This is no longer the Dalton out of college trying to learn the NFL. He's a veteran and he's got it going now.
When the schedule came out, I looked at the Ravens, Chiefs, Seahawks, Bills, Steelers as the toughest 5 game stretch of the season. We have won 4 of those 5 already....more than I could have hoped for. The darn steelers won't go away though. I have to give them credit for winning while ben was gone. I think we get a loss in pittsburgh since ben will be back, our D has been off and on, and we are not good coming off bye weeks. But even if we go 5-5 after the bye, we will still fininsh 11-5. I hope that would be good enough to win the division.

Bengals are 4-7-1 under Marv, but they started out 1-4-1.
3-3 in the last 6.

This team isn't going any 5-5 after starting 6-0....The Bengals are a heck of a lot better than you think, and the back to back Super Bowl Seahawks will agree to that.

how scary does arizona look now? i'm calling an undefeated regular season. (pending ev1 stays healthy) there's no stopping this team, it succeeds despite the coaching ( line coaches te coaches etc....) this team is a shining example of winning despite small coaching. kc royals operate in almost exactly this same manner.

We knew we had a good O Line and we knew we had all these RB's and WR's and TE.....We knew we had Huber and Nugent which is solid....We knew Dalton had taken us to 4 play-off seasons in 4 years, and now in his 5th year he is playing like an old veteran now of 74 straight starts in regular season and play-offs. So I'm not all that surprised. ...
.....and no, Steelers are not going to light us up. Nobody has lighted up the Bengals D so far and our D will get even better going into the Super Bowl. ...I see it took little time for Steeler fans to pop up. I don't care, they aren't going to ruin the 6-0 start or the bye week, buy week as they call it. I'll just enjoy the next 2 weeks until Bengals slap down the Steelers and go 7-0...Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap are for real and add in the rest of the best D Line going in the NFL, these guys are Super Bowl Bound.
Well, I'm surpised at how you turned my saying how great and unexpected it was to be 6-0, such a completely innocuous thing to say, into a freakin' lecture. Anything can happen in an NFL season, as last season showed us, so no, I didn't expect a 6-0 start. I'm not alone in that, far from it. So lighten up, Francis, and let's just enjoy the win today and this team's good fortune to this point.

One of my teams went undefeated last year...until the final 4. :angry:
I'm just going to continue to enjoy this week to week.

It wasn't aimed at you.....but aimed at all the people that rolled on here talking Steelers, and after Bengals starting 6-0. The Steelers aren't 6-0, that's for sure....The Steelers people on here are going to find out the Bengals are no flash in the pan and are a heck of a good team as in 1988 starting 6-0.

True, but it's still a two team race. Steelers go down to their 3rd team scrub QB and still manage to find a way to win. We just have to keep the pedal to the medal, because they are going to be on our asses all the way to January.

Carson threw for 471 yards on Pitt. Andy could match that. If it turns into a shoot out I am confident that we could stay with them. Pitt lost their starting left tackle today...they don't have a lot of depth on O-line so it will be interesting to what moves they make this week.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

He threw for 421, and only put up 13 points, lol.
Rivers is throwing for 500 yards passing and only has 20 points, 60+ attempts so far. Knocking on the door.

Whatever the reasons are we have to win that game. A win over Pittsburgh makes the statement that we are for real. Hopefully Burfict will be back.

Holy fudge our offense is good. Dalton is playing like a top 3 QB in the league right now. The only thing that really has me worried is our defense.

and I think our defense will be our strength going into the Super Bowl, because our Front Four is awesome with Atkins and Dunlap and the others. We have future Pro Bowlers on that D Line, it's just early in their careers. The Super Bowl will help get them to Canton, it is their destiny. .....This team will go 5 straight play-off seasons, and the young players from 2011 on are now ready, The Super Bowl is their destiny, it will not be denied.

It's all going to be on our offenses shoulders to put up points every drive.
Will Kirkpatrick ever learn to defend against the pass????
