To me, the Steelers have just been better than the Bengals at making deep Playoff runs during the Big Ben era, coupled with some fortunate breaks like the Carson Palmer & Chris Henry injuries at the perfect moment for the Steelers. Jeremy Hill fumble then Burfict hit and Pac Man melt down at the perfect moment for the Steelers. Makes a Bengals fan feel cursed.
Overall, during Big Ben's era, the Steelers have been a much better team deeper in the Playoffs with 2 Big Ben Super bowls.
Our Defense gives us a shot this Sunday and our Offense should be able to put some points on the Board.
Big swing in where we stand if we Win Sunday.
Bengals 3 and 3 with a Win, with Steelers 4 and 3.
Or Bengals 2 and 4 with a Loss, with Steelers 5 and 2.
I think people have grown much to accustomed to something going wrong for the Bengals as we watch the Ball bounce the Steelers way.
Case in point for me was watching Aaron Rodgers go down knowing that the Steelers have to play Green Bay later this season.
Makes it seem like the Stars are aligned for the Steelers and people vent in ways you described about Refs, Burfict etc.
At the end of the day, the Bengals have to Earn it. Take it away from the Steelers. Change their Mojo by beating them this week on their Home Field. Be better.
I am itching to see it happen. For us to take this Division over and end what has seemed to be the Universe aligned in their favor.
It hasn't been Refs or the Universe, however.
Instead the Steelers have been ready to pounce on opportunities that arise in their favor and overcome obstacles like the Chiefs last week when their backs are against the wall.
The Bengals have to start doing that. Respond when our backs are against the wall.
Earn it and take it. No excuses...
Steelers have been better at making deep playoff runs than the Bengals?
The Bengals have won 5 playoff games in their entire history. 50 years.
The Steelers have been to 16 AFC championship games and won 36 playoff games.
