At that point you're projecting the results of 4 games in "what if" mode. That's a whole lot of projecting, a full fourth of a season without knowing how it'd go.

Hill not fumbling is a clear and immediate thing. If he doesn't fumble, they win. There's no real mystery involved.

Are Burfict and Jones culpable? Certainly. Did Hill get shaded from most of the criticism he'd have (justifiably) gotten due to the fiasco that happened right after? Absolutely.

Who knows though? The Steelers still had all 3 timeouts and say they stop the Bengals and make them kick a field goal. There's still a minute to work with and our defense let them go down that field. They got to our 47 yard line before any penalties happened.

Nothing is "clear cut".

When Ben came out after his injury, I'm pretty sure many of us thought we would win because he wouldn't be able to throw deep. Yet here we are.

Hill deserves blame. Jones deserves blame. Burfict deserves blame.
