Game over.
The Steelers got outplayed, so ranking them ahead of us in the standings based on that win is flawed logic.
Dude just stop.
They're ranked ahead of the Bengals because they are, in fact, better than the Bengals. If the Bengals were better than they wouldn't have imploded like they did in the postseason.
When was the last time the Steelers imploded? I don't remember because good teams don't implode. Did they get away with a few non calls? Irrelevant - they had more penalties than the Bengals so they were able to win despite screwing the pooch more often and for more yards.
The ifs ands and buts are irrelevant - they won 2 out of 3. The record books don't have asterisks next to W's saying 'the Bengals would've won but they lost their composure'. It just says 'Steelers win'.
Just stop and quit acting like there is some grand conspiracy. You get ahead by beating people - not imploding like a peewee team on national TV.
