We can and will beat the Steelers Saturday. They are very overrated.
This is about the Giants absolutely crapping their pants in the New England game which came back to bite them. It was the most bone-headed loss by any team all season.
If they had won that game, the Bengals would be the #2 seed, with Denver the #1. The steelers(#6) would be headed to New England (#3) . The Bengals would be hosting the Pats if they won, or the winner of Texans/Chiefs in Round 2.
What a difference that one game makes.
I know, I know...you have to win games like the Texans game...blah, blah, blah. The Bengals finished 12-4, the same record as the other top two teams in the playoffs. They got a bye, and the Bengals didn't. The bye MIGHT have allowed time for Dalton to return. It just pisses me off.
