On the Bengals site we have heard repeatedly about the improved kansas city defense, but no one backs up the claim with facts. I understand that you have added Law and have a rookie starting, why do the kc fans on our site seem convinced that will make all of the difference on how good your D is?
What they neglect is the fact that the Bengals have also worked hard to upgrade their D for this year. We get our starting safety back after a season ending shoulder injury early last year (Williams), Adams, a pro bowl player who is a true run stuffer, and another good safety who has been the SB MVP in Jackson. Plus changes in 6 other positions.
I’m looking for opinion, based on realistic facts, regarding whether the kc D will be able to contain the #2 QB in the league, a 1400 yard rusher, the O Line that gave up the 2nd least amount of sacks last year and returns intact, as well as what several NFL “experts” regard as the best receiving corps in football.
I don’t expect the Bengals D to stop LJ, but beyond him, how does kc fare in a shootout>
Welcome to the Crowd!
Allen and Mitchell continue to excel and get better.

Sims is on the bench and no longer will we be strapped with his half hearted mediocre effort.
I think you may also be discounting just how difficult it’s going to be to come into Arrowhead on the season opener with arguably the loudest Fan base in the NFL.
These are just a few examples of why we are feeling better about our defense. Now, will that translate into a strong showing against your Bangels? We will see Sunday.
