Weird! just WEIRD!!!!

Give Rudi the ball on a consistent basis and we win the game convincingly and control the clock. I mean, that doesn't make nearly enough sense. I wonder if Marvin got into Brat's head!

The word 'physical' has been thrown out a lot since yesterday's win. But, it is absolutely the truth. Both lines were getting more push off the line than I have seen in previous weeks. If that continues, they are going to be hard to beat.

Rudi has also been nursing a mysterious knee injury for some time now, and has looked much better the last two weeks.

The Bengals' are committed to the run and having a balanced offense. This has always been a Bengals' trademark from the earliest of days.

It's also obvious what they can do by taking their shots downfield several times a game - pass INT, big catches, TD's etc...,

Also notice how TJ made sure his defender didn't catch the underthrown ball? Kudos to TJ off pass int or not...he didn't do that on Carson's last two INT's and apparently was coached to - bravo Bengals' coaches.

Once Palmer gets into the flow of a game and gets warmed up - he's lights out.

I'd still like to see them finish more teams off when they have the chance to, versus making dumb mistakes and keeping them in the game longer than they should be. This is where the "lack of respect" comes in - for instance the Bengals should've won that game in JAX if not for their sloppiness, and it'll come back to haunt them against good teams later this year and in the post season if they don't find a way to get better.

If Pitt didn't beat the Bengals so soundly and have a 15-1 record last season, they would be getting the same sort of heat.
