The graphic about him being the most penalized player in the league over the last few years doesn’t surprise me one bit. When you’re terrible, you have to find ways to make up for your deficiencies.
Like finding another job. Hey, who's handing out the Gatorade to the players on the sidelines?

Definitely frustrated by the Bengals but the most frustrating thing is that the Steelers absolutely needed bad officiating to win. No, check that. Horrendous officiating. And they coincidentally need it on almost a weekly basis. Ask any fan of any team that loses a squeaker to them. It's not just kind of obvious. It's blatantly obvious. Sickening.

4- Idiot Iloka going for the hit with 21 seconds left in the first half and letting the ball hit him in the shoulder
5- Twice getting penalties on second and 1
6 - Minimal pass rush
7- Swiss cheese defense when game is on the line
8- that I actually believed they might win for half the game
Bengals are a reflection of their coach-- Dumb.
Too many bad plays again to expect to win
9- seeing Marv on the sidelines still coaching. Oh wait, I guess you can apply that to every game.

Most frustrating part of the game:
Jackson pulling up because he knew that if he hit Bell, he'd get a penalty. You shouldn't make players afraid of playing the game to avoid penalties. That's a symptom of the real problem in the NFL. Ticky Tacky bullshit penalties ruining games.
Speaking of which, Gio being called for a "hold" that was 100% less blatant than nearly every other block during your standard game.
Bodine being called for a hold during Mixon's big run when it was very clear it was unintentional and extremely brief/minor.
Burfict being laid out and the guy taunting him but somehow not being thrown out of the game.
Steelers players celebrating Burfict's injury is probably the most classless thing I've seen in a good long while.
Giving up a free field goal after Illoka goes for the "big hit" instead of just intercepting a ball that literally hit him in the shoulder.

Since we would've won the game if it wasn't for a phantom holding call on Gio, I'll take that one.
That was vintage AJ too, schooling 2 defenders to get in. All wiped away because refs get a Steelers bonus.

Marvin Lewis is still the coach.

The game didn't bother me for the most part. I went in expecting a loss. I went in wanting a loss (anything to get Marvin the **** out of here at this point). Still, the usual shit:
- Zero urgency on offense in the second half
- Dre Kirkpatrick being an overpaid bum
- The head coaches letting these guys kill each other on the field and doing nothing about it
- The fixed, stupid look on Marvin's face
Everything in this post is my fault.

Just watching Lewis get out coached week after week is driving me over the edge.

Most frustrating part was once again seeing the Steelers beat up and concuss the Bengals players and coming out of it unharmed and giddy.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything Brian Tuohy has to say.. He's always got a good conspiracy line to read about.. Hell, for that matter he might be the only reporter who will make a difference. Nahh.the league thinks he's the devil.. So far nothing on his site about this game, but he did cover the Packers game..
Personally I think everyone has been notified Ben gets his retirement trophy and anyone who steps across the line will pay the price and to keep their mouths shut about it.. We'll see though.. Travis Kelse called out the officiating. Let's see if any Bengals player follows suit.. I kind of doubt it.

Deja vu all over again: This game reminded me of the Bengals vs. Chargers game in 2006 when Cincinnati held a 28-6 lead at halftime — and lost.

All the fans who thought we would get waxed when we always play steelers tough only to watch refs keep them in game long enough for Marvin to choke it at the end.
