2010 Season Preview: Cincinnati Bengals

CANTON, OH - AUGUST 8: Terrell Owens  and Chad Ochocinco  of the Cincinnati Bengals look on against the Dallas Cowboys during the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Field at Fawcett Stadium on August 8, 2010 in Canton, Ohio. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Boy the Bengals know how to make a splash, don’t they? Teaming Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson will be entertaining if not as dynamic as they believe. But even with all of the offensive additions, the strength in Cincinnati is still the defense. Can they remain atop the AFC North or will the Ravens pass them by?

If Marvin Lewis didn’t have his hands full before, he sure does now. After reportedly inking a two-year, $2 million deal with the Bengals you can now add Terrell Owens’ name to the laundry list of reclamation projects holding court in the Queen City. The Queen City? Cincinnati has become more like Celebrity Rehab: NFL Edition.

I am a big fan of the intro section because it gives me time to warm my readers up for the meat of the column, maybe drop a joke or two or simply grease the wheels before just throwing stuff out there. But I’ve had a long week, so no intro for you. Sometimes the intro is the best part of my posts, so I know there are some of you craving more, and I will gladly satisfy that request a little later as I am also preparing a post about my boy Jay Cutler (he’s awesome). So, without further adieu, here are the games of the week and my upset pick.

8 Man Front for Week 4

Eli has been unfazed all year as he has led the Giants to an undefeated record.

This posting comes a little bit later than normal and I would like to apologize to all of my loyal readers. I have been a little busy working on a top secret project for a major provider of football information. But, I am now back to our beloved site here and I am ready to riff on all of the goings on in yesterdays games. So without further adieu here are the 8 things that I saw yesterday that I think everyone should recognize as well.

The Whole 9 Yards For Week 4

What has Derek Anderson gotten himself into?

The first quarter of the season will end for most teams after this weekend’s games. A lot of teams like to look at the season, like the game itself, in four quarters. After the first quarter they gauge where they are at and then adjust moving forward. After this weekend’s games, a lot of teams will have a better measure of where they stand and what they’ll have to do to improve going into the second month of the season.

After one week of play, many questions still remain about every team in the NFL. It’s extremely tough to determine anything after just one game, and teams should not panic or feel too good about themselves after Week 1. But after two weeks things become a little clearer. So with a lot of intriguing matchups this weekend, let’s examine the key questions going into the second week of the NFL season.
