The Difference between the Bengals and Pittsburg?

Overall, from 1 to 22 the Steelers had players at the Top of their position group...but they also don't have a lot of starters that aren't good.

The Bengals typically always have 2,3,4 holes in starting spots. (This year Center, RT, maybe LB/DT/S). ie Fatal flaws. This years fatal flaw just happened to be the offensive line. Some years we can't stop the run. Some years we can't cover TE's. It's always something.

They got exposed for being overrated this season, IMO.  When you look at the run numbers, we're typically around the 20s.  Since Palmer left, they have been giving up fewer sacks, and everyone said they were great as a result of it.  Palmer was woefully immobile before he got hurt, worse afterward.  Piano Man has been over his head for a while now......and every time he hand picks a player or stands behind one (Livings, Bodine), they're turds.
