Have you seen the photo of at least 12 Bengal coaches and assistants on the field during another point in time? Probably but I guess you can ignore that because none of the Steeler players lost their minds.
Seriously the only person you all have to blame at this point is Marvin. Dude can't recognize how he could have safely won that game without worrying about a last minute drive for a field goal by the Steelers. He is undisciplined and it shows in his players. Your organization will not see a playoff win until Marvin is gone.
As a die hard Bengal fan for 30 years, and as someone who will continue to cheer for them even if they lose 18 straight playoff games, what cost us the game was Jeremy Hill's fumble. Would it have been a guarantee win if he didn't? No - but we would have been in the driver seat for sure. I'm getting so sick of all the dirty hit/refs/coaches talk. To me, its all just bullshit. The conversations won't change the outcome of the game, we lost, and need to just move on. Were the refs incorrect on some calls? Absolutely. I think in every game there are always a group of 50/50 calls, and one team is always going to receive the edge in each of those calls. You have the Shaw hit, the Gio hit, the TD catch, blah blah blah. Arguments can obviously be made for all of these freaking plays about which way they go, but ultimately Jeremy just needed to hold on to the ball, and Pacman just needed to sit silently on the sideline. You do that, you put yourselves in the position to win. But they didn't, and for that I'm pissed at my boys. But I'm going to renew my season tickets, and I'm going to continue to live a pretty incredible life.
I will never stop debating and talking smack, but its a lot more enjoyable about future events that create excitement leading up to the event, not past events that cannot be changed. That being said, Denver is going to beat Pittsburgh
