The #Bengals have scored 80–EIGHTY—points the past two weeks and they lost both games.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

You’ve got a typo here, James. You mention that the defense experienced “struggles.” I think you meant to say “total catastrophic failure.”

As it turns out, Lou Anarumo wasn’t the problem…

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

If you coach a team that scores 42 points and LOSE, you shouldn't have a job. Al Golden and Zac Taylor need to be fired. Duke Tobin should not have a job and, frankly, neither should a few of the players on the #Bengals defense. A complete failure on defense.

A few weeks ago, I would have been upset by this #Bengals loss. I'm back to expecting this now. The team has come full circle in the Zac Taylor era.

Oh, look: ANOTHER instance of Zac Taylor ripping failure from thje jaws of success.

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 3d

HATE that sequence for the Bengals. Once the intentional grounding flag is thrown, Zac Taylor should've gotten the kicking team on the field. It was 4th-&-13. Instead, they waited and had to rush, snap came as the play clock was expiring. Evan's kick is short. Unnecessary chaos.

#Bengals scores this year, so far:
17-16 win (Cleveland)
31-27 win (Jacksonville)
10-48 loss (Minnesota)
3-28 loss (Denver)
24-37 loss (Detroit)
18-27 loss (Packers)
33-31 win (Steelers)
38-39 loss (Jets)
27-31 losing (Chicago)

5 of 9 games giving up 30+ points is unacceptable.

Caleb Williams could retire and start a family, raise the kids, and send them to college in the time the #Bengals are giving him.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

The #Bengals are somehow about to head into halftime with a lead after getting outplayed for the entire game.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

That was great. But I just don’t see the defense holding the Bears off.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

It felt over before it started. I’ve not been this discouraged by the team since 2019.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

I haven’t felt this uninspired by the #Bengals since 2019. And that’s despite some really great performances and solid play from Joe Flacco.

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 3d

Multiple Errors Have Cost the Bengals Points So Far:

An Illegal Contact Penalty on Demetrius Knight Jr That Extended the Bears' First Possession

Chase Brown's Drop on 3rd-and-6

DJ Ivey's Offsides Penalty That Turned a Missed Field Goal Into a TD.

The Bengals trail 14-10.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 3d

The Al Golden shower has begun for the #Bengals. Just a massive barrage of runs with little-to-no-resistance.

Good people do exist! Thank you, Jessica.

If someone tells me they can't vote for a Democrat because of a valid logical or ethical position, I don't spend my energy shaming and insulting them. I stand with them and exert pressure upwards. That's what allies do. If you're not doing that, you're making things worse.

Some of these companies are likely preemptively giving into glorified extortion.

The phrase "I am going to take a shit" must be a tough one to learn for people who do not speak English. I mean, taken literally, it refers to the opposite of what we generally hope to imply. It's more like "gathering manure" or "cleaning out a litter box" than emptying one's bowels.

WHO DEY!

I kinda like the idea of bringing Brian Callahan back. I mean, maybe he could inject some life into Zac Taylor’s playcalling.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 23d

I think it would be worth considering.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 23d

Watching some Democrats continue to blame Jill Stein is something else. To not see the same misogyny they decry as factoring in their own recent losses in such scapegoating is disheartening.

It took a while.

Erik @egveitikkje.bsky.social · 25d

Yes, but to be fair, they didn’t really report on the health of the last guy, either.

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 25d

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

AI overviews are so stupid sometimes. For instance, I looked up information about passengers traveling on cargo ships and the AI summary included this long-winded thing about how there is "less luxury and all food is prepared by Filipino chefs."

Oh, I get it now. Republicans want a smaller government so they keep shutting it down. There's nothing smaller than zero.
