Another game the Bengals give back to the Steelers. Allowing them to be able to win at the end. The Bell TD catch then run. As Jackson just had to give a little effort to knock him out of bounds. Only to look at the LB as it is all up to him. Dre Kirkpatrick has the most penalties by a defensive player since the start of last season. As well as his tackling skills of hang on while getting run over or just stay out of the way. Kind of looked like Bell was trying to find Kirkpatrick just to run over him.

Then you get to the dumb penalties. Some were correct but that crew throws an avg of 18 penalties a game. Which 5 or more should have never been thrown. Which I think helped to frustrate the players to commit some of the deserved penalties. The JU JU penalty then to stand over Burfect was bad. Which Decastro saw it that way and was moving JU JU. If that wouldn't have happened there could have been a big ugly fight. The next game with the Bengals the Steelers better play better to not get players hurt or suspended as they go into the playoffs. In one of Marvin's last games coaching the Bengals. If for no other reason than losing so much to the Steelers. In some of those games being up by 2 TD's or more.

Bad call on the Bengal TD that was brought back.

Shazier May be done for the year ? Hope not.

Agree noreply that had me pulling my hair out, the officiating was horrible the whole night! I knew Pitts would win as soon as they scored that field goal at the end of the half, you can't let a team score that quick with that little time left and keep momentum for the second half. Dalton played good but the receivers had some costly drops and losing Mixon was a killer ! Offensive line played very well giving Dalton time and opening plenty of holes for the backs, kudos to them! The big three for Pitts had their normal good games also. Brown holding onto that ball after nearly being decapitated was impressive.

There was a bad call on the Steeler punt return TD that was called back too...So that's a wash there.

To be honest,I don't care if he plays another down of football this year.I just hope and pray he makes a full recovery for the game of life.

Shazier may never play another down again. Being able to go through life is more important. Just like former Bengal David Pollock. Pollock retired after 2 years not wanting to further injury himself. He has gone on to work hard and have his job at ESPN.

I hope he makes full recovery too, but frankly I am surprised he didn't get seriously hurt before this the way he always would lower his head and go spearing into the ball carrier's body to make a tackle.

I can understand just got caught up in the race to the playoffs ! No foul , I might understand more than most with back problems !

Big win ! Next The Game !

The hole at Middle LB really stood out vs a poor Baltimore offense. Not the speed to get there on outside runs as well as out of place on inside runs. This will really hurt if the players can not step up. One possibility is moving Watt inside. Like what the Packers did before with Clay Mathews.

Game day / Hope that middle on D does well today !

Pittsburgh will win! Their defense looks a little vulnerable, but with an offense like that you don't need it. As long as BR or LB don't get injured they will be fine and rolling to the SB.

WOW ! Crazy ! Hope Brown will be back ! Hope Home field ?

Not double teaming Gronk hurt in the second half. The injury to Brown needs to rest as much as possible. Even then he can reinjure it at anytime. The WR's need to do more even if Brown comes back.The loss the way they lost hopefully the attitudes do not come back. Even though after the game Ben mentioned Coach meaning Haley wanted to run the pass play and Ben wanted to spike the ball. Having Connor get hurt effects the team if Bell gets hurt or has to rest some.

Ooops I jinxed the steelers What a game this was! The call at the end was correct the way they got the rules set up. I personally hate that rule. If you got control of the ball and it crosses the plane it should be a touchdown, like if you got two feet in with control it should also be a touchdown. Tough loss for Pitts! I thought for sure Pats blew the game giving up that long pass play.

Jmo the ball broke the plane ? Right ? Why do they say the ground can't cause a fumble ? May be wrong ?

well that was a debacle at the end. I thought it was a td, he crossed the plain with the ball in his hands. granted he bobbled it some. but that was after he hit the ground. but he still maintained possession and the ground can't cause a fumble. which never actually happened.i haven't read any other comments yet, so I'm curious as to what others thought. dumb pass by ben to lose it. but you cain't hit home runs if you ain't swingin for em. should have thrown it away, kicked the field goal, and went to ot. but it truly is the agony and defeat aspect of sports. it happens in a blink of the eye in every sport.did you all think it was a td. he crossed the goal line with the ball never hitting the ground. but the ball moved some. but never hit the ground. that is totally confusing to me.

I'm a Bengal 1st. and an afc north fan second. and I think the steelers got hosed.
