After watching that game the Bengals don't scare me as much.
The Texans have had problems scoring on offense, but actually lead the NFL in 3rd down defense. I agree that they suck, but when you consider the fact that they've been at home in Houston for the past 3 weeks (only one game vs. TEN on November 1) and were coming off of a bye it's reasonable to give some credit to their preparation and play.
If you can't get pumped up with your division up for grabs and the star QB (Luck) out for the next 2-6 games, then something's wrong with you. That said, you obviously make a fair point that CIN didn't look good, but I think I'd lean more towards giving the credit to the Texans. They came ready to play last night.
