Nobody can tell me that they are happy with this one.

I am happy with this game because we won.

We beat a desperate Bengals team in their stadium. This was a must win for the Bengals to realistically keep their playoff hopes alive.

Sure, I could be happier because of some bad play calling on offense (why weren't we running more on the drive after it was 27-14 and Ben then throws an INT?) but we won. At the end of the day that's all that matters.

Ok, another close victory. When is the time to start worrying about this team? The offense keeps spitting and sputtering and going nowhere fast and the D keeps getting fried by the pass on a weekly basis.

This is not a SB caliber team right now. There is no consistency on either side of the ball. Go look at the numbers on how many passing yards the Steelers have given up in the past 4 games. It's abysmal. Now Brady and his locks come to town next week. They haven't been able to get much pressure on QBs lately, the O line is a patched up mess right now, Ward and Miller have disappeared, red zone offense is still horrible.

Something needs to be done. If I were Tomlin I would go off in the locker room. There is absolutely NO reason to be celebrating any aspect of this game. This kind of performance against a 2-5 team is a joke. You can't beat the likes of the Ravens, Pats and Jets by playing like this.

It's a win. Shouldn't have been as close as it ended up but this is a win against a division foe. As long as we learn from our mistakes going forward, I am not to concerned about the overall score. Wish we could have more games like the TB one where we don't have to be nervous bu tit's almost always exciting with these guys.

ugh....Theres still way way..way too much 09 stink on this team for us to think we'll be able to make it to the SB at this point



We have to pray they start improving and peak at the right time

I guess the optimist can say we didn't hit our stride in 08 until later....but I think theres just as much of a chance it goes the way of 09

How good would Deshea Townsend look right now as our nickel back than William Gay

They double teamed Ocho most of the game, when they went to double TO, the tightend and slot reciever had a lot of receptions, so they had to change the coverage again. The bengals have a lot of weapons, be happy it was only 21-27, could have been worse.

I agree it gripes my ass when an offical who has the play right in front of him does nothing. Then some dipwad 10 or 29 yards away throws a flag. The officating is getting worse!
