Reminds me of last year Game 1 and how the Bengals walked into a war with a team who was already on 100 while they were trying to work out the kinks like it was preseason. Hopefully there isn't that big of difference in energy between Bengals and Browns although the Browns starters have gotten work.

It'll be interesting to see why they hid our udfa running backs this preseason. I am interested in seeing if they can show any promise.

Also interested in the UDFA wideouts that showed a little flash against the Falcons.

This.  

There's a risk every week in the NFL.  Sure you don't want to risk it in a game that doesn't count, but I don't think it's a good idea to not have our timing down on offense before going into back to back games against very tough division foes.   I've not been a fan of don't play your starters during pre-season.  I understand the thinking but disagree. The Steelers are already hitting on all cylinders - albeit against backups.

If we come out purring right away I will be properly chastened.   But if not I will be disappointed and feel like we will have missed a chance to start the season out right.

With the calf I can see Joe not playing.  But the o-line we are going to be depending on needs reps
