People need to relax and enjoy a road win to start the season.
'The D-Line didn't look good' - You don't get many sacks when the QB is getting rid of the ball almost immediately. When Luck took regular, more elongated drop backs...he was getting hit.
'The O-Line is terrible' - Perhaps, but it's still much improved over the sieve they trotted out last year.
'AJ's fumbling is a problem' - To a degree, yes. But the 1st fumble the defender smacked the ball square on the nose, that's more of a great (and lucky) play by the defender. The 2nd fumble...yeah that sucked.
'The Ravens looked like SB Champs today' - Against a team starting Nathan Peterman at QB...
Last year the Bengals went into week 3 without so much as having scored a single point through two full games. This year they opened up with a road win against a team whose winning streak at home against them was old enough to buy itself a damn beer. Indy had an emotionally charged building due to Luck's almost triumphant return. Add to that the fact that the Bengals were missing two starters on D, one of whom is among the best LB's in the NFL, and they still won. Take the wins when you get 'em, don't nit-pick because it wasn't a 46-0 blowout. They won, Pittsburgh tied the Browns, it was a GOOD day dammit!
