Week 2: The Cincinnati Bengals defense DID A BAD JOB

Last night, if you had told us that Carson Palmer would throw for four touchdowns we would have been completely confident of a Cincinnati win against the Browns. If you'd told us that Carson Palmer would throw for six touchdowns, we would have bet a considerable sum on the Bengals.

There's no way you lose when your quarterback throws six touchdowns, unless you're playing Kliff Kingsbury with a double T emblazoned on his jet black helmet.

So, we look at the Cincinnati vs. Cleveland game and see Carson Palmer having the best Sunday since he woke up next to five co-eds after winning the Rose Bowl, Who's Your Momma running all over the Cleveland secondary. Ocho Cinco is catching so many touchdowns that he's going to have to hire a new choreographer, he's running out of celebrations already. Rudi Johnson is gaining yards by the basket full, and even Tory Holt's third cousin is scoring touchdowns.

...and the Bengals are losing. To Cleveland.

Cleveland is a team with an offense so bad there were coin flips to determine the starter in the pre-season. Charlie Frye was traded two days after starting. People who took Braylon Edwards in fantasy leagues are drinking to forget it. Lance Corporal Kellen Winslow is getting ready to mutiny.

Apparently the cure to all of that is to play the Bengals. Derek Anderson is out there looking like Dan Fouts or Warren Moon and Jamal Lewis was running his 5.5 forty for 200+ yards.

Because the Cincinnati defense did a BAD JOB...A TERRIBLE JOB

What it means to DO A BAD JOB:

1. Lose
2. Be one of the main reasons your team lost
3. General terriblelyness
