Not sure I would I would define the playoff game as a "miracle". "Debacle" seems much more fitting.

That would be like describing the Seahawks/Packers "Fail Mary" game as a miracle finish.

To me, a miracle finish is something like the Doug Flutie Hail Mary for Boston College. Or coming back from a 20 down in the 4th. Not refs making bad calls (or no calls) or a couple guys losing their composure on a final drive.

It didn't even show the finish, just Hill's fumble.

Just a reminder of how unlikely and how big of a miracle it was of us to blow that game.

Whenever it comes up, I get the same feeling that I had when I was sitting in the crippled section at PBS and it all went down.

The painful life of a Bengals fan.

Once we failed to just kneel the ball and submit to the Steelers defense we needed to just bend over and let their offense ream us for the win.

Our defense couldn't stop a QB who couldn't throw a football.  But he didn't really need to throw it more than 10 yards because we just let them right in for the win.  Such is life.
