I would have liked to have seen a few more replays....Too bad Belichick burned those timeouts. Awful, awful coaching in the final 3 minutes......I feel bad for you Pats fans. That's a tough loss to take.
We'll gladly take his mumbling ass back in Cleveland. You guys will probably get your rematch in the AFC championship game.And of course, his hein-ASS can't answer a legitimate question at the postgame presser.
I don't care if Faulk score a 72 yard TD, it was still a D-U-M-B coaching decision!
The last time I recall a coach making such a horrendous fourth down decision to go for it- Barry Switzer in 1995.
When that play happened, I immediately had a flashback to that.

No, your not the one .... HDMM did and I 'm not sure if others have .
Just seems like a stupid thing to say seeing they are only a game back in the conference view of things, Cincy is now 2 ahead of the Steeler's, but that means nothing in the Conference other than Pittsburgh won't have home field if they play Cincy.
You Bengals fans are making it sound like the Steeler's with this loss would be OUT of the playoffs, IF the season ended today.
Current standing show that the following teams would make it:
Indy 9-0
Cincy 7-2
New England and Denver at 6-3 as division winners.
Then it would come down to 2 more teams Pittsburgh and San Diego at 6-3, Steelers get the 5 spot as they beat SD already.

The fourth-down gamble/blunder, IMO, could really loom large depending on whether the Colts or Pats have a higher playoff seeding in the AFC.
The Bungles...er...Bengals played a hell of a defensive game and did great on special teams.
Steelers did terrible on offense and special teams but they did great on D IMO.
I don't blame Belichick for wanting to go for it. They outplayed Indy all night and deserved to win the game, but their defense was gassed. The Colts went through NE's defense like a hot knife through butter on the previous drive. You know what would have happened if NE punted. Where Belichick screwed up was burning a timeout before the play and tipping his hand. If NE came out in a punt formation, as everyone expected, the Colts would have had a return setup. That would mean everyone for Indy would clear off the line after the ball was snapped. If the Pats had run a fake punt they could have easily picked up the 1st down. And if they failed at least they'd have a timeout left to keep some time on the clock. Belichick had the right idea, but it didn't work.

Today was a crazy day of football.
The Bengals got a statement win, the Jaguars and Dolphins pulled off last-minute wins, the Rams gave the Saints everything they could handle, the Redskins silenced their critics, the Packers may haved save their season, the Raiders and Chiefs set the passing game back 70 years, and the craziness of Indy/New England.

Redskins silenced thier critics ????
They are 3-6, you really think thier critics are done with them ?
They have Dallas twice yet as well as New Orleans, Philly and SD yet.
Absolutly not! Game over!
If the 30 was the goal line it would of been a TD, the referee's is also to faulk's back so if you want to go out on a limb and make that call you better be sure you know when he possesed it and he doesn't, he was just playing to the colts bench.
I might not agree with the decision to go for it, but I understand it.

It seams they are thinking the same with Pittsburgh too......
There's a ton of football to be played yet.
Hmm. Maybe 'ol HD wasn't so crazy after all when he predicted that the Stools would miss out on the playoffs.
On another note, how bout them Bengals! Wow. Color me surprised on that one.
I hear what you're saying about Palamalu, but it wasn't your defense that lost you the game, it was your offense not being able to put it in the endzone and your special teams giving up huge plays. Palamalu or no big frizzy haired safety, the Bengals beat your team fair and square.
