This proves Steelers are not all that. Bengals have only been beat bad by one team this year, The Eagles. Bengals can follow up Cleveland beating Pittsburgh with Cincinnati beating Pittsburgh. Ohio all over Pittsburgh back to back.

GO BENGALS

Who cares? The season is over, only hurting draft position now.

Means the Browns can beat us.

In the AFC North anyone can beat anyone on any given Sunday — or Thursday.

Anyone else share my sentiment:

I’m loving the Stoolers’ loss. Bwahahaaha.

That said ….

They will be even more motivated to beat us now.

They aren’t dropping 2 in a row to weaker teams, let alone weaker rivals as they contend for playoff standings.

They are coached too well and have a fire in their bellies.

That’s a legit franchise w legit coaches, owners, and leaders.

I can’t stand them - just keeping it real.

We are guaranteed to lose now.

It might be a massacre now.

I agree Steelers arent losing 2 games in a row. My guess is you'll see Paycor become Pittsburgh West for the weekend.

I mean season tickets aren't cheap and selling to Steelers fans is a great way to make up for some of the money out of your pocket at the holidays.

As much as I hate to admit it, this seasons 98% a wrap for the Bengals. Time to sit at home where it's nice and warm and watch the games....ha

I would expect us to finish 6-11 or 7-10 on this season. If it's me, play for a draft pick at this point.

When's the last time we beat Baltimore? 22 playoffs vs Tyler Huntley?

So the Steelers offense is struggling, but our defense is really bad. So likely they'll be able to run against us atleast.

In the Zac Taylor era the Bengals are 4-6 against the Steelers and the Browns are 6-6.

We still don't have a W over anyone that has more than 3 wins this season.

Browns also beat Lamar led Ravens who are 10-1 against Bengals.

Browns defense and the snow was just a huge factor last night. However I can likely argue the Steelers made a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes.

No one is saying the Bengals can't win but no one is seeing a "sweep" a 1-1 scenario is most likely and unfortunately that's all it's going to take to end our season.

Jake Browning will take over for the benched Joe Borrow and lead the Bengals to the greatest comeback in NFL history winning the super bowl 73-0.... Just one of those random hallucinations I get every now and then..

I'm embarrassed to have even read this shit.

Well, yeah, but that doesn’t make anything likely. Just like people checking a box saying we will beat the Browns. I mean, we should, but they clearly have the ability to beat us

I refuse to get my hopes up. We have too many issues to overcome. Even if we were to somehow make it to the playoffs, the one-and-done curse would rear its ugly head again, and who wants that? Some of us old-timers will never recover from the ML era, and it looks like Zac has been taking Marvinomics because we are starting to cement ourselves back into our old ways of losing, but having a great enough offense to keep the dreams alive. What a joke!

Old timer - ML Era?  Really?  I've been following the Bengals since 1982.  Trust me, I'll take the Marvin Lewis era over the Dave Shula, Dick Lebeau, and Bruce Coslet, or also known as the Lost Decade.  Marvin Lewis catches so much shit for being 0-7 in the playoffs but you know what at least those teams were competitive and got to the playoffs.  Know what Shula, Lebeau, and Coslet never did, make the playoffs.  So again, you talk about the ML era all you want but don't act like that man didn't come into Cincinnati and completely turn the franchise from sorry ass losers into a competitive NFL quality football team.

What good does it do, to have a nice car you don't know how to drive? 

They just lost and the Bengals have a piss poor defense. They will lose by 10.

This here. I'll also add they hate losing.
