PrintI know some of you are chomping at the bit. After all, the Bengals will play their first preseason game of the year Sunday night. Yes, yes. Even though it's a meaningless preseason game, its nice for the Bengals fans that were unable to visit Georgetown to see the rewards of their excitements that's built over the offseason. In the meantime, here's an open thread to get ready for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

First comment!!!
Man, I am pumped for this season!
Year of the Tiger!
I’m pumped to watch the 2nd and 3rd stringers get out there. Let the games begin!
2 at the most.
But I want to see Jordan in there with the 1st stringers. Just to see what he can do with the 1st unit. We all know what JT O’sucky does with the 1st unit…
Ready to see me some young guys play!!!
Shipley, Simpson, Ghee, etc…….

It may be a preseason game
and meaningless in terms of the win/loss columns, but with the depth that this team has and all the position battles going on, I’m really excited to see it all unfold. Haven’t been this pumped for a preseason game in………well, maybe ever. Receivers will be fun to watch, as well as the Dbacks. Sears impressed me at camp last week.
A few things...
Congratulations Dick LeBeau on your induction and your speech. True gentleman and sad that his greatest coaching achievements didn’t happen in Cincinnati. Fair dues to the Steelers by bringing their roster and showing their appreciation to a true great. Hopefully they stick around in Ohio to see the best team in the AFC North.
Outside of today’s game, it would be good to know where things stand regarding negotiations for the 2012 season and beyond with some key players. Let’s not make this a one-season tilt at greatness with a roster that can be upheld next season – Benson, JJo, Hall and Lewis contracts being resolved before the 2011 season starts would make this a generation to remember, not just a season.
And to James Walker. It must be great trying to be popular after dissing the Bengals for over a year. The records last season don’t lie and get used to brown-nosing people you disrespected for a long time.
Whatever happens, to all the serious Bengals contributors on SBNation, I wish you all the best for the forthcoming season. Let’s make use of this extra pre-season game to chisel the 53 to go all the way! Go Bengals!
At last my friends football is upon us
Im so freaking pumped I could…..I could…… I dont know, I want to hit somebody!!!!

Good news!
Matt “Epic Fail” Millen thinks the Cowboys are the better team.
http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2010080851/2010/PRE0/cowboys@bengals/watch?module=HP_cp2
Ummmmm, I freakin wonder why either of
those two are not coaching anymore in the NFL. Especially Mora…. They don’t know their A$$hole from a hole in the ground. Could it be that?
Millen is an idiot
He can’t even go to Michigan for the rest of his life, them Lions’ fans will kill him.

kicking game
Every one knows how tough it can be to score td’s in the red zone. No one seems to be concerned with fg kicking? Who our new kicker is (and if he can consistently make it through the uprights) and pass protection are my two major concerns. If those two pan out then sure, the sky is the limit. Yeah, it was tough seeing Graham miss some critical one’s, but the fact is he is one of the most accurate in the history of the game! I hope one of these guys pan’s out. Super important piece of the puzzle!
Is Nugent Good to Go?
I want to see plenty of both kickers. I’m concerned about the depth of kickoffs too since neither guy is known to be great at it.
I just hope either one is better than Shank

preseason and waivers
The pre-season will tell us who deserves the spot and, if not, other teams only keep one fg kicker so some talent will be on the waiver wire. Not too worried.
We should sign a Arena football kicker
Those guys kick through them little uprights

I'm excited for you guys
Although it may be just a preseason game, I’m hoping to see you guys slap the self-acclaimed “America’s Team” all over the field. Also it’ll be funny to see if Ocho and/or T.O. have some anctics to make this typically dull game just a bit more entertaining……good luck!

But we lost Boozer, Korver, Matthews, and Brewer. Our beer is so watered down you get bloated before you get a buzz. And the mountain snow is pretty to look at in the winter, but it’s a bitch to commute through.

Yeah I remember when my dad took me to Riverfront for my first game. It was a special time. Of course easily accessible booze and loose women were not my concern back then.

They are building the Banks Project
right now. That should help with some activity on 2nd street between the Stadiums. I heard there will be some bars there.
Minus the hardcore douches and skanks, of course.
Although, I found out Cincy has a “Mynt” as well. How unfortunate.

Well thats a problem
I grew up in Chillicothe. Closer to Cincy. My dad was not a baseball fan, but I loved the Indians as a baseball team. My dad and I both loved the Bengals and Buckeye anything. I do hope the best for the Reds though.
Cmon you have to go for the Reds

He was lights out in college and was pretty good his rookie year. Then tank when he got hurt. But is supposed to be 100% now and can’t get it together.
