We should be 4-0

Things that are a strength somehow falter and they find a way to lose.

People point to Dalton being out for our last loss in the playoffs tot he Steelers, but Leveon Bell was out. And the Steelers ran the ball for 169 yards against us with 2 RB's that they signed off the street! We on the other hand rushed for 91 yards. We also had 4 turnovers. They had 2. The had more passing yards than us too.

Simply put, they outplayed us in that game. They led most of the game. But, even with all of that, there were a few opportunities to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and we couldn't do it. And fans lament what was a sure win. But statistical indicators all show the Steelers should have win.

The common thread with the Bengals is they find a way to lose. And usually new and different ways.

The long pass to Allison against the Packers shouldn't happen if you want to win in OT. 1 good half of offense isn't enough to win. You have to play well for 60 minutes.

This is one of the times I agree with you. Not only the Steelers playoff debacle but the same happened in the San Diego playoff game. You just sit back and wonder, how?
