The 2019 season kicks off tomorrow night with the Bears and Packers. Use this thread for regular season chatter. Or start specific game/matchup threads for bigger matchups.
I think Rodgers has a big "bounce back" season for his standards.

He was a victim of my wife’s fantasy killings lol
Antonio Brown is going to be suspended by the Raiders after “getting into it” with the GM. What a fucking clown.

Twitter was up in arms because in no other line of work could you tweet that about your boss or management and not get into trouble.

This would be perfect if he were still wearing black & piss. I serious have doubts that he wants to play football, period.

I wouldn't be surprised if he abruptly decided to follow through on that "retire if I don't get to wear MY helmet" talk after this. Seems like he's going out of his way to burn bridges right now.
Still wouldn't be surprised if that Burfict decapitation hit from the playoffs a few years ago smashed his brains so bad it's caused legit damage. Seems like he's rapidly gone from "fun/eccentric" to out of control insane since then.

He faked that, remember?

I think you have to have something to smash to damage it.
So who is Brown going to play for? If he’s on opening day roster he’s guaranteed $14.6 million.....if he’s released they ow him nothing.
How long before he’s on the Patriots? Cowboys?

He had a good situation in Pittsburgh. I don't know why any team would trust him.
This game is awful. Both offenses are bad.

Glad I’m not alone. Thought maybe it was that I’m a baseball guy
If they change this to offensive PI I may not be able to watch much NFL this year
Ok, took 3 min but GB lost a timeout
maybe teams shouldn’t forfeit the entire preseason then suck ass week 1.

Your boy, Mike Pettine, gettin' shit done with the Packers defense.
Both offenses looked terrible last night. It’s a shame there wasn’t 4 scrimmage type of games before this they could have knocked the rust off with
We say this shit every year, but this is going to be the norm for week 1. The CBA has done a lot to reduce the amount of OTAs, practice hours, practice with full pads, etc. Also, the Bears defense will probably make every offense look bad. As for the Bears offense, I just think Mitch sucks. S&L was pretty big on him, but I stand by calling him a game manager.

And one of the dolts on 92.3 was strong on drafting Mitch over Miles Garrett.

Mitch sucks, that much is obvious.
I read a PFF last year that he didn’t look past the 3rd of the field he ended up throwing to 73% of the time. Not the exact receiver, as some times it was a bunch formation and he went to the 2nd option still on that third.
But, for comparisons sake, the next closest was around 60% of the time. So, yeah...he stares down and doesn’t read a defense/field during the play at all. It appears he has not rectified that issue in the offseason as of yet.

That’s a serious habit....crazy he hasn’t improved that
There I was, all looking forward to the NFL season and really excited. And then I watched that abortion of a game last night. It's gonna take some work to regain that excitement by Sunday...
Now, AB will be playing Monday night and won’t be suspended.
