I'll wait to see them play a team other than road game Steelers. Over the past 4 or 5 years playing pit tight at home is more evidence of being bad than good.

Being out of market blows. I don't think the red zone showed Pittsburgh's offense at all until the second half. Sounds like I missed a lot of penalties.

That's because their offense didn't really do anything til the second half. Time of possession was pretty lopsided in the first half.

Your undefeated Baltimore Ravens are looking a little less invincible in the cold light of Texans@Bengals. At least they have those 6 guaranteed wins from playing all you bozos. That should see Baltimore comfortably to an 8-8 season.

Remember when the Ravens top free agent Eric Weddle, with help from the overrated CJ Mosley and Zach Orr could not gang tackle the 5'10", 185lb Antonio Brown at the goal line, whew lads

They've been so good at drafting and developing receivers it's not looking like luck anymore.

I'm willing to say that the Steelers excellent WR picks and development aren't luck based but if they had an inkling that Brown could be who he became there is no way Pittsburgh waits until the 6th round to grab him. They were smart to pay him over Mike Wallace when most of the league thought that would be dumb, so that deserves real props.

Was that the time the Steelers were down 21-3 at half, and came back to essentially win the game on a 3rd and 18 with about minute left, and Ben threw a 65 yard pass to AB that he caught on his helmet during his rookie season?

I was so excited for the Steelers to pay Mike Wallace and let Brown walk exclusively because of that play.

As they celebrate 50 years with their tagline "we're not just the 2017 Bengals we're every Bengals team" these first couple games have felt like a comforting nostalgia blanket. Yes, this is what being a Bengal's fan is supposed to feel like.
