The Steelers won. No one cares about the BS "they only won because of this or that". They won. The end. If you have something of value to add, please do so. The people who do the rankings aren't Bengals fans, so they don't care about the "they only won because" bs.

It's not BS if you're not making excuses and just pointing out that the Steelers broke the rules, plain and simple.

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.

They didn't implode.  

The penalty on Burfict was a penalty, but it was a bullshit penalty, especially since Burfict had less than a second to either let him catch the ball or knock it free, which he even tried to miss him at the last instance.

The Steelers imploded because Porter went onto the field, which should have been a penalty long before Jones could commit the penalty and would have made it a 65 yard field goal attempt, which isn't happening.
