What's More Impressive?

The 44-13 shellacking of the Bengals last night or the 35-7 pasting of the Steelers last year? For my money I'll take last night's win, opponent aside. That was the first time I've ever seen a Ravens offense impose their will on the other team via the passing game. Cincy looked like they had prepared for the 2010 version of the Ravens. Guys were running free all night. Plus, we never let up on the throttle. Like caption reads on cnnsi.com, NFL, you've been warned.

I was just saying that this morning. It looked like they really weren't prepared for this Sugar Offense. It really looked like they thought they were playing an old Ravens offense.

Despite the fact pretty much EVERYONE knew they were going to go no-huddle since it's been talked about all off-season.

Without a doubt last night's performance was more impressive. Joe was still throwing the deep ball up 2 TDs. I loved that aggressiveness. In additon we didn't have the benefit of last year's 7 turnovers we created against the Steelers

Keep in mind, on the 2nd game they went into TN and laid an egg. Philly is a trap game, I hope they don't look past them or this will be a wasted win

Yep. I mentioned this in another thread so I'm tempering my enthusiasm a little

While I understand your concerns, I just don't see that happening this year. One of the reasons we laid an egg at Tennessee was that the offense couldn't find a rhythm early on. If they keep up this up tempo style, it reduces the chances of that happening again. Then again, Philly could light up the defense, making this a moot point.

Last year was more so in my mind. That was a 12-4 Steeler team. Not sure about the Bengals, and how good they really are.

The offense was more impressive last night though, and overall, it probably sent some real shockwaves around the NFL.
