Still inconsistent on O but I will take it. The Vikings have one of the best D's in the NFL. Good start to the season.

The defense looks good. Giving up 1 td I can't ***** and we're getting to the qb. I hope Watt is ok. He's a play maker.

Browns gave the game away on turnovers. We beat the Mavens.

We should be 3-0, but who exactly have we beaten? We beat poor QB's, and we had sloppy play on offense.
OK, Debbie Downer. We are beating who we should be beating. The POs don't start next week.

It's the second game of the season, some of you guys act like there are 20 elite QB's in the league. If we had beat the Vikings WITH Bradford, the same thing would have been said "he's a poor QB". I'll take these ugly wins all day long, especially early in the year over laying eggs and looking out of sync in Nov and Dec.
Yes we've had some sloppy offensive play the first two games, but they've also made enough plays to get us two wins.

Need these games to get team in sync. Starting to gell but need running game to pick up.

can't win every game 45-3. I'll take the wins in CLE and at home against MIN. You can only beat the teams in front of you. Want to be 0-2 and Bengal problems? I definitely don't!
Their agenda is way more important and shall be pushed

Offense needs to clean up the formation penalties and false starts. Holding sometimes is a necessary tactic to protect the QB, but pre-snap penalties are inexcusable.
Red zone ... have to improve, and I believe they will. The offense was very inconsistent last week, better this week. As others have mentioned, that is due in large part to the fact that the starters play very little in the pre-season. I believe that next Sunday, the offense will click. Bryant is rounding into form, very nice catch-and-run on the crossing pattern.
Also, Brown was open on crossing patterns as well - keep exploiting the middle of the field. Yes, exploit 1-on-1 coverage on Bryant with deep balls a couple of times per game, but keep in mind that the defensive line and LB'ers are focused on stopping Bell and give the offense a lot of room in the middle of the field.
Good job by the defense. Yes, Case Keenum, I get that, but the D stuffed a legit RB in Cook. Secondary had a couple of blips but decent coverage overall. Very disappointed that Watt injured. Pass pressure not the same without him. Need him back or ROLB as soon as possible.

26 points against that D with two O players rusty and two significant D players out.
I would say that is a win on 6 days and Sunday.
Special teams was great today.
Matakevich picked up the fake punt
Boswell, although did miss one but luckily Minnesota called a timeout.
The receivers were decent too. Martavis is coming back to form. AB had a strong 4th qtr.
Defense was getting pressure, but are prone to give up some big plays. They'll get better imo.
Good win. Good win. Steelers are 2-0
