This young team has fought through injuries, losing Leon Hall, Dunlap, Green & others for games or the season. Along w/ a total team makeover in losing the teams franchise QB, WR, another potential HOF WR & the teams best shutdown Corner to other teams in a lockout shortened off-season.

Seeing something like a 17-13, 24-20 type of score & hopefully in the Bengals favor

WHO DEY
Can we try and keep the complaining about the officiating to a minimum today?

Looks like a really loud atmosphere. Crazy Dalton's first playoff start is at a place he's played at 3 time before.

Sometimes it's tough to play in front of the big crowd and home expectations if you're not used to it.

Bengals need to get going while the Texans are settling in.

Both rookie QBs throw a little wild and miss a wide open receiver on 3rd down on their first series!

Not so much as Hou shot themselves in the foot with a quick start and bad throw. Both running plays netted 5 yards.

Dalton is better than Yates. Just player vs. player, he's better.

There are a lot of other guys around both of them though.

Huge pass interference call puts the Bengals in FG position. Was a good call.

encouraging start for Cincinnati

7-0 lead

Dalton looked much more comfortable on the second series

defensive line playing well early on against Texans offensive line

Beautiful screen pass on 3rd down to the one was the money play on that drive to turn the penalty 3 into 7.

if Andre Johnson was still out, Texans might be worried right now

but Yates knows he can lean on him if he has to

Gruden with very good play calling so far. 2 great third down calls already.

Pretty much how I feel.

Its so stupid that you have to let the Wr catch the ball and prepare himself to run before you can hit him. What ever happened to trying to dislodge the ball? Fuckin Goodell

Adam Jones was being held like crazy on that TD run
