Who Dey Revolution Manifesto

  • Preamble

    IN THIS TIME of perpetual Cincinnati Bengals incompetence and futility, with zero playoff wins in the nineteen 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?”

Jets Requested Bengals To End Season?

As we have talked about before here at WDR, the NFL will, at times, ask teams who they would like to play when opening or closing stadiums. 

Therefore, it's no surprise that the Bengals will end the season on the road at the Meadowlands to close down Giants Stadium against the Jets. 

Last season, the Cowboys requested the Ravens (rookie head coach and rookie QB, in theory) to play the final game at Texas Stadium.  The Cowboys lost 33-24 on a Saturday night NFL Network game, and subsequently went on to miss the playoffs.

You have to think that after taking into account who they would be playing in 2009, the Jets passed on New England, Indy, and Tennessee, only to request taking on a Bengals team who will likely be out of the playoff picture on January 3rd.

Hmmm: "Likely to be out of the playoff picture on Janurary 3rd." Are you harboring a secret 'The Bengals can actually win..." fantasy there? Realistically, they will be out of the playoffs the moment that they set foot on the field for the first regular season game next season. I guess that the 'formal' elimnation can only take place after the ninth game? No matter, they are done before they start so plan your insults early and often folks. Heaven knows... I did! hehe!

"Roger, its Pat Bowlen. Hey man, we lost Cutler to the Bears and their was nothing we could do about it. Asshole. Anyway, could you throw us a bone and let us and let us open against Cincinnati. We'd even be willing to go there. All right. Thanks man, I owe you one."
