I don't know who's starting for the Broncos, but they'll get the win.

 

[Point Blank]

I have a feeling Cincy will come out looking really good vs Denver.

 

[Macken]

some dude ive never even heard of is starting for the donkeys..

Cincy comes out big in this one ready to prove something

 

[Justo]

Denver is starting a rookie QB drafted in like the 6th or 7th round so im gonna go with Cinci in this one

 

[Sharkweather]

Knowshon Moreno will carry the Broncos to victory.

 

[Point Blank]

I don't see Moreno doing much his first game. Didn't he get hurt recently?

 

[Bear Pand]

Kyle Orton will start, Cincy still gonna win.

When will people learn?

Cincinnati is a bag of shit lead by the most overrated quarterback in recent memory.

Denver could start their fucking punter and win.

 

[Primetime]

Broncos get pooped on. Neither is a good team though.

 

[Goober]

They already said that Bradstrater is starting the game.

Actually I may have jumped the gun, by making that thread. Neither Josh McDaniels nor anyone else in the Denver organization has stated Brandstater would start the game. It is starting to look like that was just media speculation, as the report out of Denver says Simms returned to practice today, and Orton will return Tuesday. Nothing is certain yet.

 

[Goober]

Oh ok. The only report I had seen anywhere said Bradstater but I didn't realize it wasn't from Bronco camp. I didn't even realize Orton got hurt that badly that he might not play.

He dislocated his index finger. I did that once, I could throw the ball about 5 yards until it was healed.

 

[Nukleopatra]

The only report that matters, is that Carson Palmer is going to start.

Predicted stat line for Palmer,

21- 40, 311 yards, TD, 2 INT, fumble

Cinci wins, that defense is improving and with a healthy Carson Palmer(regardless of what Nuk says) is an upgrade over Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Ryan was 4-7-1 as starter last season.
Carson was 0-4.

If Carson doesn't get hurt, who knows, Cincy might be 0-16 with Detroit.

Here is some stat lines for you to take a look at, you tell me which player you think gives you the best chance to win.

Carson Palmer
2005 - 32 TDs, 12 INTs, 3850 yards, 67% completed passes
2006 - 28 TDs, 13 INTs, 4100 yards, 63% completed passes
2007 - 26 TDs, 20 INTs, 4150 yards, 65% completed passes
2008 - Injure riddled season

Ryan Fitzpatrick
2008 - 8 TDs, 9INTs, 1,900 yards, 59% completed passes

I've done my research and I've heard you always talk about records and such and how certain quarterbacks are "losers"... look at Fitzpatrick last year, he was 4-7-1.

Palmer
2004 - 8-8
2005 - 11-5
2006 - 8-8
2007 - 7-9
2008 - 0-4(If you want to count last season)

34-34 all time record... he is not a terrible quarterback(record wise). Remember Bengals have been notorious for having a terrible defense which doesn't help any quarterback out. Fitzpatrick had a better defense than Palmer has ever had and he couldn't get anything done. The running game is usually at the bottom of the league and Palmer hasn't had a good offensive line since 2005.

I'm not saying that Carson Palmer is the best thing to ever hit the field... I'm really not. All I'm saying is Palmer is an upgrade over any QB they had last season. In my opinion, I think he is a talented QB that has the potential of carrying the Bengals, remember POTENTIAL... I'm not predicting him to do so.

 

[Raidersabc123]

21-7 Bengals

 

[Chadman]

bengals baby! ocho vs champ...lets see who will come out on top in a battle of players who many think arent the same.

Orton passes for 180-220 Yards, TD, 2 Int.

Robert Ayres/Elvis Dumerville has a sack.
