Why wouldn't the secondary be better?

Well, except for the second half. Good lord, that turned in a hurry...

No doubt. While I'd love to see the Bengals crank up the aggression I think the key to it all is the pass rush, not the Bengal's fondness for zone coverage. In fact, I think most fans screaming for man-to-man coverage would be amazed at how quickly a top offense would slap 35 points on the scoreboard.

And before anyone reminds me that we were watching the Colts, I'll counter by opining that while an elite team is capable of doing that type of damage in a half....most competent offenses could manage it in 60 minutes.

Last, the Colts were this close >< to taking complete control of that game in the first half as they were carving up the Saints secondary and marching towards a second TD when Wayne coughed up the ball and surrendered the only TD the Saints would score all night. In short, that game wasn't as close as the 41-10 score would imply.
