Also officiating didn't win the Steelers that game, the Bengals short tempers and in ability to play discipline lost them that game.

False.

Steelers TD to Martavius Bryant would have come off the board considering once he re-clutched the ball to his thigh he did not re-establish himself with 2 feet in the field of play (arguably one of the worst calls of all time)

(Even Dean Blandino said this was not a catch - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2608276...tch-vs-bengals)

Giovanni Bernard is hit CLEARLY helmet to helmet and the Steelers recieve the fair hit call which turns the ball over to them late in the game. This also knocks Bernard completely out of the game, with no reprucussions for the Steelers. How are you gonna knock a man out cold via a helmet to helmet hit and have no flag?

When the Pacman Jones thing goes down, Joey Porter (A LB coach) should not be on the field yelling at our players. A coach being on the field without permission (I'd give a HC and arguably any offensive coach permission at that time) is a 15 yard penalty which offsets one of the 2 penalties making it a 45 yarder instead of a 30.

The Bengals had a very rough ending to the game, but it never even should have got to that point tbh. Take that TD off the board and add a FG instead and the Steelers need a TD at the end not a FG to win. Give us the ball back on the Bernard fumble and now we score at least 3 more points, potentially making it a 2 possession game.
