Bears defence have 5 sacks so far on Rodgers, can't get anything going on offence.

Something Worse · « **Reply #53681 on:** September 6, 2019, 03:32:23 am »

Don't worry lads, I picked Green Bay to cover the 3pt spread as underdogs, Chicago will win by 4+.

Well the Bears finally did get some offence going but gave dumb penalties away for delay of game, on of which on 3rd & 5, & failed to convert having gone for it on 4th.

Game has been a stinker

Statto Red · « **Reply #53684 on:** September 6, 2019, 03:52:25 am »

Lol how many penalties do the Bears want to give away, was 1st & 40.

stevo7 · « **Reply #53685 on:** September 6, 2019, 03:53:24 am »

Bears can;t move the ball.

This is one of those games that's so bad it''s good.

Something Worse · « **Reply #53687 on:** September 6, 2019, 03:59:00 am »

I love a good defensive struggle.

This isn't a good defensive struggle.

Statto Red · « **Reply #53688 on:** September 6, 2019, 04:21:05 am »

Sums up the Bears night on offence, Trubisky just got picked in the endzone.

Mr F · « **Reply #53689 on:** September 6, 2019, 05:29:51 am »

After the Super Bowl and then this game, I can't say I want to watch anymore defensive masterclasses in a while.

Was not expecting to wake up to a win. I’ll take it but without knowing anything about the flow of the game it feels like it was a horrendous slog and GB probably got lucky. More Bears losing it that GB winning it. Fair?

More "both teams were awful but GB scored a TD" haha, neither team looked good.

10-3.

the season can only get better from there I guess! once again, fair play to the bears for seemingly refusing to have good qb play.

That folks is what happens when preseason isn’t taken seriously.

Terrible terrible ballgame.

Proper stuff starts with the Patriots on Sunday

They never do. Jay Cutler owns most of their QB records. Bears defense was very good, but Nagy and the offense lost that one. They have Denver away next so 0-2 start is possible

Bears were favourites to make the playoffs, but play offence like they did they'll finish nearer to the bottom of the division, than having postseason games.

don't think anyone's in danger of being allowed to forget that. or that they traded up to get him.

That's fucking hilarious.

Garrus · « **Reply #53705 on:** September 7, 2019, 02:20:10 pm »

Trubisky's alright. Not great but workable. But yes, trading up to get him ahead of Mahomes and Watson looks so bad right now.

Playcalling was really bad. They only ran the ball 12 times or something. The one drive where Trubisky seemed to get himself going, 3 penalties were racked up. Defense was pretty good. The kicker was 100% accurate too!

Going to be a tricky division to get out of though!

The AB thing is beyond a joke now. I still think there's one last twist left and he doesn't suit up on Monday.

Then they fined him $250k and now he's demanding to be released.

Classic Raiders.

Rob K · « **Reply #53707 on:** September 7, 2019, 02:42:34 pm »

You were right with that

I just been reading they fined him and voided $29m guaranteed money in his contract and he’s now put up an instagram post with the hashtag release me

Whoever is managing him is trolling for a move

Hearing Gruden whispering him sweet nothings and calling him the most misunderstood guy in the world you realise how desperate and weak the raiders are coming across. I’m sure he’ll end up with whatever he wants

Turned out to be a great trade for Pittsburgh tho!

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #53710 on:** September 7, 2019, 04:16:51 pm »

Spotrac@spotrac
Antonio Brown’s $1M signing bonus was actually two $500,000 workout bonuses that required he attend at least 85% of the offseason program. He didn’t, so he’s already lost $500k. If he’s released prior to Week 1, he’ll leave Oakland with $0 cash earned, & $0 dead cap.

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
In addition to fining Antonio Brown $215,073.53 for conduct detrimental to the team that voided $29.125 million worth of guaranteed money in his contract, the Raiders sent Brown a letter that he no longer will be entitled to termination pay if they release him, per sources.

To be fair all he said he wanted was guaranteed money. And he threw it away before playing a single game.

Just an FYI for those of you who like a flutter, I noticed in Bet365 the odds for players to score two TDS or more are really good.

Leveon Bell 7-1, Ingram 8-1, Ekeler 9-2 etc

Put a little accumulator on myself (Bell,Ingram,Chubb) 25 returns 8k. If they all score first half might be a decent cash out.
