mean boring.

I agree this is one boring game

Shipley broke some ankles on a punt return. Went out on the 2 yard line.

[theFRANCHISE]

I'm drained from attempting to watch this game. I want my three hours back. I don't care if it's only preseason, I've seen much better preseason games than this.

Fortunately the Ravens game is this Thursday!

[FerrariFan87]

I found it amusing that the Bengals didn't go for two. If they made it and got the onside kick they could have had a chance to tie it. Granted, I'd probably do the same thing considering it's only the first game, but it's just interesting that they'd give it up like that.

They wanted to get as many kicks from Dave Rayner as possible.

Considering that extra point barely made it, I'd say Rayner is gone tomorrow. End of their next preseason game at the very latest.

[MagicianCamille]

Preseason is pretty lame, but being able to see the Bengals lose and the Cowboys win in one game is pretty great for me.

Only thing that beats it is when the Ravens play the Raiders.

Cowboys TE Jason Phillips suffered torn ACL in the game last night Out for the season

That sucks. That injury occurred right after Scheftler's tweet about how Phillips looks primed to become the #2 TE.

That does suck, he looked like a beast. They still have Scott Sicko though... what a name!
