Bengals Going All Out for 1st Win

Here is the latest from Bungland:

Palmer to miss game against Steelers with sore passing elbow

CINCINNATI -- Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer will miss another game because of his sore passing elbow.

Coach Marvin Lewis said Monday that Ryan Fitzpatrick will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, giving Palmer another week to rest his right elbow. It'll be the third game Palmer has missed this season because of the injury.

Palmer sat out a 26-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday, then stayed in New York to be examined by Dr. David Altchek, who works with the New York Mets. Palmer was hoping that the second opinion he got from Altchek would be more encouraging and allow him to get back on the field.

The news came out today and it's clear with every passing day that the Bungles believe the only hope they have of winning is pity from the Gods/NFL fans. Already, they've gone 0-6 and now they will play without Palmer.

Don't be surprised if next we hear that Chad 85 plans a TD celebration involving a terminally ill child, or that they are bringing Tim Krumrie and his broken leg back to commemorate their Super Bowl XXIII team.

And it just might work. They will win eventually, right? 0-6 never seemed so scary. Karma is on the Bungles side here.

Or maybe I'm just suffering from not seeing the Steelers this week. If I had watched them win, I'd be much more confident.
