Correct, that is a big win.
Go on the road, against a team we always do badly against. Struggle almightily, and win. Good teams do that. I'm not convinced about us, have we really turned a corner, or was that just the same old bungling Bengals who won a close one? The Jets could and will argue they gave the game away themselves, with missed XP and a chip shot FG.
We are going to have to bring a MUCH better game next week, the Steelers will not let us off whatsoever if we play like that. O-Line.... what the heck was that? One of the worst OL performances I've seen by a Bengals team in a long time. Truly appalling game from that unit. D-Line, pretty ineffecitve... disappointing from a group we have so much money invested in. Run defence.... Really bad, probably a by-product of the poor game by the DL.
The positives? Andy had a rough start and rebounded to have a pretty strong day. 350+ yards, high completion rate.... we are hoping last year was not a fluke. Andy won us that game today, mostly on his own shoulders. He came to play after the 1st quarter. Sign of a good QB when they take a game that isn't going well, and make it go well. Other positives? The WR group. By WR group I mean Green and LaFell. AJ is just a monster, and LaFell was a very good compliment today. Tyler Boyd was anonymous, but it's his debut we'll let him get into it.
Always happy with a W, we're 1-0 rolling into Pitt in what will be a huge and highly charged game. We HAVE to bring it and bring it hard next week, we owe them a real beating. But we need to turn up, else they will pummel us, today's performance will easily see us move to 1-1. But we won a good one today, could prove to be a big W at the end of the season.
