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.
A very fair post indeed. Unfortunately I doubt the fumble horsecrap has helped much, but knowing Marvin's teams, I doubt we come out kicking and screaming next game anyway.
Although Vontaze is back. Chances are he puts multiple Steelers on IR and then loses us the game by running the field and giving up a last minute safety off a game-sealing INT. Like he was very close to freakin doing in that playoff game...
