Good question, but with a total of 96 points being scored between both teams, I don't think it was just the Bengal's D that sucked. This was definitely a game of pure offense..with Palmer putting up 6TD's, 2INT, and a total of 401 yards and Cleveland's D Anderson cranking out 5TD's, 1INT, and a total of 328 yards!!! Do the math, folks...that's a helluva lot of yards!! Ocho Cinco did his part in coming up with 209 reception yards..but there was very little DEFENSE in this shootout between the division rivals.

From the way it looked, the Bengals defense is really that bad. I am happy about that being a Steeler fan. The Bengals defense was beyond horrible yesterday. They gave up a big 66 yard touchdown run to Lewis, a lot of big catches that should have been picks.
The are an overrated team this year, and might end up worse than the Browns were predicted if they do not fix some of those holes in the defense.

A little of both, but more that Cinncy didn't play Defense. I'm not saying that the Browns can score 51 on everyone, because they can't. But, if they play mistake free football on offense, like they did yesterday, and the O-line plays like they did and they establish a running game, then they can score, just like any other team in the league. Not 51, mind you, but 17 - 24 a game is very feasible when you play solid offense.
Now it does help when you are playing a poor defense like the Bungals, and they are missing every tackle on the field, and not closing gaps in the rushing lanes. That's why they scored 51. If both teams actually played some D, then it would have been about 20 or 25 points less each yesterday.

The Bengals defense was SO bad. Constantly missed assignments and boneheaded play all over the field on D. It's easy for your offense to look good when guys are too out of position to stop the run and you have a WR who is 10 yards open. The Browns saw more intimidating looks against their scout team!
I would be surprised if the Browns can replicate this offensive performance ever again this season.

Bengals "D" is looking unforgivably horrible. Jamal Lewis has been a very good RB over his career, but he's a couple steps slower than he was in his prime -- yet he shredded the Cincinnati defense for 215 yards. Oh, and Derek Anderson -- DEREK FREAKIN' ANDERSON -- rained 5 TDs on the secondary.
Gonna be a long, cold winter in the Queen City.

browns got lucky, for some reason they get in shootouts, the last seasons game was high scoring too but the bengals won that one,
and the bengals didnt give up nearly as much to baltimore last week, so it was just a weird browns vs bengals fluke

Derek Anderson played like Tom Brady...Course, Carson Palmer did too...but Carson Palmer is #3 in the NFL behind Brady and Peyton...Derek Anderson is nowhere near Carson Palmer...The Bengals D really sucks...

Bengals defense just sucks. There is no way Anderson threw for 4 touchdowns of skill alone.
