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?”

Yea, you know, god forbid the guy points out what EVERY GOOD FAN OF THIS TEAM KNOWS... And further, basically backs up what you folks stand for. Guy is speaking the truth, and do you really blame him for wanting out? Did you blame Carson? Give me a break. And lastly, No production? Maybe last year when Carson was obviously directed to force feed the ball to TO, but again, gimme a break, guy's the most proliifc WR this team has ever had... HANDS DOWN, nobody comes close. WAAAAAY off base. Everybody wants to hate because he has the audacity to open his mouth (and admittedly, sometimes insert foot). Shameful post. On the subject of Bobbo though, sweet, sacrificial lamb, Mike apparently opened his eyes and ears. Next up, bubble plans, groundbreaking begins 2020. Shortly after, Katie gets the GM nod from Mike fromo his death bed. ho hum

Once Chad became Planet Ocho, we'll call it sometime during 2009, it seemed like the off the field stuff became malignant and not benign with respect to his on the field performance. But yes, from like 2004-2007 he was about as good as it gets. It certainly feels as if he has worn out his time in Cincinnati, and that a change of scenery would be good for everyone.
And if he wants to talk shit about Mike Brown on his way out, I'll remember his time here all the more fondly than I already do.

If we insult Mike Brown enough will Mike get out of town? Keep talkin Chad, maybe someday he'll listen.

He had a bad year last year, but who on this offense didn't? There's nothing more interesting/dangerous than a man with nothing to lose. This could get interesting with Chad, and at this point, I think we're all rooting for an abject train wreck.
