The crowd tonight at Paul Brown Stadium is 65,614. It is the second largest preseason crowd in franchise history, second only only the 65,615 for the Green Bay game in 2006.
Nothing against you Mark, but really, what was the attendance at the game? We know there were not that many fans there and the only reason you have that number was due to the paid ticket count that the season ticket holders get ripped off for anyways. The NFL is getting over with making the season ticket holders pay full price for watching a scrimmage of players that will not even be on the team very soon. That is why most season ticket holders do not come down to watch and try to sale those tickets to make up for their loss. The NFL and the Owners should be ashamed!

The 65,227 (many disguised as empty seats) were treated to the Shayne Graham Field Goal Experience.
Seriously Marvin, you know Shayne can kick field goals. Why not go for it once or twice? Last time I checked, these games don't count.

The Bengal's defense needs Odell Thurman, Ahmad nor Caleb will not cut it
The Bengals defense needs Odell Thurman..... his play and intensity. Ahmad and Caleb will not cut it for 16 games.
