Bengals were far superior and it was another classic blown "Lewis" game. I also believe the Bengals had a better team in 05 against the Steelers, hence taking Carson out to win.
Th '09 Bengals were just lucky after Henry went down with injury and our passing game disappeared. After we beat the Steelers in week 9 (without scoring an offensive td) our only wins were against the Browns (5-11), the Lions (2-14), and the Chiefs (4-12) and it took a td in the final 2 minutes to pull out that win against Kansas City at home. We went 0-5 against the rest of our opponents getting outscored 138-65. Meanwhile the Jets had both the #1 defense and the #1 rushing game in the entire league.
In '05 we would have had a good chance aginst the Steelers if Carson and Henry had not been lost on the first drive, but without them the Steelers were clearly the better team. that is whay they went on to win the Super Bowl.
