Who Dey Revolution Manifesto

  • Preamble

    IN THIS TIME of perpetual Cincinnati Bengals incompetence and futility, with zero playoff wins in the seventeen seasons since the WhoDeyRevolution Godfather, Paul Brown, passed away in 1991 and handed the team to his fortunate son, the Despot, Mike Brown;

    Introduction

    WE, the members of the Who Dey Revolution, in our fervent dedication to the Cincinnati Bengals and fanatical desire to transform our hometown team into perpetual Super Bowl contenders, call for a popular revolution of fans to demand comprehensive reform to the managerial decisions and approach of Cincinnati Bengals ownership, management, staff and players, and hereby call for the adoption of the following Who Dey Revolution Manifesto:

    Manifesto Demands

    THAT the Mike Brown, Katie Blackburn, Marvin Lewis, along with every other member of the Bengals management, staff and personnel, state publicly to all Bengals fans, “I will do everything in my power to help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl;”

    THAT Mike Brown will hire a general manager, drastically expand the scouting department and relinquish all control of player personnel;

    THAT all training, rehabilitation and medical facilities are considered best-in-class compared to other NFL teams;

    THAT the management fill the team only with players who fit the system, both mentally and physically, and are not reluctant to makes changes to player personnel when needed, regardless of cost or loyalty concerns;

    THAT offensive and defensive line depth is considered the top priority for all player personnel decisions;

    THAT all decisions made by ownership, management, staff and players, both on and off the field, are judged only by this criterion: “Does this help the Cincinnati Bengals win a Super Bowl?”

Bob Bratkowski must love Tecmo Bowl

So while at the Bengals-Browns disaster (which double as "season-killing game" and "the most boring football game in the history of man"), I watched the high-flying, high-powered Bengals offense take the field. 

And, was it me?  Or did the high-flying, high-powered Bengals offense run the same four plays the whole game? 

Chris Perry running slightly to the right.
Chris Perry running slightly to the left.
Screen to Chris Perry.
Dump pass to TJ Houshmandzadeh. 

Every drive seemed to go run, run, pass, punt (that's what the the first two drives were exactly like). 

So I'm wondering, does Bob Bratkowski play a lot of Tecmo Bowl?  Y'know?  The one where you picked from four plays to run?  You had four plays and that was it. 

Bratkowski ran the same four plays and that was it.  All day. 

Can we get this guy at least Super Tecmo Bowl?  That had eight plays on it (and you could pick from about twnety or so plays to create your eight). 

He could even have the quarterback yell, "READY!  DOWN!  HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT!..." 

Does Bratkowski know that most NFL teams have more than four plays?

At least, in Super Tecmo Bowl you, could run the flea flicker every other play. Unstoppable when, mixed with a big dose of james, brooks.

I heard Brat also thinks that the further Carson drops back, the further he can throw the ball down feild.

Also, don't forget, if the defense picks the exact same play (%25 chance) your offensive line gets blown up and if you attempt to pass, it is automatically intercepted.... Sooooo, looks like that's been happening all year.

Wheres Bo Jackson when you need him?
