Early kudos to the o-line

That would've been a "good" game last year. I realize we still need to improve, but we've still come a long way.

Bengals were averaging under 2 YPC most of the game.  Fortunately they came alive late.  Again, the o-line is somewhat better but I'd fell even better if they could play a complete game for all 4 quarters.  I'm getting tired of this hot and cold stuff.  It certainly won't get us to that coveted playoff win.  Sure it would have been a good game last year which isn't saying much, but is that kind of on and off performance good enough in the very competitive AFCN?   I doubt it. And yes the Browns defense will probably give us problems this year. So no guaranteed 2 AFCN wins there. So there's that as well.

Also lets not forget in this game 14 points came from defense, 6 from field goals and the offense only TD was a great pass from Andy while he was being tackled during one of many pressures. So I'm not so sold on significant improvement from the o-line. They have just adapted their play calling to adjust to almost constant pass pressure. It works, for now...
