Preseason Game #1 - Detroit Lions (0-0) vs Cincinnati Bengals (0-0) - Open Thread

VS

The 2007 preseason is here already. Detroit kicks off its first game against the Bengals, meaning football is officially back in the Motor City.

We won't get a great look at the starters tonight since they will only be on the field for 10 to 12 snaps, but it'll give everyone a chance to see how the rest of the team performs. With many players fighting for a roster spot or position on the depth chart, every one of those backups will be playing as hard as possible.

Since this game is blacked out, it won't be on TV until 9:30. The pregame show starts at 9:00.
