Rolling over money under new CBA

A lot of people here complain about the Bengals rolling over money every year, but the fact is that some teams did not roll it over every year like the Bengals.  And some years the Bengals actually spent OVER the league salary cap because they had cap space to roll over.  So I have never panicked about rolling over cap space.  But now Mike is looking at a one-time "wipe the books clean" chance to pocket all that unused cap space.

And it just happens to happen the one year we are absolutely 100% in re-build mode.  When Marvin first came in Mike loosened the purse strings and signed a few quality free agents.  Not a lot of huge stars, but solid starters (John Thornton, Bobbie Williams, Reggie Kelly, Tory James, Nate Webster, Duane Clemmons, Kevin Hardy) instead of scrap heap signings.

Hope Mike decides to spend it all instead of taking the chance to never have to spend it.
From the media reports and pictures I saw, attendance at games was really terrible at PBS the last two seasons.  Of course the media could have lied and taken the worst possible times for their videos and pictures.  So if attendance was as bad as it looked, MB does have incentive, like any businessman when a business is losing customers, to spice things up.  Hire some excellent Olinemen for instance. Could this year be when some fear courses thru MB's veins about fans not showing up?

So those of you who went to games, I can't as I'm in the SF bay area, was attendance bad?
