The only positive I can see is that this Stealer/Giver (errrrr... I mean Bengal) game is the worst losing your s h i t game I have ever seen and makes the I'll-fated February play pale in comparison. I totally get the magnitude of the difference between w/c weekend and the SB, but JEEZUS..... The Bengals effed that up. We're I the ownership, I would feel like firing some hot-headed idiots.

Bye, Bye Marvin......

I wasn't able to see it HS, what happened?

I caught only a glimpse of either game today.

As for Pitt...I doubt they go much further, even though Manning is the starter for Denver.

Yeah that was just terrible. Epic meltdown. The fumble and the penalties...

Personally I think that depends on whether Rothlisberger, Brown and Williams can play. If they can, I don't see how Denver can win to be honest. They can't score, and Pittsburgh offense can and does score on anyone. Course without 2 or 3 of those guys, Pittsburgh is toast.

Those penalties turned a long Field Goal attempt into a chip shot.
I can forgive a fumble, but losing your mind in the final seconds is selfish. I would hope they cut Burfect after this.

Obi.... I typed out a response and my damned phone kicked me out (need to figure out why) before I could answer. Anyway, in short... The Bengals led by a point w/ less than 2 min. They fumbled and then.....penalty by penalty, they led the Stealers to FG range and lost.

In other words.. it was the Bengals being the Bengals!

If that receiver clears concussion protocol, I'll be shocked. Compared to Luke Willson, that was way worse.

Thanks Sis! Too bad I wanted the Squealers to lose.

Neither team was innocent. That hit on Bernard was cheap too. Why was Pitts coach (Joey Porter) on the field jawing at Adam Jones? The whole game was a debacle staring with the refs having to be at midfield at pregame to keep the children apart.

I am glad we don't have players like Burfict and Pac Man Jones on our team. Sure, a couple of our players have screwed up at absolutely the wrong time (as if there is a good time) but they have never cost us a game.

That it was BOTH Jones and Burfict was telling.

Terrible coaching on both sides not getting their players under control... Though I remember Bruce in the SB. He was uncoachable in that moment.
