This was a total team loss

Still there was a holding call on James that wasn't special teams so not zero holding calls.  I guess I just get tired of the excuse Steelers get to hold all the time talk.  In fact they are tied in second place in the NFL for offensive holding penalties with 12 over 6 games.  The constant complaining Steelers always get to hold is lame and worn out and not at all why the Bengals lost.

Bengals lost because they once again did not play a complete game, made too many small mistakes, and could not finish a game. It had absolutely nothing to do with holding calls or lack there of. But I suppose the 'zero' holding calls is low hanging fruit for excuses when it comes down to the fact Bengals got out played and out coached.

Personally I'm tired of the ,"But this and that, no holding calls, Steelers always get this and that call," complaining. Even if it was true a good team with a good coach would be able to overcome that.
