Who played football?

As for how it affects how I watch the Bengals I think I'm way less hard on the coaches and players than most on here.  I think I understand pretty well that a coach isn't an idiot if he calls a play and 10 guys do it right and one guy ruins the play.  And players don't always win their matchups.  The other team gets paid too.

I played a a very small school, and I realize that the coaches there see so much more in a game than almost all of us.  My coaches in high school were clueless.  I'll never forget going to one of my first film sessions in college and the coach showed us how a CB lining up with inside leverage on the receiver instead of outside lead to a long completion down the opposite sideline that did not even involve the guy who lined up out of position.  The entire defensive backfield had their adjustments affected by one guy lining up about a foot out of position. That ended up stretching open a gap in the coverage outside deep. Playing for those coaches taught me how little I really know about the game.

So I try to give NFL level coaches the benefit of the doubt when fans call them stupid.
