I don't disagree that the Bengals would have won the Steelers game but for the cheap shot.
But who did the Steelers play in the next game? Peyton Manning's Colts. The Bengals never beat the Colts with Manning as their QB and they wouldn't have in those playoffs either.
Don't forget--Slim was injured on that play too. So, even if CP was there, Slim would not have been.
I'm sticking with my opinion and don't see it as a fallacy because of what I already mentioned, momentum. It was strong and the team had a vibe of peaking at the right moment. I think Palmer and the boys could have won a shoot out with the Colts. Guess we'll never know.
