RE:

I just hope they go back to that workman like effort and show some pride in their work.

I'm not really convinced we'll do well against Young. But I think that our defense is still opportunistic enough to pick off Young several times.

Though this game will have a lot to do with our offense and their defense. Both in the top ten this season.

Rough commentary...

from the talking heads at CBS on the game. Anybody else think they went a little overboard on taking Chad Johnson to task over the celebration with the camera? I knew the mustache (Cowher) would grumble about it, but Marino claimed that it was dividing the locker room, and Boomer fretted that it made Marvin Lewis look bad. Kind of felt like they had no real angle on the game to talk about, so they made a lot out of nothing.

That said, much better effort by the team this week. Still probably too late for this season, but games like this might make this year a little more palatable before everything is said and done.
