The Bengals bungle big time..........

I'm a die hard Steelers fan. When Jone's pass was picked off, I knew the season was over. But not the case. Bengals fumble and the Steelers recover. I still thought the Steelers would lose, because they were looking at over a 50 yard field goal attempt. Then what happens, the Bengals get back to back unsportsmanlike 15 yard penalties, and the Steelers have a 35 yard field goal attempt and score.

Final Steelers 18 Bengals 16

Final should have Been Steelers 15 Bengals 16.

The Bengals have no one to blame but themselves.

Never seen anything like it.

I think Bill Cower fired Marvin Lewis after the game.

According to NFL.com’s Michael Silver, “several” anonymous Bengals players cited a lack of discipline among defensive players in games, practices, and meetings that has lasted all season long.

“Eventually, this (expletive) catches up to you,” said one player, according to Silver.

Another added: “You put up with enough (expletive) for enough time, guys think they can continually do it.”

Offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth went on the record, and while he didn’t blame Lewis, he made it clear that the lack of discipline was unacceptable.

Porter should have gotten flagged also. He was a punk as a player, now a punk coach.

Yes, I'm Alabama class of '63.
ROLL TIDE.
A.J. was a hard worker and team player at Bama.
I was happy to see him get a chance to start in a big game with the Bengals.
He had that game won and two asshole teammates torpedoed him.
crap
