This is no longer the Dalton out of college trying to learn the NFL. He's a veteran and he's got it going now.

We have won 4 of those 5 already....more than I could have hoped for. The darn steelers won't go away though. I have to give them credit for winning while ben was gone. I think we get a loss in pittsburgh since ben will be back, our D has been off and on, and we are not good coming off bye weeks. But even if we go 5-5 after the bye, we will still fininsh 11-5. I hope that would be good enough to win the division.

We knew we had a good O Line and we knew we had all these RB's and WR's and TE.....We knew we had Huber and Nugent which is solid....We knew Dalton had taken us to 4 play-off seasons in 4 years, and now in his 5th year he is playing like an old veteran now of 74 straight starts in regular season and play-offs.  So I'm not all that surprised. ...

.....and no, Steelers are not going to light us up. Nobody has lighted up the Bengals D so far and our D will get even better going into the Super Bowl. ...I see it took little time for Steeler fans to pop up. I don't care, they aren't going to ruin the 6-0 start or the bye week, buy week as they call it.  I'll just enjoy the next 2 weeks until Bengals slap down the Steelers and go 7-0...Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap are for real and add in the rest of the best D Line going in the NFL, these guys are Super Bowl Bound.

(pending ev1 stays healthy) there's no stopping this team, it succeeds despite the coaching ( line coaches te coaches etc....) this team is a shining example of winning despite small coaching. kc royals operate in almost exactly this same manner.

It's all going to be on our offenses shoulders to put up points every drive.
