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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Dear Bengals, Please don't lose another game in which you score 33 or more points. Love, Your Fans
Good lord. The Bengals defense REALLY came through there. Big time.
Roughing the punter leads to 7 points. An absolutely devastating turn.
This is one of those games where a lead for the Bengals still feels like they're losing.
That roughing the kicker penalty fucking KILLED the Bengals. Jesus. What a stupid play.
My God. The 2026 Bengals are looking like last year's squad. Great offense and a nearly non-existent defense.
This Steelers game has got to be a wake up call. Halftime adjustments HAVE to be coming.
