Time to brag about your most impressive "armchair coaching" calls

PrintEveryone does it, no matter what they say. They yell at Marvin, Brat, Mike Brown and just about every other decision maker on the team while they're making a tough decision. On occasion, you turn out to have been right. You then get that "I told you so" attitude and feel like you should be the coach, GM, owner, scout or any other position where you're the one calling the shots, not the moron that's in said position. With the season coming close and all of us getting antsy, let's all have a little discussion in which we gloat about discuss the calls we made, and tell everyone why we should be in a position of power with the Bengals.
Were you screaming at the Bengals to draft Michael Oher over Andre Smith? Were you angry when you heard Jerome Simpson's name called and not Desean Jackson's? Were you yelling at Marvin to put a safety deeper just before the "Immaculate Deflection" in the Broncos game? If you had impressive foresight on any of these matters or any other occasions involving the Bengals, boast talk about it here.

Oh, also.. Daniel Coats shouldn’t be on this team.

Sitting in my chair yelling
Don’t throw Coats the ball, don’t throw……ah F^&*K! They threw him the ball. Now we have to kick a f^&king field goal….. Go ahead and punt the damn thing instead.
I threw such a tantrum when we drafted Andre the Giant Blob
I knew he was a waste of a lot of space

lots of us were pissed at this
so many predraft red flags. But most people would have thought Oher was a reach at #6. Oh well the Ravens got a steal. I guess they could have drafted Monroe.
At the SF Game
My favorite one was at the SF game a few years back. I had the company club seats which were just below the Bengals’ coach’s box. This was the game with TO and Chad trying to one-up each other (I think Chad dug the sign out of the snow that game). Net, Rudi was rushing for something like 8 yards a carry in the 2nd half, we’re winning, but Bratkowski is still calling passing plays. I mean we were killing SF in the trenches, and we just needed to wear SF down and not give them a chance to beat us at the end (like that ever happens with that team….)
Late in the 3rd or early 4th Quarter after 3 or 4 consecutive passes, I turn around, look at the booth, and yell, “RUN THE DAMN BALL BRATKOWSKI!”
Whether he heard me, Marvin Lewis, or the ghost of Pete Johnson, I’ll never know, but we ran the ball 80% of the time the rest of the game.
There’s some armchair quarterbacking for you!
Oh, my other favorite moment — Boselli instead of Ki-Jana.
