So is our O-line good or the bagels are right on this?

http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-12-instances-of-uncalled-holding-by-the-Steelers

Shows a lot of blatant holding by us. Anyone have any evidence of refs missing calls on them?

 

From that board: "Lets just put it this way, if we get even half of those calls the game is completely different not too mention the touchdown that was called out or the fumble that wasn't. The Steelers cannot beat the Bengals without serious help from the officials or injuries, that much is apparent."

 

need to beat the snot out of them come next game and make barfict irrelevant like he is. Bengals suck, 25 years of losing and the whole fanbase is putrid.

 

Well, they'll lose this week and by the time they play the undefeated Steelers again, they'll be eliminated already.

 

Considering the officiating was abysmal overall.. to cry about Steelers offensive holding should then be in the same application for the lack of head shots called against the Bengals.

 

For that matter they also hear what they want to as well.

 

lot of sour grapes by a fanbase that has been tortured by us since boomer esiason retired

 

I just wonder why any Steelers fan would waste their time on a Bengals message board.

The game was horribly officiated on both sides of the ball.

 

So yeah, the same fan base who couldn't see a half dozen of their coaches on the field during the playoffs last year, are now able to break down tape and see holding during this game? Eff them.

 

they win this week

 

I find it more amusing when we win with the perception of bad calls. I know it hurts them more.

 

Never knew you had that level of macabre humor.


You sicken me.

 

Hahahaha yes. The tears of unfathomabke sadness. So tasty.

In all seriousness there are tons of missed calls every single week. You can highlight just as many instances of holding against them too I'm sure. What's the saying? "There's a hold on every play"? Get over it. Dey suck.

 

You sound like somebody ready to make a bet.

 

dundid

 

no way the Bengals are going to let Denver come into their house and win
which means THE STEELERS need to show up in philly or they will be tied for 2nd
minus the head to head but still 2nd in the division

 

We shall see, Denver is playing pretty good ball

 

I don't recall teams ever fearing a trip to Cincinnati

 

pressure is on us to keep up

i'll admit
there is a part of me that wants the broncs to lose
sacrifices we make

 

The Bengals have a terrible OLine and can't run the ball behind it. The Steelers didn't challenge that OLine with the blitz but you can rest assured Denver will. Dalton is going to be in for a long day IMO.

Don't see the Bengals winning this one. I'll be very surprised if it's even close.

 

I go to several other teams forums just trying to get an objective perspective on our team. Redskins fans praised our team, Cowboys fans even did, ravens fans as well said we are good. Bengals fans... Ugh sorry I'll just shut up.

 

I live among Bengals fans. I wouldn't waste my time with their message board. Most of them honestly believe that they got robbed completely by the refs and would have eventually got the win had the game not been "fixed" against them.

It's too bad they ruled that a fumble. I would have liked to see how it would have panned out but I can pretty say that we still would have won. The Steelers weren't giving up any big plays in that game and keeping everything in front of them. 8 points in that amount of time would have been very hard to come by with the way our defense was playing.
