No doubt the Steelers are more talented than the Bengals, but Pittsburgh essentially spotted Cincy a 17 point lead with how terrible they played over the first two and a half quarters. Cincy straight up blew this game with stupid penalty after stupid penalty, and mistake after mistake. The Bengals definitely have the talent to beat Pittsburgh with a 17 point advantage; their inability to stop shooting themselves in the foot cost them this game. Also, really hoping Ryan Shazier is ok. Dunno if anyone saw the hit, but he led with his head trying to tackle some guy and couldn't move his legs afterwards. Really scary stuff. On a happier note, congrats to Dongo for securing the last playoff spot! I hope your entire team sucks next week. =p |
Idk good teams always have good tools to make a comeback. Bad teams always make stupid mistakes like those.
Take the last super bowl for example, a 17 point lead at halftime is nothing compared to that.
And in Super Bowl XLVII, the Ravens were ahead 28-6 and barely etched out a win 34-31.
And these are super bowl teams with supposed decent defense, so a Steelers (a playoff team) overcoming a deficit is no surprise to me.
To put it simply Bengals at #32 O and #14 D is nothing to the Steelers at #7 O (soon to be 6) and #3 D. That is a big mismatch for O and D especially, so the Steelers must have forced mistakes, and kept the 2nd half to only 3 points, thus winning the game.
