Of course Jeremy Hill was destined to fumble the ball, at the Pitt 26 with 1:30 left, 1st down also.
He sucks, vastly over rated. Burfict did not lose the game.

Terry's not. In his mind, the Steelers players and coaches are paragons of virtue.

Post of the day. Wonder what the refs got paid. They looked completely one-sided and in the process completely lost control of the game. Epic meltdown. It feels like the last 5 minutes was driving a car off into the sunset then abruptly doing a rockford files and drove the car over a cliff after it got hit by a meteor and burst into flames.

Burfict wreaked havoc on Ben and got the interception that should have sealed the game. People forget.

Satan is alive and well. that was an evil **** storm those fans were expected to eat. Not excusing the BS behavior by some either.

I bet the NFL makes this the first game of the year next season in Cincy

Marvin Lewis was quoted as saying it wasn't certaing Burfick even made contact with Brown. That says a lot right there. He's an enabler. Reckon Parcells would have not cut him 5 minutes after the game?

Don't let a few bad apples destroy your opinion of a very good team. The offense for 55 minutes hung in there and did what they had to do to win. If you remove the bad plays by Burffict down the stretch and a very questionable no call on Shazier, and it becomes a very good hard fought game.

But if you're never going to win when you make the playoffs (minus the SB appearances, which obviously are a huge credit) then who cares?

For the record, I respect the Bengals organization but they are on the lower echelon of NFL franchises, which is fine because they have a few accomplishments and not everyone can be on top.

I'd actually say its debatable they're better than the Bills, who had the decade of the 90's and OJ Simpson the football player and..?

Just because they're better than the rock bottom doesn't mean they still aren't in the dirt (get it, rocks/dirt? [crickets]).

That said, they've done an awful lot more than any Houston football franchise, so they have that going for them.

Lewis is the first coach in NFL history to be 0-7 in the playoffs. Add to the fiasco last night and dude is as good as gone. You can bet your mortgage on that!

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/26065...is-his-job

Marvin Lewis has been the best thing that has happened to that franchise since the 80's. He's competitive. Eventually, they'll get over the hump. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning can't play forever.

I wouldn't have a problem with Lewis keeping his job. But I would also understand if the Bengals did decide to part ways with him. He has underachieved miserably in the playoffs and with the talent Lewis currently has on this team, that should not be the case. I don't think the Bengals should be content with making the playoffs and bowing out in the first round. Again, 0-7 in playoffs games. That sucks!!!

You don't remember the 90's do you?

Well I don't follow the Bengals. But I do know that since Lewis has been the coach there, the Bengals has had all sorts of inappropriate conduct issues with former and current players. And Lewis has underwhelm in the playoffs. I say he's been giving more than a fair chance by current management. There is no freaking way Lewis should keep his job, simply no way!

The Bengals can find someone to effectively coach this team.

Yep, Hue is probably going to get the 49 job.

Actually, you can lay much of the blame on Mike Brown, who has a penchant for giving tainted head-cases with demonstrable skills, like Jones and Burfict, second (or third or more) chances to re-integrate with football society. Why? Because other teams are reluctant to deal with them, and they come cheap. Mike Brown is all about cheap.

Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't tender a low-ball offer to Ray Rice. Rice would've fit right in with Bengals culture.

You weren't there in the 90's. It gives you perspective.

I must admit that the Steelers wasn't innocent (last night) and I'm really unsure how in the world this series got this intense. I'm not going to deny that the Raven and Steelers had bad blood throughout the years, but there was some level of respect. Hell, I vehemently despised guys like Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, but I'd love to see them in a Steelers uniform. And sh@t, the Steelers had some questionable characters throughout the years, like Joey Porter, Greg Lloyd, and James Harrison and many more, but I was never afraid they was going to take a completely stupid penalty down the stretch that would cost them the game. Point here is, Burfict is a complete tool. He made some plays, the Ben sack and that INT, but lawd... that play at the end of the game was just selfish on his part. He came across the middle like Matt Cooke (of the Penguins) when he took cheap shots on opposing teams. Last night was a joke, and I've seen intense HS rivalry games that had more class than the nonsense displayed. We had players clapping/laughing when other players got hurt. Neither Lewis or Tomlin had control of their teams last night. But to top it off, that last .30 tics was a complete sh*tshow.

As for the Cincinnati fans, I gotta pass that off as a one-time thing. I don't have any recollection of them throwing debris on the field before and there really wasn't much thrown. I've seen Cleveland, Baltimore, and Philly display far worse and actually has a reputation. Maybe it's a start of a trend for the Queen City. But I have my doubts.

When Paul Brown died and Mike Brown took over he fired Wyhce, who took the Bengals to multiple playoffs, and
a Super Bowl. He hired Dave Shula, a WR coach, as head coach. He drafted and started David Klingler over Boomer.
It was so incompetent you could not make up anything more hilarious.

In 1997 the Bengals reclaimed Boomer from the Cardinals and he led them to 5 consecutive Ws at then
end of the season and then they cut him. A couple of years later they drafted Akili Smith #1, epic bust.

It all stated in 92' when the Bungles knocked Don Magic Majkowski of Green Bay out of the game, with a
large lead, and they inserted some guy named Brett Farve, who then through some silly 4th Q TD passes
to win the game. It was the start of the lost decade as we call it around here. The Bungles did it again a
couple of years later. They knocked Steve Beuerlein out of a game and they inserted Mark Brunell, who then
went on to have some great seasons for the Jags.

In recent years I think Mikey Boy has let Duke Tobin and the coaches have their say in drafting players.

There has been bad blood for a long time, really since the Kimo hit on Carson's knee.
Then Hines Ward breaking River's jaw and then Huber's jaw. Marvin is from Pitt.
There is a reason they call it the Hines Ward Rule.
http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steel...0903240116

Hines Ward has no plans to comply with the rule named for him
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/200...d-for-him/

FWIW KC had an INT yesterday and they could have laid out Hopkins, but they took a pass.

Honestly if you are going to go down, go down swinging. The old Bengals would have lost this game by 30 5-10 years ago. Jeremy Hill fumble IMHO is what lost the game.
