Moral victory for the Bengals today versus the Steelers?

[Voice of Reason]

Was today's result a moral victory for the Bengals? Playing in Pittsburgh and not playing very well and still just losing by one score while being cheated out of their last chance by the officials.

[Habib]

No.

[mcpapa]

No.

[GrantNKY]

No such thing. Leave the moral victories to the Browns.

[16thBBall Fan]

I hope we are past that now and should look at it we lost and we are not happy about it.

Moral Victory????? Come on VOR, I have too much respect for you to think you were serious with this thread.

 

If this was a moral victory then so was last years playoff loss

and so was 2005's playoff loss and so were both SB losses.

 

Moral victory? Humbug

[futurecoach]

No moral victory at all. This is not the bad Bengals of the 90s and early 2000s. These Bengals expect to win, so when they don't there is no moral victory.

[halfback20]

The Giants had a few moral victories last year.

 

They weren't enough to get them in the playoffs.

You know me well HB.

Any NFL team that has a moral victory should lose its franchise.

They are 3-10 in their last 13 vs Pittsburgh. I'd say the Steelers are well in their heads by now. More like hope they can win.

[OLD RAIDER]

The bigger question is how the Steeler line NEVER held, never pushed AJ Green into the wall after he was already out of bounds, ruled CJ Yuzomah's TD catch out of bounds, and finally did not see Tyler Boyd's knee on the ground before the fumble. And they wonder why we detest them so much.

[Samcro]

Heck no - can't believe this is even a topic. Seriously? I mean, seriously?

So that's the narrative you're working with?

 

Here's a better one: You guys should've cashed in in the first half on the turnovers while the Steelers offense was asleep. Our defense and special teams is what won that game. When's the last time the Steelers could say that?
