Willie Parker needs to hit the bench. He's trying to give this game away! Another fuumble that luckily goes out of bounds. Time for Bus/Duce.

Staley going in....FWP can't be trusted the rest of the game. Done

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

WTF is happening to the offense?

 

[apalmer]

3 catches for Bettis today. Could be a record.

And Staley fumbles.

I think that's our 3rd fumble in 6 plays.

Exactly. Weren't the Bengals supposed to be the team done in by big game jitters? The Steelers are off their game.

Defensive rookie of the year with a pick.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Another pick by Ben -- Odell Thurmann. We cannot keep expecting the D to bail us out on turnovers.

 

[jonessed]

The Steelers just can't play in a shootout. Their offense isn't designed nor manned to compete in a high scoring game.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Steelers D...owned.

Rudi TD. Probably the dagger in the heart for this game. :(

Your all of a sudden on the outside of the playoff picture looking in as well.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

How your browns doin? Oh yeah, losing as usual.

 

[Warsteinner]

How your browns doin? Oh yeah, losing as usual.

Well since we'll both be home for the playoffs do you want to go watch them together?

[DrunkinDwarf]

Not over yet ... TD Ward

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Ben to Ward, TD. PAT will make it a 7 point game with 3 mins left...

 

[Warsteinner]

Should have done the shuffle again.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

I can't believe we're still in this game. 3 TOs left -- kick it away.

 

[DrunkinDwarf]

Good decision by Bill to kick it deep. C'mon D!!!!!

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

3 TOs + the 2MW left... CMON D!

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

CATCH THAT TROY

 

[Warsteinner]

Accept my apology if you turds come back and win this game now.

 

[DrunkinDwarf]

3 and out!

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

NICE! Penalty stops the clock and we save the TO. Cinci Punts with 2:37 left

Accept my apology if you turds come back and win this game now.

But, can I still come over and watch the Steelers in the playoffs?

What the hell, come over. Warsteiner will be on tap.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

That's game. Congrats to the Bengals...they deserve this one.

 

[roadkill1292]

Wow, watched most of this game split-screened with the Ravens ( :X ). Very impressive and determined effort by the Bengals in a hostile environment, with a lot at stake, against a team that really pushed them around the last time. They could be a big factor in the AFC playoffs (until they run into the Colts, that is).

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Do the North proud, Bengals.

 

[The Meathead]

Another Cowher-coached team chokes in the fourth quarter.

Class man, class. Man is this exciting. I was ready to talk a bunch of trash, but will refrain in response to this post.I lost my voice watching that game.

 

[DrunkinDwarf]

Tough game today for Steelers Nation. 4 turnovers did us in. Cincy played a great game and deserved the win. This just makes next weeks game v. Da' Bears an absolute must win! Keep the faith.

Well, as hard as it is to admit right now...*If* the Steelers don't make it I want Cinci to roll in the playoffs. It's not like they're the Clowns or the Ratbirds....and I'm a Marvin Lewis fan. You guys have a solid team this year.

 

[myhousekey]

Someone explain this to me. When Cinci had the ball 3rd and 13 with 2:43 to play, Palmer hit Perry in the middle of the field for 7 yards. There was a holding penalty called but Pitt declined it forcing Cinci to punt. The clock did not start running until Cinci snapped the ball on the punt. Shouldn't the clock have started running as soon as the ref set the ball and "wound the clock" since the holding penalty was declined?

No, I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but I believe the rule is that even with the penalty declined the clock is stopped....A flag will stop the clock whether it's accpeted or declined. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

 

[jonessed]

They will likely still make the playoffs. KC and SD have much tougher schedules down the stretch.

 

[Miggity]

The black and blue division moniker is going bye-bye. The AFC North will start building teams that can light it up on O, and defend the homerun ball.

 

[Big Papi]

Just had to chime in with a Who Dey!

If so, the Ravens have the biggest rebuilding job of them all. I can foresee them flailing behind Cincy for several years to come.

I guess this explains it:http://www.nfl.com/news/rulesdigest.html

With the exception of the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will be restarted following a kickoff return, a player going out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, or after declined penalties when appropriate on the referee's signal.

Fouls that occur in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter as well as the last two minutes of the first half will result in the clock starting on the snap
