I find the commentators on the Bengals vs Bills game annoying.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for tonight. I hate rooting for the Jets...but I'll make the exception.

I didn't have a good feeling going into this season, so that's probably why I'm not shocked or overreacting now...but I really do get the frustration.

im thinking they have as much a right to post as all the capt. obviouses and negative nellies.

its the "sky is falling" crowd who needs to go crawl in a hole.

time for worry...I think our defense will be fine actually its the O line that is catching up with us...neglected for a while now...time for an overhaul this year...8-8 team we are at this point...even though our schedule is relatively weak our offense is gonna struggle against those teams cause teams will send the house every other play!!!

[Steeler4life1972]

ok im sorry but im listening to steelers radio and I think the announcer is clueless...first of all yes I think the defense needs a lot of blame but he is halfway defending arians! I'm sorry but the play calling on offense is the problem with this O line. You need 3 step drop type passes with this O line cause they cant keep the blockers in check for more than 2 seconds maybe 3 max. You cant call 5-7 step type passes with that O line...im sorry it will not work and Ben will get killed back there...I think Ben has did well today withn what he has...anybody else agree??????

All things considered, I think we still have some good things to look at.

Granted, the O-line is the biggest problem, but I liked what I saw from Redman and Moore today and even the play calling was better on many run plays.

I liked what I saw from Wallace and especially from Brown.

Ben was tough as usual but he got beat up pretty bad - especially towards the end.

All in all, I saw some things that we can build on and if we can just stay healthy on the O-line so that we can develop some consistency, I think we'll be OK.
That doesn't mean that we don't need some major renovations up front, but that can't be done until the offseason, so we just have to make the best of what we have now and I think that CAN be done if we can just keep the same guys in there together long enough to jell.

P.S., if Mendy's hammy is bad enough to keep him out for a while, I don't necessarily think that would be so bad.
I like Redman better anyway and I think that the rotation of Redman / Moore seems to work better than all Mendy.

We'll see...
