You're only appalled because the sting of losing to the Steelers again hurts. Be appalled at Marvin, Burfict and your own organization, it's no ones fault but their own they lost.
Both teams lost. It will just take the Steelers one more week to feel the same pain. The game would have been better served to be the AFCCG because they were probably the two best AFC teams.
That game was a blood bath. Whichever team lost would likely not have won the next week. Had the Bengals won they would have been without key players in NE. As it stands Pitt is in the same shape, Big Ben's shoulder is wrecked and Antonio Brown is in the protocol. They might be able to get AB back because he's really not hurt, but he still has to convince the doctor's of that somehow. Even so they are still not going to beat Denver with a limp-armed QB.
One things for sure, Pitt is no longer king and bully of the AFC North. The balance of power is transferring and will continue to transfer because Ben is getting old. Once he's done Pitt is done. Kind of sad because it's a great rivalry.
