At first when Butler got up and ran I was stoked. But in all reality it was better he got touched as it allowed us to drain more clock.

Good point. Then again, Arizona offensive line was having an increasingly difficult time stopping our pass rush--even when rushing only three linemen. I doubt Palmer could have taken advantage of the extra time if Butler had scored.

Not getting talked about a lot but this was a game where our coaches adjusted on both sides of the ball and it made a difference.
Dare I say we out coached them

Either way it worked out, or would have worked out.
Would have preferred the TD, as that would have put even more pressure on Palmer.
Ever since Palmer refused to play QB for the Bengals, I really do not care for him at all. But then again he wasn't exactly stellar there, so probably a good thing. LOL.

Well on here if we lose we got out coached, but if we win, those same naysayers will never say we out coached them. :laugh:

I doubt anyone could argue after observing what happened in the second half. Bruce Arians was certainly flustered by the end of the game--and I do not think it had much to do with his team's play or the officiating.

arians definitely let things get to him; a huge mistake. I agree that this game we did out coach the other side. sadly that is fairy rare

I had strongly felt that would bounce back after the Denver debacle. Turns out, I was right. Dak's a smart player who learns from his experiences.

Palmer received a lot of sympathy from me after that Steeler cheap-shotted his knee years ago, so I tend to be not as critical of him. :p

I can understand that, as I recall there was no penalty either. That, as well as other favorable calls the Steelers always get, knocked the Bengals out of the playoffs.

Steelers is my most hated team, even over our NFCE rivals.

"You have to stay aggressive and continue to attack for 60 minutes," Garrett said. "At that time, we needed to go drive the ball. We needed to score points."
