Their O line looked pretty dang good, and Antonio Brown was all over the place as expected.
Their defense needs a LOT of work, that can be said lol. Both defensive units looked lost.
Hopefully Eifert watched that game and got inspired.

Brown was awesome as always, but I would venture he had one of his better stat days in 2015 in week one and they still only scored 21 points.
Williams was very good, but Bell will be better and Williams will spend most of his time on the bench unless Bell is hurt.
H. Miller had a career pass catching and likely won't come close to matching it.
My point simply is for as good a night as the Steelers had moving the ball, it did into points.
On defense, their defense had missed assignments all nigh long. A college QB could have completed a lot of those huge plays as guys were uncovered including Gronk not once, but twice and Danny A. and Edelman each had big plays not completed due to over throws by Brady or it could have been a lot worse.
We say a very good Steelers offense as advertised, we say a very bad Steelers defense as advertised.

It was a lot closer than people think, and veteran kickers don't miss easy fgs like that most of the time. The suisham injury just literally lost them a game (or left them much farther from it than they could have been).

So why do you worry so much about what we (the fans) are speculating on? In fact, I have no idea why you even bothered to post here.

THESE GAMES COUNT in just a 16 game season....This isn't the Reds of 162 games...
This was a great way to start the season.![]()

Taking that and building on it is what great coaches do...but it's been my experience that Marvin Lewis and the Bengals go out and lay an egg, ruining that momentum.
I'd love to see them prove me wrong though!
