[Bengal Cat]

The story of this game was the Bengals inability to take advantage of field position early and their inability to take advantage of Parkers fumblitis late. They had a chance to put the Steelers away early with the field position they had and Big Ben crying about the ball being wet. Pittsburgh did every thing in their power to give the Bengals the game and the Bengals would not accept it. At this point Pittsburgh knows how to win and the Bengals are still trying to figure it out. As for the coaching aspect....I though John Madden said a mouth full right after halftime when he said......The Bengals came out with a good gameplan and the Steelers adjusted. Now its time for the Bengals to adjust to that. Well that adjustment never came. I don't understand why they didn't throw more underneath considering a) Carson was obviously off target and b) considering how the wind was blowing.

Pittsburgh is 9-3 and on their way to the playoffs. Congrats to you Steeler fans. But I think the knowledgable Steeler fans will agree with me. The Steelers aren't playing their best football right now (dating back to the Jets debacle) and they had better pick it up or they won't go very far.
