Earlier this week word broke out that Cincinnat Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco wanted to send a case of mustard to this weeks opponent in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Eventhough Ochocinco was told not to by Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis a case still found its way there, which now means the Bengals are in trouble.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazett the package arived with a signature that said the fans of Chad Ochocinco.

Even if this was a Steelers fan setting up Ochocinco the fact of the matter is that the Steelers will be motivated and ready to go Sunday.

In the end the team needs to teach Ochocinco a lesson that makes sure he never even thinks about doing something like this.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is widely known for the antics he pulls after touchdowns and gifts that he sends upcoming opponents.

This week Ochocinco went to far and head coach Marvin Lewis did the right thing by stepping in and telling Ochocinco no before he followed through.

The Bengals this Sunday take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, which means that Ochocinco was going to send some mustard as a gift to the Steelers.

When Lewis found out what Ochocinco was going to do he immediately stopped him.

That was absolutely the right thing to do as this is the Steelers and they still have a great defense that is currently ranked fifth in the league in total defense going into this week.

However, most likely it is still too late as the Steelers will most likely just use the mere idea as motivation.

In the end if the Bengals lose they can all thank Ochocinco for his sheer stupidity.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco headlines today as on a Baltimore, MD raido station he admitted he sent care packages to the Baltimore Ravens secondary and to linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs.

Simply, Ochocinco doesn’t know when to stop.

What Ochocinco did is just sheer stupidity as this is the Ravens.

The last time somone did something of the sorts Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wound up done for the year after the Ravens got word of his remarks.

The Ravens are a prideful bunch and all the stunt did is give them extra motivation in stopping the Bengals.

In the end Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and quarterback Carson Palmer need to show him where to draw the line with his antics before it really costs them.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a top of the Afc North with a 4-1 record.

Th( still has not translated to the box office as the Bengals are nowhere near selling it out.

It would be understanding if the Begals had a losing record.

However, they are looking great this year as their offense and defense is playing well.

On top of that they are coming off a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens from this past Sunday.

If this trend continues then Bengal fans need to start worrying as it is a clear sign that the city cannot or will not support its team anymore.

In the end Bengal fans better wake up, because this is after all what they been waiting for.

The Cincinnati Bengals stunned the football world as they came back from behind to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

What is amazing is the fact that the Bengals offense is 17th in the league in offense and that is without their top two tight ends who are on injured reserve and their top draft choice in left tackle Andre Smith has yet to play a down due to injury.

So, what is the key to their ressurgence?

That would be attributed to their running game as running back Cedric Benson is on pacer for his first 1,000 yards rushing season.

That means the defense is able to perform better as they are not always on the field anymore.

In the end as long as the Bengals stay healthy they have a good shot at winning the division.

The Cincinnati Bengals are embarking into the divisional part of their schedule this week against the Pittburgh Steelers.

If the Bengals are going to win they will need quarterback Carson Palmer to bring his best game.

The Cincinnati Enquirer talked with CBS analyst Phil Simms and stated that Palmer has not looked sharp in his first two starts.

The reason being that he missed preseason games and is dealing with an injury.

Palmer did improve last week as he threw for 185 yards with three touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions.

In week one Palmer threw for 247 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

In the end if the Bengals are even going to have a chance against the Steelers Palmer needs to eliminate the turnovers.

Many National Football League experts are calling the Cincinnati Bengals a horrible team after their defeat to the Denver Broncos.

The reality is that they are a much better football team than they were in week one.

The Bengals lost to the Broncos not due to the fluke play near the end of the game, but due to the fact that Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer threw and interception that killed one drive and punter Kevin Huber fumbled the football on a field goal.

Also, the Denver Broncos are still a good offensive football team as they still have a ton of weapons and a decent quarterback.

In the end it is too early to rule out the Bengals as a playoff contender with quarterback Carson Palmer playing.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is finally returning to action after suffering an injury to his throwing elbow ligament.  The question going into this year for Palmer is can he last?

Palmer elected not to have surgery as he let it rest to see if it will heal on his own.

The results of this decision will not be known until the regular season is well underway.
Palmer’s injury to his elbow ligament is the second major ligament injury to him.

In the Wild Card round of the 2005 National Football League playoffs Palmer suffered a injury to his left knee, which tests later revealed a torn anteriot cruciate and medial collateral ligaments as well as damage to cartilage and his meniscus.

One can now conclude that Palmer’s body is prone to injury after excessive wear and tear.

When Palmer is healthy he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, which is proven by his statistics.

The thing is that when Palmer starts getting up there in football years he will start missing games to injury.

In the end it is up to the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line to limit the number of hits Palmer takes so that he can stay healthy longer.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco received bad news yesterday as the National Football League stated that he can not update his twitter account during games.  However, they grossly underestimating Ochocinco.

Ochocinco earlier this week posted on his twitter account that he is going to update his account during games.

ProFootballTalk.com then reported on a email they received from NFL spokesman Greg Aiello reminded the site that players are not allowed to have hand held devices on the sideline or the field.

Thus thinking that this should stop it from ever beginning to be a problem.

The thing is that the league is underestimating Ochocinco’s ability to think up of a way to get arond the rule as he is notorius for all sorts of different touchdown dances.

There are two ideas that come to mind, but I am not going to state them.

The reason being the NFL will just get stupid an make up specific rules to ban the methods before they are even tried, so I am airing on the side of caution.

In the end even though they will ban Twitter out right the NFLPA will step in and sue the league as it is a clear violation of a person’s freedom of speech, along with not disturbing the game.

The Cincinnati Bengals passing game last year suffered tremendously as wide receiver Chad Ochocinco was distracted.  With Ochocinco’s mind not distracted the Bengals passing game is back.

Ochocinco last yearwas so distracted that he did not weight lift regularly, which was due to frustration over his repeated denied requests to be traded.

He has gotten over that and is already looking good in Organized Team Activities.

What is also helping is that wide receiver Chris Henry Has turned the corner in regards to his trouble making ways as he admitted he was sick and tired of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now, Henry is spending his nights at home with his family, which is the right thing to do.

Henry is a tremendously talented and his new attitude is showing on the field in practice.

The Bengals did suffer one setback as they lost wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh to free agency, but they addressed that right away by signing former former New York Jets wide receiver Lavernanues Cole.

Also, the Bengals have a capable tight ends in Reggie Kelly and Ben Utecht.

Kelly tied his career high receptions mark of 31, which he set in 2000 with the Atlanata Falcons.

Utecht saw his number of receptions go down from when he was on the Indianapolis Colts, but is the more talented of the two as he caught 37 passes in 2006 and 31 passes in 2007 as the back up tight end on the Colts to Dallas Clarke.

The only question that remains with the Bengals is quarterback Carson Palmer’s elbow going to be okay as he avoided Tommy John surgery to repair the injury to the ligament in his throwing arm.

If he is okay then the Bengals are going to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a tough time winning the AFC Central Division.
