It is ironic how similar when compared to 2005 as you indicated, from a reversal perspective. I think this years Bengals have a much better receiving group across the board - if they stay healthy.
That year (2005) the Pitt defense was really at their prime and a load for everybody. Only a team like the Bengals that year gave them fits because we had the 3 receivers who could really spread them out down the field (Chris Henry being the x-factor). If only Palmer wouldn't have gone down?
This years Bengal defense can be very good but again, it all depends on a healthy season.
Every team sustains injuries and that's why depth is so important. But it seems like we've been hit in very key spots the last couple of years. Maybe this is the year the stars align for our guys for a change!
