The 2005 Bengals

Coles and Caldwell could not do anything even against single coverage.  And we had zero receiving threat at TE (Foschie, Coats) or RB (Benson).  So teams just bracketed Chad and shut down our passing game.

We were a run heavy team through the first 9 weeks, but with Henry in the lineup our passing game ranked 10th in tds, 13th in efficiency rating, and 18th in yards per game.  Over the final 8 games (against much weaker defenses) it dropped to 27th in tds, 21st in efficiency, and 30th in yards.  Chad was the only Bengal with more than 130 receiving yards in the second half of that season.

In the playoff loss Palmer threw for 146 yards and had a 58.3 rating.

Thanks for the info Fred.  That's an honest assessment.

Sometimes you mis-remember and let your opinion/scrutiny cloud what really happened.

I thought Palmer was throwing high inaccurate passes during the season and especially towards the end of the season.

The real problem for the lack of a pass attack was probably lack of talent besides Chad.

We certainly got Coles on the back end of his career peak.

Caldwell flashed some and made some clutch red zone catches that year but really wasn't any huge talent.

I totally forgot that was the season we lost the opener to the Broncos on deflected pass.

Ahhh memories...
