Yes, it hurts that the Steelers are out of the playoffs and the season is over, but they got further than many felt they would considering three weeks back many felt the postseason was out of reach after they lost to the Ravens and the Jets beat New England.
Instead, they beat the big bad talking Bengals after Cincy committed two stupid penalties, and Sunday in Denver they got close to beating the #1 seed in the AFC, having the lead for almost the entire day until the Broncos scored their only TD with three minutes left.
Despite getting close, it wasn’t long after the loss that the Bengals and their loud mouth players were tweeting how happy they were the Steelers were out of the postseason.
Thanks to the Sporting News, here’s a couple Tweets from Bengals players who sat at home today instead of playing.

While a lot of Steeler Nation has already responded to these losers, feel free to take a moment to remind these players they’ve never smelled a playoff win – and probably never will.

My takeaways from this game are this . Call it excuses if you like , but I’ll call them facts . Our offense , without Antonio Brown and Deangelo Williams and a quarterback that was probably 80% at best , was far to handicapped to do any significant damage in this game . Yes , the Fitzgerald Touissant fumble hurt the team , but if we have those two players on the field , we are on our way to Foxboro next week to face Brady and the Patriots . I truly believe that . With that being said , on the Denver side , Peyton Manning looks old and his receivers couldnt catch a cold in a room full of flu patients . Bottom line , the AFC championship right now looks like a rout with New England winning easily . As far as the Steelers are concerned , you know your problem areas and now you have an entire offseason to finally fix them . Lets hope they do . One last note on the Bengals . As I said before , football players have long memories and after losing LeVeon Bell , to a season ending injury and then nearly ending Bens season as well as nearly decapitating Antonio Brown , that target on the Bengals backs just got larger than ever . If they’re was bad blood before , get ready , because its getting ready to get alot worse . From the dirty cheap shots to fans throwing projectiles at injured players being taken from the field , the Cincinnati Bengals are a classless organization from top to bottom . A disgrace , to say the least .
