The WHOLE TEAM lost that game.  Not saying Hill does not deserve some of the blame, but it is silly to give him ALL the blame.  The Bengals were ahead and the Stealers were far from scoring distance when they got the ball.

Plus, if I recall correctly the Steelers playoff loss looked just like the loss to the Cardinals earlier in the year.  We were ahead but we let the QB hit the most obvious WR he was 100000% going to want to throw to and then just to hedge our bets we gave a nice 15 yard pointless penalty to set up a game blowing FG.

If I were a superstitious man I'd say Burfict running around like the game was over after he made that INT was the "Juju danced on our logo" moment that doomed us.  Ah well...Hill is gone so I guess we've been winning playoff games like they're goin' outta style without him, eh?
