Bengals better?

I just read an article about the Bengals. All they mentioned was the def had to get better or we're in for a long disappointing season. They are judging it off of that first play of the philly game. The articles failed to mentioned how flat our off was. We have to get both sides of the ball up to speed and on fire. Def has to defend the run, make tackles, and guard the receivers. On Off, we have to get the ball to the receivers. they have to catch the ball and hang on to it. The off line has to protect the QB and give him some time. The running game is lloking good so far! All these injuries are killing us too. Pulled groins, sore backs, bumps and bruises, etc. Come on, these guys are professional athletes. They should be in tip top shape. I'm a soldier, and there would be no way in he!! that i'd show up to combat not able to carry my ruck and weapon. Bengals, get with the program, do you jobs and get into the playoffs. Shut up all these non believers.

I think the Bengals will be fine. The pass offense has looked bad, but with that talent and chemistry, it's only a matter of time before they get rolling, and it shouldn't take so long that we get off to ANOTHER slow start this year. The run defense has looked improved, due to Bryan Robinson and Odell Thurman, and I see no reason to belive that will falter.

The pass defense has worried me some. The entire defense is having problems with fundamentals, but I know that can't last. Let's hope it doesn't last long enough to put us in shootouts early in the year, when the offense isn't yet clicking on all cylinders.
