Steeler D a pleasant surprise
#1
Thus far.
Ranked #6 in the NFL, way ahead of the bengals Ninja after pre-season predictions of them being mediocre to awful.

Very impressive, considering the only team they played with any kind of offense hung 28 on them.  Check back later on this one.

You must have missed the "thus far" in my post. And that 28 allowed by Pit was the least amount of points given up to a Pats team this year.

The Pats put 32 up against the Bills and 51 against Jags.
Chew on that for awhile.

Bills?  I mean that team is right there in the post as well.  I wonder why you ignore it?

Man you people are slow.

Yes you can say I'm comparing them to the Jags because the Steelers D was supposed to be one of the worst in the league.
The talk was  Ben and company would have to score 40 to win games.
Thus far they have been a pleasant surprise.

I don't know how else to explain this. Can anyone help?

Thus far the Bengals team has been a pleasant surprise no?

Hope that helped.

I did say check back later.  Let's see what happens after they've played at least two teams with an offense and let's see how thy handle the short fields the turnover machine puts them on.  So far, they haven't sukked.

The Bengals have not been a surprise at all.  Unless you're Peter King, that is.

Brady always owns the Bills. No matter how good they're playing.

Steelers defense has played well.. better than expected.. but actually the Bengals have too from what the experts predicted... 

also the Bengals are ranked higher in some rankings over the Steelers

On flip side, who predicted the Bengals would have a better offense than Steelers .. ranked 2nd and 7th in two different rankings.. WHO DEY

You gotta LOL at this considering they played the 49ers and Rams. Both bottom 5 offenses in the NFL.

NFL's scoring defense stat is broken, check this out.

Bengals' D has given up
13 to Oakland
19 to San Diego
18 to Baltimore (the fumble returned for 6 by Baltimore should not count against our defense as it's not even on the field, although the extra point would)

This is 50 points total over 3 games, which averages to 16.67777 points. NFL defense points given up says 18.67777, which would be the fumble return difference of 6 points over the 3 games or 2 per game.

Has it always been this way?
