Are the Bengals the worst 2-1 team in the NFL?

[Tobin S.]

I am a Bengals fan, but I'm not too impressed by them so far this year even though they are 2-1. And even though they have a decent record so far, they aren't getting much respect from the sports media. The highlights from last Sunday's game shown on ESPN were brief and showed the Bengals screwing up for the most part. I don't remember any positive plays being shown, just how bad the Bengals looked, even in winning. But, then again, the game is about winning and in the pros it doesn't matter how you win as long as you get the job done.

1. Tampa Probably Is

I don't see the Buccaneers finishing anywhere near .500.

The Bengals should be OK. The defense is pretty solid and the offense will eventually get it together.

2. That's kind of what I'm thinking

The defense got killed in the first week against the Patriots, but that is an awesome offense they have up there in New England and the Bengals' D looked pretty good the next couple of weeks. And even though the offense has made some mistakes and looked pretty mediocre so far they have still put up 20 points or better in their first three games, unless the defense was responsible for some of those points, but I don't quite recall.
