Crocker breaks down the Ravens film through the first 2 weeks.

Basically says that in the long run going for two will pay off better than getting the extra point.

What do you think? Wave of the future? Could the Bengals pull it off?

Granted this is written by Bengals staff pushing a feel good theme, but the O-line has been looking good so far - and uncharacteristically good up the middle.   When Andy has a solid pocket he's a quality QB.   He's been very clean back there for two weeks.

I've been encouraged by both Boling and Bodine's play so far.   I was not expecting anything but a disaster from Bodine after what we saw in camp.  But he's been playing good ball, and is a better player than the last time we went into Baltimore.

I go back and forth about Alexander, but the truth is I really don't know squat about the guy.  But his line has been performing well the last several years and appears to have made a significant step up this year.

Hopefully this is not premature, but he appears to have been right about Bodine.   I sure hope he was right about Ogbuehi and Fisher as well.   If so we have a lot of good things to look forward to.

'Inside the NFL': Most shocking 2-0 teams
http://www.nfl.com/videos/inside-the-nfl/0ap3000000537598/Inside-the-NFL-Most-shocking-2-0-teams

I don't know how to link this so it comes up in the window. Not sure which type to use

This team should really be motivated this week. They are underdogs to a hated division rival who is winless and whom we have a winning streak against. The opposing coach has made condescending comments to media, blatently trying to puff up our egos going into the game. There are power rankings out there with the Steelers rated ahead of us, although their one win was a gimme at home. The Ravens are being picked to win by everybody not named Pete Prisco.

The next five games are brutal, and I think we need to go 3-2 at least to be where we want to be. Baltimore has got to be very confident going into their home opener. But it's like Mike Tyson said: Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Well it's time to do just that.

Let Geno loose this game. Send him up the middle and wreck the passing game early, so that they have no attempt to establish rhythm on offense.

Run power with an irate Jeremy Hill. Let him run all over the field ripping up a Suggs-less defense. Bomb it to A.J. Green when they least expect it.

Now's the time to put out foot on the throats of our division foes. I can see Pitt losing to St. Louis and the Browns are always capable of losing any week. 3-0 is a good start, but we have a tough schedule ahead. If being an underdog to a winless division rivals while looking impressive at 2-0 yourselves isn't motivation then I don't know what is.

Don't let us down this week boys. I ***** hate the Ravens.
