The Steelers said they were playing their best football. Bengals fans quietly thought to themselves "you know, the Bengals are playing pretty damn well themselves right about now." And our boys in orange and black came through in Pittsburgh, as Carson Palmer improved his career record at Heinz Field to 3-2. And really, this game was won by the defense and the big men up front on offense.
It was, for the most part, a pretty even game. But in the second half it was the Bengals defense, led by backups Jonathan Fanene and Brandon Johnson (2 sacks, 2 tfl, 1 qb hit; 2 passes defensed, respectively) up front, and Morgan Trent and David Jones in the seconday (broke up key passes and tipped Frostee's interception ball) that closed the game down.
The Bengals gave up 41 yards in the fourth quarter, only 7 on the Steelers' final two drives, as the offense, powered by back ups Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard, milked enough of the clock on a 4:20 drive for 3 before the defense came back onto the field and gave Ben Roethlisberger no time and no open receivers. Carson took some knees, and the Bengals won.
There was not much offense in this game. Time of possession was roughly even. Both teams accrued 10 first downs. The deciding factor on the scoreboard was Bernard Scott's touchdown return with 4:26 to go in the first quarter, the only touchdown of the game. Frostee Rucker's superaware interception probably went a long way in securing the victory, as the Bengals defense won the turnover battle and shut down the Steelers when they had to.
Enjoy your victory, Bengals fans. Chant "WHO DEY!" in the streets. This is certainly a good year to be a Bengals fan.

No offensive touchdowns for Pittsburgh.
But, they’ll point fingers to “Troy was out”. Well, your offense let you down today Steeler fans. The Bengals defense outplayed your guys in every way. Pressure was great, coverage was great, there was no running game. Maybe the Bengals offense didn’t score, but this is a defensive football team. I just don’t want to hear the crap about how the Bengals didn’t deserve it, because the defense played GREAT.

You guys deserved to win this game.
Your defense played great. Good job Bengals…..the Steelers stunk it up today but you guys deserved to win this game. The first game I thought the Steelers outplayed you guys but the Steelers made some very stupid decisions on offense coming down the stretch. Regardless, you won both games and that’s how it goes. Enjoy. I would like to comment more about the game but I have things to do……like…..laundry and get some things ready to take to the cleaners tommorow……..like…..my SIX TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPION JACKET……you know how that goes Bengals fans…..you have to keep your SIX TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPION JACKET nice and clean………well, maybe you don’t afterall. : ) just poking fun…..enjoy the win guys.

a typical Mike Brown signing? that’s turned out pretty good for ya. I bet ye if you stuck LJ on a winning team that had an offensive line and that would motivate him….kinda like when the PATS signed your former running back DILLON……look what he did….he ran over people for two years and won a SB.

I disagree, which is what you want me to do.
But I will bet I have been to more stadiums on more game days than most of the fans in this site have, including yourself, and have found Steelers fans to be actually pretty damn nice at their stadium.
Of course, we have our home-grown douche fans, as does everybody, that goes without saying.
But when you step back, and look at the fanbase as a whole? a) the scene at Heinz Field is TAME, and b) the fans across the country are pretty damn cool.
Maybe it’s the fans you surround yourself with, or the part of the country you are in. And again, maybe it’s them responding to you. Life doesn’t exist in a vacuum…I’m just saying.

I just posted a few spots above about this....
But every team has their black sheep douchebag fans we wish we could kick out…and EVERY team does.
But to be honest, if they were a TRUE fan, they would be trying to adopt the philosophy of the Chief (Art Rooney) and behave in a way that is respectful towards other people, rgardless of age, ethnicity, social staus, or even team association.
All I can do is apologize and regret that you had to run in to the ’tards, but also that most Steelers fans are pretty damn clued in to how to act and respond.
Good game today, for sure, you earned it.

One other thing:
The only thing he said that was not truthful, was your name: Bungles. Your team did not “bungle” anything today, and you came away with the win. Try to stay classy in victory. True character comes out in both defeats, AND victories. Try to show you have class.
His other points:
[] Regular season is regular season
[] Teams need to back it up in the post season.
BOTH are 100% true. If you do enough to get in the playoffs, then you need to back it up. Once you back it up, THEN you have ultimate bragging rights.
And true clssy fans with good character KNOW how to react, respond and interact with others in that time, and even if they lose atthat time. So take a cue from your own fans who DO have class, and try to be classy. Talk smack, rub it in, all that…but be adult about it.

Actually, if you read my other posts in this very thread, you'll see that I'm neither a troll, nor butt hurt.
And as far as not accepting losing, as you put it, I hope that I never do. Winners don’t accept losing, period, BUT….people with class and dignity and an education generally extend a heartfelt congratulations upon any defeat.
Ask LeBron how that’ handled, yes?
Before you go all Wild Bill Hickcock on me and shoot up the town and get it ready for a Steeler Fan lynching because I’m in “your” thread on “your” site, just understand who’s more level-headed in this.
I came offering congrats and respect; you shot back by blowing a load in your pants like you’d seen your first naked girl, and then blaming her for it.
Please…grow up, and be cool.
And learn what a “troll” is. I certainly wasn’t a “troll.”

But I have read other posts of yours. You may not be intent on it, but you do speak with a lot of passion for your team, so much so that you hate on us like everyone else does, not just on SB nation, but in the national media. We have put up with a lot of shit from fans and media alike that this year, the team has finally had enough and is using all of it to motivate us to get better.

I believe I said that.
And the seat Im speaking of specifically is the AFC North leader.
Not sure if you noticed, but we still have a little bit of football to play, and your savior has a hip flexor. (I’m not celebrating that, I’m stating a fact. I would NEVER celebrate a person’s injury, unlike some fans).
So here I am, owning up and letting you know I gave that qote you just referenced. That’s called “owning up” and “being a man” about something. And yes, good game today, very good game by the Bengals.

The Raiders training staff was notorious for not reporting real injuries
and Al Davis did not want to reveal the extent of the injury because he wanted to make teams he would face later in the playoffs game plan for Jackson. I think Ced will be fine.

We don't burn our towels after a loss. And especially one to the Bengals.
Anything lost there can be made up.
And the Terrible Towels people own in Steeler Nation are PURCHASED, not given away (ala the Broncos lame pom-poms that were left on every seat before the game, or the Titans white towels that were left on every seat…)
We keep our towels. I still have the one I was waving in Heinz Field the day we were beaten by the Patriots AND Jaguars in the 2005 regular season.
It was the same towel I was waving after infiltrating Invesco Field in Denver for the 2005 AFC Championship game thrashing of the Broncs.
So we keep ‘em. This loss hurts, but it’s not devastating by any means.

I don't pay a lot of attention to what Peter King says...
Just look at his…or any, really…prognosticating “experts” say, and they are usually closer to wrong than right.
If I were ranking this weeks power rankings, I’d HAVE to plave the Bengals above the Steelers.
Would I BELIEVE it? Not at all. But I would do it because I would feel like, until the Steelers put up or shut up THIS season, it’s THIS season’s power rankings…and the Bengals didn’t bungle it.

From a Steelers fan:
A big letter of conratulations to you guys. Big road win for you, you swept the regular season series, and your team played well almost all the way around.
I thought Ben was off all day, and that was the key to the game. I have to say though, I don’t like when other teams fans and media say that the player was off, and never give credit to the opposing side of the ball, as if that player that performed poorly was playing in a vacuum. The Bengals defense stepped up, bent but didn’t break, and did just enough to stave off some very important red zone threats. Big ups to the Bengals D.
As far as who’s better, c’mon…I’m a Steelers fan! I’ll maintain that overall, the Steelers are better. Of course I will. I would expect you, right now, to fully believe you are better, and to be honest, if I were an Alien just coming down and looking at things today, right now, I’d see the Bengals at 7-2, and the Steelers at 6-3, and the regular season series swept by the Bengals. Bottom line: you earned this game. Cannot even try to take this away from you. Good day to be a Bengals fan.
Thankfully, I’m a “homer” fan, and I love my Steelers. :) So don’t trash me for sticking to my roots. Gracias.
So very good win for you, and this just makes this rivalry that much better, not to mention the stretch run of this season. I wish you nothing but what you earn the rest of the way, no injuries, and kind refereeing.
Respect,
Dug

I just wish that would have rubbed off on the Steelers fans that cheered for Palmer’s injury in 2005.

Oh, as for Palmer's '05 injury....
I personally can’t relate to cheering for Palmer’s injury. Yes, I’m a USC fan, but it goes beyond that. I would hope no person would cheer willingly for another persons misfortune. Even if it benefits your team. That, to me, lacks class like nothing else.
And, just for the recod, as for that injury, I can’t see how Bengal Nation continues it’s Hate campaign against Kimo/Steelers for that injury. We’d NEVER order that to be a strategy to beat anyone, and certainly Kimo showed his concern for Palmer’s injury immediately. The dude was devastated that he was involved in a play that ended up seriously injuring a former teammate and friend. Both Leis and Palmer were both on record in many different sources saying Kimos’ hit was not intentional, and it was a “football play” that went wrong.
I’m not so much stirring the pot, but wondering why Bengal Nation, it seems like to a person, still thinks that was intentional and malicious. Even that Chidwick dude (write for the Cincinnati Enquirer?) stated as much, AGAIN, this week. I’m sure many of you read that one (“Steeler fans, back off”). Talk about uninformed and inflammatory. Senseless writing, and irresponsible as well.
Anyway, I’ve just always been bugged by that. Maybe we can visit that another time…for now, I relaize there’s celebrating to do on your side. Enjoy.

It wasnt intentionally and I dont think many of us believe that
Many fans just had to try and find a way to explain that happening. It seemed so devastating like a perfect storm and the only other conclusion to draw was we are cursed.

It wasn't an attack on you...
it was an attack on several dousches I saw cheering for Palmer’s injury. I don’t think Kimo meant to – but at the end of the day, he went low needlessly, and now the rules have changed. Kimo was clearly disappointed that he injured Palmer, so there was no intent there.

to put it simply, I don't hate the Steelers, I hate their fans.
ok, I do hate the Steelers, but not to the point where they get injured. Honestly, a fan base that will cheer for a knee injury or a broken jaw predicated on hits that just toe the line of illegality deserves to have that paid back in some way. I’m not saying its you, but I am fairly sure you know several fans that cheered for Palmer’s injury. Those fans deserve, not only a punch in the crotch, but a season where they watch their favorite player go down to injury. I won’t enjoy or cheer for the injury but, boy oh boy, would I relish the Steeler fan reactions when that injury actually occurs.

Hate
I don’t think hate is something needed anywhere, much less in sports. I mean, what word is there to describe that emotion? Hate’s something you’re unlucky to truly feel once in your life. To feel it towards an entire group of people because of their football-related actions? That’s scary. Maybe it’s just a word, but maybe it’s a word that’s used in all the wrong situations.

And yes, I have talked some strong trash in the past, and other than a couple times where I got pissed off at one or two of your posters insults, I’ve tried to remain heated, engaged, intense, but within the lines of decency. :)
You guys played a damn good game today. Just understand (and I know you do) that after a loss, it’s fun to poke, but don’t expect the wounded animal not to want to bite back. ;)

Speaking of players we'd like...
I’m a huge USC fan, so yes, Carson is a great player, always liked him…of course, Troy…many others….
But what I would give to see Rey Mowawoawoaloooooga lining up every practice learning from Farrior, and teaming up the middle together…
I was amazed and horrified watching him fall in the draft the way he did…and knowing the Steelers were trying to fill needs elsewhere. I KNEW someone like Cincy or the Purple Browns would pick him up, and there ya go…
You have a great young player there that’s a Pro Bowler for a decade. Easy.

I just wore my colors and it instigated rage. I live in Findlay, which if you know your team is Roethlisberger’s hometown. Accept the loss. It could have gone either way. You played a good game, but Ben lost it for you.

great stat
It was only the fourth time since 1970 the teams met when both had winning records during the second half of the season. The Bengals have won all four (2009, 2005, 1990, 1981), each in Pittsburgh.

PS. 58 , the steelers fan, I think you are respectful and enjoy reading your posts, alot of people (on every teams fanbase) are rude and vulgar towards each other, especially online, its easy to act childish when your hidden. btw, great game

Bratkowskie
It know this won’t be a popular opinion but, the key to the game may well have been our OC outcoaching their OC. While it wasn’t great, Brat was able to find some opportunites against their Defense. Pittsburgh was never able to dial up a play against our defense when they needed one. I’ve cursed Brat as much as anyone but, credit where credit is due.

Both offenses looked bad
I say it was two great defenses. Two great schemes. We made adjustments (not a great many) and found some sucess. Their OC never adjusted to our D.
