I’m starting to think those “World’s Best Mom,” and “#1 Fan” novelty license plates are meaningless.

That DPI non-call was fucking ridiculous.

Man. This Bengals game has been really deflating. Being down two big names in the secondary and both WR1 and WR 2 is brutal. And now Tee Higgins is down. This feels like an avalanche of misery.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
That feels like game over for the Bengals. With more than 6 minutes to go, it just feels like we can stick a fork in them.

Burrow seems off somehow today.

This Bengals team is weird. When they're winning, it often feels like they're losing and, when they're losing, it feels like they can win.

That red zone interception was ugly.

Jet sweeps rarely seem to work for the Bengals.

The Jaguars just look like the better team right now. The Bengals have not looked particularly bad, but they do not look good.

That facemark on Ja'Marr Chase was brutal. It was horrible to watch the replay. I hope he's okay.

2026: The Bengals really need to win this game to...keep pace with...THE BROWNS.

3rd-and-18? Awesome. Giving up 23 yards on that 3rd-and-18? Not so awesome.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The Bengals "trusting their defense" feels like a new development, isn't it? Having a solid, field-flipping punter in Ryan Rehkow certainly helps, too.

Anytime I see or hear someone refer to themselves as a MILF or DILF or some other IFLy monicker, the grammarian in me is, like, "shouldn't that be 'MYLF?" Otherwise, I mean, the implication is...different...

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The Bengals are precariously thin at safety today...

Grocery prices go up, self checkout becomes more common, and cashiers become less common. Supermarkets are following the airline model of doing everything to make people uncomfortable.

That was a bad fumble, but special teams lost the game today.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
What a sad way to end the game. Jesus.

My god. What the hell, Bengals?

Dear Bengals, Please don't lose another game in which you score 33 or more points. Love, Your Fans

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Good lord. The Bengals defense REALLY came through there. Big time.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Jesus. Special teams is killing the Bengals today.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Okay. That Gesicki TD was pretty wonderful.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Roughing the punter leads to 7 points. An absolutely devastating turn.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This game better be a wake-up call for the Bengals.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This is one of those games where a lead for the Bengals still feels like they're losing.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
That roughing the kicker penalty fucking KILLED the Bengals. Jesus. What a stupid play.

JORDAN BATTLE!!!!!!!!!

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
My God. The 2026 Bengals are looking like last year's squad. Great offense and a nearly non-existent defense.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This Steelers game has got to be a wake up call. Halftime adjustments HAVE to be coming.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
It took the Bengals until halfway through the second quarter to force a 4th down. Ouch.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
All we need now is for it to get chippy.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
When the Bengals' defense looks leaky, I just call it an "Al Golden Shower."
010
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Right now, we need, like, a 99 yard pick-six or something.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

Al Golden really needs to make some BIG adjustments. This is getting ridiculous.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The Steelers' offense looks unstoppable right now.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Okay. That Bengals drive looked REALLY good. Exactly the way to answer Rodgers's masterclass on the Steelers' opening drive.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Seriously. Rodgers and the Steelers cut through the Bengals defense like a hot knife through soft butter. That has GOT to change or else this will be a looooooong day for my team.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The Steelers looked dangerous as hell on that first drive. Jesus.
000
Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Commentators: Rodgers and the Steelers are really struggling thus year. Steelers: Gash the Bengals for 31 yards on the first play. Ugh.

Do they forgot or do they simply believe what they want to believe?

With the Bengals game on today, I can pause my marathon grading session. #academicsky #EduSky #Bengals

The Venn diagram of men who trashed the WNBA for years and men who are deeply concerned about trans women athletes destroying women’s sports is very nearly a perfect circle.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
There are really people who think like this: The possibility of a trans kid on a sports team? “Aaaaaaaah nooooooo!!!! The horror!” Bombing schools with children IN them: “Well, it had to be done.”

When people say this Bengals team reminds them of the 2021 group, I didn't think the offensive line would be the unit that felt the closest...

We Bengals fans have a real one in Evan McPherson.
