The Bengals are lucky to only be down 12. Steelers need to open this lead up while they can. 

Pretty rough first quarter statistically 6-1 on first downs the Steelers have double time of possession and the Bengals have had 2 turnovers and 4 or 5 mental mistakes and are very fortunate to only be down 12 the defense has not done to bad with the field possession that the offense has put them in.  

Finally a big time play by the offense! We need to come away with 7 here.

i loved the gutsy call on 4th and goal and not settle for 3. It's now 12-7 Steelers with still 10:37 left in the first half.

Big drive by the kid.  Bengals have to get him some help next year.

Is every flag against the Bengals.  8-0 teams will always get the calls.  Welcome to the NFL.

Big Ben is starting to get into a rhythm now. The Bengals are going to have to keep scoring. The Steelers now lead 19-7 with 7:23 left in the half.

Steelers are one of the most penalized teams in the league.

My point was they don’t get calls because they are 8-0 like you alluded to. 

TJ >>> JJ

I agree.

Steelers leading 22-7 at the half. The Bengals get the ball to start the 2nd half.

I did not say the Steelers.  All good teams get the calls.  Look at the Patriots for years.

Bengals just got hosed on two plays in a row.  Catch was in and Steelers fumbled.  Referees never blow the play dead that fast.  That is bull hockey.
