I’m staring down the barrel of a hurricane so I may for the first time in 14 years be autodrafting. I don’t know.

Luckily I’ve been watching Hard Knocks intently so I’ve set my picks for all Raiders players. *chef’s kiss*
I’ll think my team will be just fine guys.

Love getting Tunsil and Stills. We’ll probably have to throw alot this year with 2 trash RB’s since Miller’s hurt. But 2 players, 2 1sts and a 2nd is a TON. I like that we’re going for it. But O’Brien is getting robbed left and right. He better win the Super Bowl this year after this. We’ll be left with no picks soon enough at this rate.

Another blockbuster on cut day. Getting to be standard now.

At least we'll get the first pick. Knowing our luck Tua will stay in college another year.

I guess when you put it like this it isn't going to be too bad. Don't have any faith in them not f'ing it up though.

Yup, it locked at 7.30 so we can’t select them. I have also been burnt on it.
Just managed to get mine in in time. If you mention it in the chat when it's fill we can avoid picking whoever it was. Unless he gets autopicked of course.

My Bears start the season against the Packers tonight, at Soldier Field, hoping for a win but can't call our division this year, well, we can probably say Lions last.....

Guess the steelers knew what they were doing moving on.

Always struck me as odd that everyone assumed that the Steelers were stupid. I understood the criticism for not getting more for AB in the trade but the Steelers are really well run and have been for....literally decades....if the Steelers were the issue i think we would have heard about it well before last year.

Well, that was a bad first game. Not starting any starters in pre season sure looks like a good idea....some poor play calls and another poor performance by Trubisky.

Going to be a long season ahead, the only positive I can think is that we lost the Packers last season and then went 12-4.

Think the noise around the performance last night of MT is a little overblown considering the pasting we handed them last year at Soldier Field. Doesn't mean I don't think he had some poor throws in there but the O-line were shocking and penalties ruined numerous drives.

Run game was poorly managed, some of the play calling was far to cute for what was needed. Rodgers was stuffed for the majority of the game all bar one drive and the nail in the coffin field goal.

It'll be how the O fairs moving forward because the D pretty much picked up from last year, even with the change from Fangio to Pagano.

The issue with Mitch is that I don't have confidence he can make a call himself or even challenge Nagy, some of the playcalling last night was borderline amatuer. If we have a power kicker, why not let him take a punt at a 50 yard field goal rather than going for it, it was the 3rd qtr, we could've been within 1 point then.

Yet again we are going to have to hope and pray we can score from our D this season because the O line looks all out of sorts and we are only one game in. Hopefully they will start geling and getting better the more the play together but to only score 3 points in a home game is pathetic.

I just think that the O for whatever reason was badly off. Some semblance of balance is required in the NFL and Nagy totally got away from the run in the second half.

Snap counts are all over the place and unless Miller is injured I can't understand why he wasn't involved more as well as Montgomery.

Mitch needs to find his rhythm, he had some good games last year. The media out in Chicago are going overboard as usual.

Tough game next up against Vic Fangio and his Bronco's, looking forward to it - which I don't think many fans are - the joy of the game is being lost for some.
