Bengals vs. Texans

The boys should go 4-0 against the Texans this weekend. And if they don't…something is very, very wrong.

The team's been getting a lot of press lately and some are even calling them a playoff team 3 weeks into the season. Granted, they've been playing really well, but they haven't really had a true test of their full potential yet. Week 1 was the Browns, with a new head coach. Week 2 was the Vikings, with a Culpepper without a Moss, a new owner and a new offensive coordinator. Week 3 was the Bears, with a rookie quarterback in the starting position. They haven't played a solid, established team yet. Week 4 is the Texans, who (for all intensive purposes) are ranked last in the league. Week 5 will send the team to Jacksonville, beginning their real season, where they'll play some decent teams to test all the improvements. Pittsburgh will pit our ferocious secondary against Big Ben and his receiving core. Willie Parker will test the run defense. That'll be a game to watch.

I'm happy for the team and it's doing the city good, but all this hype, in my opinion, is a bit premature when you look at the rest of their schedule. But, in the end…Who dey!! In Marvin We Trust!!
