I lived in Cincy for three years and had season tickets for the Bearcats in Kelly's first year but I never made it to a bengals game. I drove by the stadium everyday to work and never got to see a game.... I am kicking myself now for missing it...
Went to the Bengals game today. We had seats at around the 20 yard line. All the way up at the last seat. The weather was fine, except for the amount of wind at that height.
Great crowd, fun times, but our offense is in need of a downhill threat.

I could see the Bengals taking a WR in the first and a qb in the second. Pike would be my first choice, but I also think Tebow wouldn't be a bad fit.
Here's what Chick Ludwig thinks...
Tebow is the ideal candidate.
NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay said it best in an interview on ESPN radio on Monday.
“If he’s forced to play his first two years, it’ll hurt Tim Tebow,” McShay said.
I can see the Bengals drafting him, grooming him and playing him when Palmer’s career in Cincinnati ends.
Don’t bet against it.

The only thing about both Tebow and Pike is the style of offense they played in college. The spread offense makes almost any kid look good. Graham Harrel for instance at Texas Tech broke all kinds of records. Guess where he is? CFL.
The difference is the complexity of it. Most the time in a spread offense you read one defender and blitzing and zone schemes are more complicated in the NFL. Most of the spread guys in college only make it to back-up roles in the NFL. Dennis Dixon, Brian Brohm, Pat White, Jamarcus Russel (eeh), Charley Frye, Troy Smith, John Beck (BYU), Curtis Painter, list goes on.
From what I remember not sure there are too many if any starters that were in the Gun most of the time in college. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Does this mean that these guys are not capable?? NO, but to draft them in the 1st two rounds is a big gamble.

I heard him say that Tebow has better hair than Kiper, does that count? What do you think, Wayne?

Who's it gonna be?
McShay: WR Dez Bryant
Kiper: TE Jermaine Gresham
Now this...
With that in mind, one prospect the Bengals are targeting in the first round is South Florida defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and defensive line coach Jay Hayes were present at South Florida’s Pro Day on Tuesday, March 30. Apparently, the two were so impressed with Pierre-Paul’s performance that two days later he traveled to Cincinnati for a visit with the team.
“The visit went well,” Pierre-Paul said early this week. “I can definitely see myself playing for the Bengals. I love the style of defense they play and could do a lot of things in it. I could rush the passer or stand up and play outside linebacker in their scheme. My game would be ridiculous in that defense.”
Pierre-Paul is a consensus top-15 pick and falling to the Bengals at No. 21 would be an unexpected gift. The Buffalo Bills own the ninth overall pick and brought the player in for a visit on Monday.

I'm hearing that @CareyCJ will work out for the #bengals next Tuesday. The Bengals still could use a TE, right? #bearcats

Dolphins Traded Ginn for a 5th round pick to the 49ers. I think Ginn is a return guy, but he has world class speed. Regardless if he can catch or not you still have to cover him and respect his speed. Stretch the D, get chad open! Think we could have takin a gamble on him. Especially for a 5th round pick. If it doesn't work, make him the return guy and put Quan Crosby in the slot. He showed a lot there toward the end of the season.

The Bengals' 2010 schedule, released today by the National Football League, features nationally televised night games on ESPN, the NFL Network and NBC.
Two of the three national games are scheduled at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 8 on ESPN's Monday Night Football, and the San Diego Chargers are slated to visit on Dec. 26 on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
The NFL Network game on the schedule is at the New York Jets on Thursday night, Nov. 25. It will be the first Thanksgiving game in Bengals history.
With two prime-time telecasts on the Bengals' preseason schedule, the club is slated for five total national prime-time broadcasts for only the second time. In 1990, the Bengals played one prime-time game in preseason and four in the regular season.
The NFL's flexible scheduling program is in effect for the season's last seven weeks, however, and six of Cincinnati's last seven games are subject to possible kickoff time and network changes. This includes the Dec. 26 night game against San Diego, and the Bengals? five 1 p.m. Sunday games during the last seven weeks could be moved to either late-afternoon or night kickoffs. In 2009, Cincinnati's scheduled 1 p.m. game at the New York Jets on the season's final Sunday was moved to prime time on NBC.
Cincinnati's Thanksgiving game this season is the one among the final seven that is not subject to change
For only the second time in franchise history, the Bengals will open the season with three of their first four games on the road. The first instance was in 1973, and the Bengals went 2-2 in those games, en route to a 10-4 season and the AFC Central Division championship.
Cincinnati opens the year on Sept. 12 at New England and will play the home opener on Sun., Sept. 19 against division rival Baltimore.
"As a defending division champion, we knew we were scheduled against the other three division winners in the AFC," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, "and today's release of the dates and kickoff times brings the anticipated challenges.
"We open with two games against 2009 playoff teams (Patriots and Ravens), and we will have the players' attention right away regarding having three of the first four away from home. We do get the payback of having two of the last three games at home, and you are looking for great support from your home crowd in those crucial finishing games."
The Bengals will play their season opener on the road for the fifth time in the last six years
