Bang bang play. Looks like a catch and fumble to me. Gonna be hard to have that one overturned.

That's what I saw, but I couldn't be sure.Either way, it's going to be hard to overrule what was on the field.

 

[TME]

This is pretty sick that the Steelers are struggling vs. the same Kitna that threw 2 ints last week vs. the Chiefs.

The Bengals, as a team, did not even try to win that game. Many a starter were pulled or played sparingly. Kitna is definately not Palmer, but he did not get much help last week. Thus, the performance of him and the team as a whole. He is definately a better QB than his last week's performance.

 

[Hammered Finz]

incomplete baby!!

 

[tick dog]

incomplete.. never had control

Horrible call

 

[knowledge dropper]

Safe to say the fix is on today.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Safe to say the fix is on today.

Yeah. Sure.

 

[Pat Patriot]

Thats a bad call. He caught the ball and it was knocked out. BAD CALL!!

 

[scratcher]

i think that was too close to overturn

 

[beermutts]

Hey CHad,CATCH THE BALL!!!!!!

 

[JZilla]

Looked like a football move. He is wearing a uniform.

 

[TME]

All day to throw. Kitna can operate with that kind of protection.

 

[fsufan]

if he tore his ACL can he be ready for the start of the 2006 season. QBs do not have to run alot like RBs

Maybe but they're going to want to make sure that he's fully healed so he doesn't reinjure it. They're saying multiple ligaments torn.

Yep.Downgrade Chad, severe downgrade to Housh...severe downgrade to Rudi...all for 2006.

(before you post the icon, yes, I am)

You would think the recovery time would not be as long for a passing QB like Palmer versus a RB because they rely on their arm and the RB relies on his legs. But I am no Doctor.

 

[Tecumseh]

Radio guys just said "word" is...torn ACL. Possible MCL, as well... :(

They also said avg recovery time=12mths.

 

[Keys Myaths]

incomplete.. never had control

Horrible call

Nah, looking at it again, it was correct.

 

[shredhead]

clearly incomplete. I'm surprised they overturned it though.

 

[tick dog]

blatant push on townsend....this is awful. and, no i'm not even remotely a bengals fan, just don't like to see one team getting screwed like cincy is.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Again...safe to say the fix is on.

 

[RAPTURE]

It's official - Carson Palmer has some torn ligaments in his knee. Done for the rest of the playoffs!RAPTURE

 

[BigRed]

I wouldn't know, I was watching the guy trying to catch the ball. lol @ him even considering giving the ref a hard time.

 

[shredhead]

Looked like a football move. He is wearing a uniform.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Thats a bad call. He caught the ball and it was knocked out.

BAD CALL!!

His second foot hit...part of the rule checked off...Then, he had to make a move...he turned halfway (halfway through the move), then the ball came out.

Incomplete pass. Plain and simple.

 

[beermutts]

Torn ACL for Palmer

 

[tick dog]

palmer torn acl

still need to plant to throw, tough with torn ligament

 

[toxicbees]

Palmer, Torn ACL. I doubt he'll be ready for next year.

 

[bostonfred]

palmer torn acl

HOPING he'll be ready for July.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Again...safe to say the fix is on.

Another one is blocked...I think I have about half the idiots blocked, but they keep popping up.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Torn ACL for Palmer

Wow. Devastating blow. Good thing they still have Kitna under contract who is decently good, but not a guy who will lead you to the promised land. He should be able to hold down the fort.

 

[tick dog]

they gonna overturn that one, too? got both down anyway

 

[flapgreen]

That was beautiful, Chad.

 

[shredhead]

Torn ACL for Palmer. Looks like it's gonna be Kitna len Bengals vs Denver next week.

 

[Tecumseh]

That was an obvious jail break blitz. Kitna, you gotta audible out of that...

 

[thejag]

No allegiance in this game at all. This may be one of the poorest officiated games I have seen in a long time.

 

[jwvdcw]

Thats a bad call.  He caught the ball and it was knocked out. 

BAD CALL!!

His second foot hit...part of the rule checked off...Then, he had to make a move...he turned halfway (halfway through the move), then the ball came out.

Incomplete pass. Plain and simple.

turning 1/2 way is a move, no?

 

[Keys Myaths]

Torn ACL for Palmer. Looks like it's gonna be Kitna len Bengals vs Denver next week.

Because this game is totally over, dude.

 

[Tecumseh]

Doh!

 

[scratcher]

well that sucked...

 

[jwvdcw]

Palmer has a torn ACL I think. Can somone confirm this?

 

[Hammered Finz]

I'll say it again.. for how bad the Steelers are playing, it's only a THREE point game!!!!!!! Nice going Bungles!!!!

 

[TME]

Nooooo!It is a fix. Someone placed an extra bouncy rubber ball in play.

 

[Bears_Man2]

I think Kitna's an UFA. Palmer injury = more money for him. If anyone deserves a few extra $, it's Kitna (who had a near Pro Bowl year in 2003 and didn't #####/moan when they went to Carson off the bat in 2004).Looking around the league however, I find it hard that the Bengals will get the $$ that someone will give him to start elsewhere.

turning 1/2 way is a move, no?

To me, a football move is a move, not a half move.Seems to be enforced that way every time I see it...(but, I can only specifically remember about 2 or 3 instances).

Like usual, I could be wrong, but I really don't think so here.

 

[3C's]

Nooooo!

Grease on the ball.

 

[Pat Patriot]

He caught the ball. Both feet were down. He turned up field and tucked the ball away. He was not in the process of tucking it away. The defended punched the ball out. To me, that is a football move. Bad call.

 

[BigRed]

Hey, just so you guys know, Palmer has a torn ACL.

 

[kylechoffman]

suzy colbert confirmed - torn acl - will return training camp

 

[Statorama]

Oh man, that missed FG was huge.

 

[Steelers4Life]

Kitna's performance is reminding me a lot of the way Bledsoe played in the 2001 AFCC. He looks really sharp, and you wouldn't expect him to be given that he probably didn't get a lot of reps in practice.He's avoiding the rush and hitting guys in stride.

 

[GotFingNoDukes]

I have never heard a teamate say anything except positive things about Ray Lewis as a leader.

Of course, they don't want to get shot.
