One thing cost us that game

The OLine was an issue again. While I'm sure some were not counted as official, there were a lot of dropped passes by receivers. Mixon was averaging near 6 YPC and only got 11 rushes.

The DLine was non-existent. DreK gave up on at least 1 play that resulted in a big gain for Pittsburgh. Lack of turnovers; Hubbard could've potentially caught the tipped pass instead of tipping it up for Ben, Dennard had position and should've picked the pass that Schuster took from him, Burfict had a near pick, WJ3 dropped a pick, and Schuster recovered the lone fumble. That's 5 opportunities for turnovers and they couldn't create 1. Abysmal TE coverage.

That doesn't even get into the injuries, not going for it on 4th and 1 on Pittsburgh's 40, and coming out flat in the 3rd Quarter after tying the game at the end of the first half.

There was plenty that the Bengals could've done to win without getting into the last TD drive or the officials.

I see a lot of the same, but again Dre gets blame for one big play against a great group, 1 play of 80??????

Why can't our defensive backs quit trying to be the hero? How many contested balls do they lose before they learn? Why can't they learn to bat the ball to the other defensive player when we have 2 and they have one? We should have 10 picks if they would learn this simple tip drill.
