There was plenty of time on the clock and they had 2 timeouts. Bengals were inside the steelers 40 at the 2:00 warning. Dave Lapham agrees and Mo Eggar agrees.
Link to Eggars and Lapham. I want to hear exactly what they say the Bengals should have done to burn more time.
Anyone who claims a team that has not scored a td in an entire half can ease up and waste plays 34 yards from the end zone with 2 minutes left doesn't know much about football.
Unless you want to limit the offense to using the sidelines you only get 8 or 9 plays in 2 minutes with 2 timeouts. And that is going no-huddle which can limit an offense's ability to call plays or make adjustments.

I would think about it this way. Would you rather put the game on the line with the ball, 1st and goal on the 1 yd line, with a minute to go, or give the ball back. I'd rather put it in the hands of our offense

People complain when the Bengals take too much time off the clock and also when they don’t. The Bengals put faith in their defense to do their job and they didn’t. Point blank.

For all you phychics out there with perfect 20/20 hind sight what's the size, weight and species of the next fish I'll catch when the Bengals are losing? I need to plan my Sunday dinner menus ahead of time .
