Thought the Bengals were ready to compete with Baltimore and Pittsburgh... I was wrong.

Defense is a disaster. Just a complete and utter disaster. My expectations have definitely been lowered after tonight.

I think Leon will be fine he just needs to get his sea legs back.

Sometimes I'm glad I don't have cable and the gym only watches my kid until 8. That first 20 minutes had the makings of a disaster. Two things really bothered me, our corners are crap and Flacco looks like he's in control of that offense. neither bodes well. I'm also trying to figure out how AJ Green's pass was incomplete and Boldin's TD wasn't. They both look like receptions to me. Not that it matters, outclassed is outclassed.

They're going to kill Dalton.

The defense may be a middle of the road defense unless Dunlap magically fixes everything (i doubt).

The secondary is just bad.

However, until the defense just completely let this game get out of hand, i thought Dalton and the offense looked good. Especially against the Ravens D. They may be better than i thought.

Next week is the Browns. Remember 2009. Embarrassing loss to the Broncos. Go on to the playoffs. You just never know.

Thought your offense looked really solid. Up until Ed Reed did an Ed Reed thing and took it to the house, this really felt like it could have gone either way. The main problem was that in the 1st half + the first drive of the 2nd half we had to respect the Law Firm and he was doing good work running the ball. If the defense had stopped Flacco from marching down the field on our 1st drive in the 2nd half and the Bengals don't all of a sudden having to play catch-up ball with the clock a factor, it could have been a really different game. But once Pees was able to dial in and get to Dalton, it was over.

Good game folks. See ya in Week 17, when this game will feel like it happened in a different season, regardless of what direction either of our teams go in over the next 4 months.
