Screw the Steelers and screw the referees. Yes, the Bengals lost a playoff game they should have won but in doing so they proved they can be mentally tough in prime time, they are no longer scared of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they have what it takes to win it all. I'm mad too about the call on Martavis Bryant but that's not why Pittsburgh won. The Steelers won because the Bengals laid an offensive goose egg in the first half. I'm mad about the loss but the Bengals grew a set of big brass ones a week ago when they out-thugged the worst thugs in the league.
The former Reds manager Dusty Baker always said, "We need to get a grand-slam-proof lead." By that he meant he always wanted the Reds to go ahead by at least five runs so the opposing team, even if they hit a grand slam home run, could not catch up.
The same applies to the Bengals: Get the lead and extend the lead. Go up by as many scores as possible and nobody can come back and win, even in "garbage time."
