Oh I was and you can bet my husband was paying attention. The Steelers defense sucks.

I watched the game. They would have lost if not for those two thugs and their penalties. We’re a Steelers family and this game was painful, as many were this season.

I just hate that the game I love to watch is now primarily played by thugs.

thugs

Wish I had a dollar for each time I heard that term used tonight in reference to the game.

The Steelers defense did not suck tonight; you weren't paying attention.

McCarron was 21/43 for 212 yards. That's terrible in the NFL. The Bengals managed only 78 yards on the ground. The Steeler defense took a fumble to the end zone, only to have it improperly called back by the refs. The Steeler defense had only one lapsed play -- admittedly a big one -- for the last touchdown. The other two Bengal scores were entirely fueled by penalties.

The Steelers' much maligned defense did just fine.
