Steelers get away with pick play FTW. They should thank the refs. Bengals should’ve won that game.

The bengals got beat in every facet of this game. Blown call or not they didn’t deserve to win.

They did not even try to disguise it.

Blatant opi,and when the QB is out of the pocket you can legally hold horrible call on drek who I thought played a good game today considering the fact that we got absolutely no pressure...

Meh, Ben would have just thrown a 20 yarder for them to kick the game winner with 2 seconds left anyways.

I like how Fouts called it "A little bit of a pick". WTS, that play did not cost us the game. WRs not holding on to balls cost us the game

They called it a 'sort of' pick play a couple of times. I suspect NFL will at least look at it, not that it matters now.

People think refs were bad today.... just wait til the final game of the season when we are at Pitt. Playoffs +\- on the line at that time.

Steelers were already in field goal range at that point so it’s not relevant

IDK, if you tack on the penalty yards you're looking at about a 56 yarder

OPI is -10 yards. Incredibly relevant.

Also lost of down.

Maybe we should come out and make a statement against the Steelers, and not let a call here or there decide the game? Just a thought.

Not saying we didn’t catch some bad breaks, but I’m tired of the excuses. Just go out and dominate them and stop letting them come in and make PBS Heinz Field West.

Think the team we're fielding is worse than the 2015 Bengals. Defense is not playing well regardless of refs.

I think the holding call on Glenn when Dalton escaped pressure and dropped a dime on Boyd hurt like a ************ too. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad call, but OLine holding was ignored for the overwhelming majority of the game.

The refs weren’t that bad at all compared to like every other game that I’ve seen between these two teams.

OPI is not loss of down but it would have gone from a 50 yard FG attempt to 60. And Boswell as been pretty bad this year. I just don't get how that call was not made. Inexcusable.

I agree with this. There have been A LOT of Bengals/Steelers games where it was outright blatant favoritism. Games where the Bengals would be penalized to death for everything and the Steelers wouldn't get called for shit.

This was a fairly well called game. About as well could be expected for one of these games.

Easier said than done, most games are decided by 5 plays or less.

Even harder when your QB has 2 seconds and theirs has all day.
