Awful NFL officiating.

Honest question (and honestly not a prelude to some smack talk), what do Steelers fans think of the officiating in the games with the Bengals? Worse/Better/Of Equal quality to the rest of their schedule?

I can't speak for all Steeler fans, but I think it is about the same--except that the hatred between the Bengals and Steelers generates exceptional intensity, which sets up exceptional situations--like the ending of the last playoff game. The fact that both are good teams means that games CAN be decided by a call.  If I were a ref, I would NOT want to ref a Bengals/Steelers game, not the next one, and certainly not another playoff game.
