Since nothing went wrong yesterday I am going to nitpick. Because that's what we do at WDR. We bitch, we moan and we complain because we hate the Bengals and we hate you. Everyone knows this.
So what I am going to complain about? JT O'Sullivan. Specifically, Bratkowski's gross misuse of his legendary arm and charisma.
As funny guy and a**hole Steelers fan X-Mas Ape at KSK reminds us via this post written by O'Sullivan himself, it's already a national tragedy to see JT's talent going wasted on our bench. But to then not unleash his cannon when he does manage to get in the game constitutes a capital crime. JT laments:
Indeed, that is certainly not the natural state of Haymakers. And Brat, you sir, are guilty for this travesty.What is more, the thriving play of Good Sir Palmer has compelled my haymakers to reside in mothballs. I need not tell you that is not the natural state for haymakers. They ache for satisfaction, but I cannot grant them indulgence. Each night at rest, dreams show me targets for the haymakers, but the mighty arms are manacled to the wall.
Project Mayhem Task #5,345: Release the Haymakers!
"Since nothing went wrong yesterday I am going to nitpick." are you kidding me? you need to listen to yourself. If there is nothing wrong and the Bengals Win games what is the problem. All that matters in the NFL is wins. He is a second string quarter back and your complaining about him? How about you change the name to ChicagoBearsRevolution because it looks like they need it more than the bengals do right now. Since your from Chicago.

@WDRgo*yourself -- clearly this post went completely over your head. It's a joke!

@wdrgo*yourself -- are you kidding me? you need to listen to yourself. if there is nothing wrong and the bengals win why would you even come to look at this website? all that matters to wdr is putting together a competent front office that may, just may, some day provide cincy with a PROFESSIONAL football team. everyone gets lucky every once in a while, that's how the law of averages works. the law of averages also says 18 years of no playoff wins is pretty much impossible.

Holy s**t. This just proves our point here at the Revolution... the only people that still have a problem with it (being the Revolution) obviously have no memory past 2 months ago, and probably never graduated High School... he was probably like "... theyve been reading my posts! finally they admit they hate us!!!" bahahahh!

For the general douchery that Christmas Ape brings to this blog on a semi-regular basis, that was still surprisingly funny. Good stuff.

Quite the pisshead there.
Did Brat lose his glasses on Sunday? Was he reading the playbook upside-down? Whatever he did, I hope he learned something from it. It almost seemed like he wanted to win. Let's hope the family isn't too bored during the bye week and find a way to screw things up.
Who dey!

I don't think they did anything different with the playcalling other than the stupid Wildcat formation run with Benson.
It really was just execution. Carson was flawless, the Bears were flawful.
I don't expect it to continue... Brat's still a moron.

Golly jeepers sleeping with bienemy. U were writing a post to screw with people, but I thought u took it too far for anyone to find it credible. U must be having fun knowing that there is always a pissed off dumbass that's going to comment

It's similar to when readers of FJM used to go "Joe-baiting" on Joe Morgan's ESPN chats just to mess with Joe, only I call it "douche-baiting".

Yeah I think he called the same old plays as always. But the Bengals had great execution on them. I think it's cool that Brat was willing to throw in a wildcat play. Although it didn't work well, it kept the defense on their heels when they saw Carson go out wide. I was sure in shock too. But yeah, I don't think Brat changed much at all. I just think the Bengals did the best they could with what was given to them at the time. Weren't they running a no-huddle there for a bit on that first drive? That's always when we play best.

Your Bengali Tyger vainglory compels you to heap slander on superior electro-wryters and the squadrons for which they direct their huzzahs, but your squadron will occupy its prescribed station as bottommost to the Metallurgists of Pittsburgh.

Ape - stop being funny so I won't feel conflicted about hating you.

Once again, What an eloquent, well-written article.
I have missed reading this site...been working a lot,
But I have been attending the local bar-and-grill every sunday to watch the Bengals games ( there is an analog set and snow at my place ),
and I always wear my WDR T-shirt...all the young-and-dumbs there dislike it, but of course they're just a bunch of young fresh kool-aid drinkers...
...the manager there doesn't like it because it says "HIRE A GENERAL MANAGER" on it, in real big bold letters...I think he feels overlooked (his subordinates definitely feel that way)
Well, it's Bye week, that'll give em a break :)
