We may have the best team in the NFL handling the Texans and beating the Ravens in their building on a short week may prove it. The numbers say after week 2 we have a top 5 offense and defense along with a top 10 special teams unit. Even Including first2 weeks according to raw numbers we are top 11 in offense and defense. With these 4th and 2 or3 at midfield or plus territory I would like to see a bit more aggression that is all we may have the best team in football lets act like it

When your team is in the lead, and your defense has a pretty firm grip on the opponent's offense, there's really no need to take unnecessary risks and possibly send momentum into your opponent's favor.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I think the play of the defense has made a conservative approach more tenable

We are plenty aggressive imo
It’s actually insane when you realize that young fans only know us as an aggressive offense lol
They have no knowledge of the Marvin Lewis teams punting and taking field goals with inches to go as if FGs were worth 15 points
