Did anyone else want to go for it in Overtime?

Why not try to make a play? Either way it's 3rd down

I guess all the bad decision/plays in the game weren't enough for some...

Yeah. I would have ran a play there.

we were position to kick FG, with the snapper i thought a good move just in case a really bad snap... you have Mac, why take a chance for fumble, int , sack penalty.. let kick and win

The only way Bengals get the ball back is a turnover.

1:04 on the clock.  And they would only have needed about 20 or so yards to get into field goal range.

Run 14 more seconds off and try to pin them back as close as you can to the goal line make them go further with less time.

Because the snap was off. Sack or penalty really doesn't matter. 

But as I said: It's perfect hindsight vision. Huber and Mac tried to make a play

Not for the 4th and 16. But just watched Joe goodberrys Bengals on the brain. Which if anyone doesn't know about that it comes on at Tuesdays at 8 and I really enjoy those. But he brought up the point that when we got down to the 12 yd line in overtime we basically settled on a field goal again. A run up the middle for nothing and a two yard pass to sample. We should've just dropped burrow back twice if not 3 times and see what he could do. He struggled early but he had thrown at least 4 would be game winners in the last 4 mins of the game. The chances were probably higher of him doing it again vs making the field goal with Wilcox snapping. 

He usually has some different takes and one that caught me by surprise was he thought rewatching the game the oline played better in the first half vs the 2nd half. Said he thought like anyone watching the game that it seemed the oline settled down and played better in the 2nd half. But it seemed the difference was more Burrow reading the defense better and having better answers for what the defense was doing.

Except that Pitt only had single coverage on the gunners and 2 guys in the middle of the field, to protect against a fake.

You run as much clock as you can then punt.

Bengals forgot run off clock though, which was really stupid.

This is the correct answer, regardless of the “kissing your sister” attitude about it. I’m the situation that played out, you punt and play for the tie, because it’s better than a loss, and at that point, is your best likely outcome.

A tie can get you into the playoffs…just like it did for Pittsburgh last season.

Pitt got the ball with :56 seconds and the Bengals did not have any timeouts left.

Couple things that aren't being talked about, one i recall was mentioned: Flowers was in perfect position to pick biscuit on 1st down of pitt's last drive in OT then Hubbard jumped but couldn't even get the QB down, unabated--which brings me to my next point. Why wasn't the whistle blown when Hubbard had a free shot on the QB? The T did get a hand on Hubbard but not enough to stop him from going right around him.

Oh, and Bates missed a tackle that gave the TE 6 more yards on that play. 

I guess there's just not enough time in the week to discuss all of the Bengals gaffes on Sunday.
