Dalton does have a pretty good supporting cast. WR A.J. Green, RB Cedric Benson, TE Jermaine Gresham, WR Jerome Simpson, RB Brian Leonard, RB Bernard Scott, an OL that has shown excellent protection, not to mention a top five defense to keep feeding them the ball.

Those stats are against playing only 2 teams with a winning record and that cannot be ignored. Sure they'll be good against weak competition.

The fact of the matter is tht against that competition, the Bengals have a 21st ranked passing offense and 22nd ranked rushing.

The defensive numbers are a smoke screen...they have faced only 1 offense ranked in the top 20.

The line has protected Dalton well and his quick release certainly helps.

Back the wagon up max. The Bengals played a great game against the 'Niners who are a VERY good team. Only lost by five early in the season. I will admit we should have never lost against the Broncos, but games like that happen to every team each season.

17-17 in the 3rd quarter. We're playing a top team in the entire NFL. The Bengals are for real.

We have played them as tough as your Ravens did.

66 yds and 4.51 to do it for OT. All 3 TO's left. Time to make a statement.

[papasmurfbell]

doing this way to fast. Pigsburgh did the same thing last week.

[papasmurfbell]

Pissed that shot away.

I think we proved today we are not pretenders in this division. Cincinnati played well against Pittsburgh.

The Bengals learned today, and that's a good thing for a very young team.

No doubt. You are legit. If you had won you would be leading the Div.

Well we didn't. BUT I feel the Ravens are in for a good game next week

[papasmurfbell]

Cincy will win one of the 2 games. I think that would put them in 1st place also if it is next week.

[BengalBilly]

All we need to do is split. Thats it.

[papasmurfbell]

I really think you will. Again you are watching right now how they deal with the 4-3.

I don't get the 4-3 statement. The Steelers play a 3-4.

I know we'll be good in the long run, but a week on a loss sucks ballz.

He's referring to the Ravens offense against a 4-3 defense. See Seattle game. We play like shit.

Oh. Yeah. Your Ravens did play like shit..

The Bengals did well against the Seahawks. The Ravens did well against the Steelers.

Hard division to figure out isn't it?
