After a horrible pre-season, the Bengals did the City of Cincinnati proud with a strong 4-0 start.  It is amazing the difference in attitude with team since Marvin Lewis took over the reigns.  I think the single key decision that he did was to delay start Carson Palmer as quarter back.  He got a lot of criticism over this decision but in the long run it was worthwhile from a franchise perspective.  Cincinnati has had a reputation of killing the hopes and dreams of first-rounders.

Last night, the Bengals lost valiantly against Jacksonville.  It was a decent game and some up's and down's from both teams.  However, they played very well considering the injuries that plague them.  Between TJ and most of their front offensive line sitting on the bench, they did pretty good but had some mixed luck.
