Once the injury hapened, no, I did not expect the Bengals to win. But, we didn't spend the weeks between the Bengals winning the division and the playoff game contemplating what our chances were against the Steelers with Kitna at the helm. We were celebrating them finally, FINALLY, having broken through with a division title and playoff berth for the first time in forever, and a shot at some national redemption. So, it was the month's worth of expectations getting flushed that hurt the most for me, and much more than the SD game given it came at the hands of the Steelers.
Hell, by '13 the Bengals dropping a playoff game, be it at home or against SD or whatever was, sadly, old hat and not entirely unexpected with Marvin and Andy at the controls.
