Young led that LB nicely, but he just couldn't hang on.

 

[timschochet]

Raiders-Bears kicking off right now.

I'm sure everyone else's reaction is same as mine: really GB, Dejuan Harris? I agree with another poster, really feels like a matter of time. I think the protection for Rodgers could hold back a rookie but I was under the assumption Lacy was a polished blocker too.

Lacy's blocking is good enough I think that it should not be a big problem for him.

Dejuan Harris was by far the best RB they had last year though. He is a pretty good RB. Quick and hard to find in traffic. Which is a nice COP to Lacy's brutishness.

It truly is amazing that some people still don't know what to look for in preseason games, and the definitive conclusions some of them make.

Sincere question.. what do I look for? What do I ignore? Thanks.

Look at Vector's #####.

Already fapped to that

 

[Vector]

Too bad that Gillette kid has such a baby face. He could have had a great endorsement contract with them, but sadly..... not going to happen.

wtf.

NFL network are idiots. KTLA is blocked for me up here in Canada... well, I can subscribe to it, but what fer?

 

[timschochet]

No Darren McFadden tonight. Dinged up already. Rashard Jennings is the starting running back. Doesn't look bad.

 

[Leonidas]

WTF is this ####. I have NFL Network. It says the game doesn't start for another 50 minutes. I tune in to NFL network and it's just news and people jabbering.

Seriously?

I try to look for chicks w/ big cans in the stands.

 

[timschochet]

Can't believe McFadden is already hurt. Jennings might be worth a very late pick up or WW stash.

Always look for who gets the work with the starters. From a Packers perspective this game showed that they are legitimately thinking of starting Harris. At the very least they were going to give him a shot. His average showing and subsequent injury probably did him no favors.

That brings me to Lacy. Last week he had the chance to run with the starters and more importantly with Rodgers. And he looked fantastic. Tonight the guy was working playing with a QB who's about to be out of the league and had defenders in his face from the moment he took the handoff. If anything his stock jumped tonight with Harris' injury.

And the other conclusion I saw multiple people making was to bump up James Jones and Jermichael Finley based on the amount of looks they were getting. Amazing how quickly people forget that come week 1 they'll be losing a lot of those looks to the Packers #1 and #2 WRs, Cobb and Nelson.

I also saw someone say that since Cobb isn't playing that he'll be dealing with his injury all year. Really? You make that definitive declaration based on sitting out a preseason game? It's just a biceps injury that is a mere pain tolerance issue and wouldn't so much as cost him a down come the regular season.

That's just a start.

 

[timschochet]

Matt Forte looks healthy.

Evidently NFL Network thinks their flagship program is more important than the actual games they cover.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

1.What happened to Mcfadden?

2. Vince Young with an impressive TD drive for GB.

 

[timschochet]

Bears offense looking good early. I think Martellus Bennett may have a pretty good year.

 

[Buffaloes]

just got a new kitten. Named Stanley after the Blackhawk win. Evidently loves football though. He's planted himself right in front of the TV and is watching intently.

Awesome! Keep us updated!!!

The announcer said he's not playing tonight because he got "dinged up" last week. That's all he said.

No details tim.... I'd like to see the game fresh

He is. Already nicknamed him 'little dude'.... when he gets in trouble I have to tell him the "dude abides"

 

[Kenny Powers]

I just looked at the boxscore. Is ex-PSU QB Matt McGroin seriously starting for OAK? No way

 

[cstu]

Why is Blanchard starting for the Bears?

it is fixed now--mistake.

 

[Vector]

Actually impressed with GB's second and thirds. Thought Seattle's would dominate and pull away here.

 

[silentcoach]

hello forte. who is that guy?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Tim Jennings is a better WR than Denarius

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Solid Blocking there from the Black Unicorn

 

[ang12]

For anyone wondering, NFLN has to wait until the CBS game is over.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Awful officiating in the GB/Seattle game. Awful call on a hit to Quinn at QB is just the tip, I think Seattle has around 235 yards in penalties today.

I hate all these bull#### rules.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Over/Under on Raider wins this year is 1.5

 

[psufans2]

Man is Masthay booming #### with hang time

 

[silentcoach]

i wonder if forte will come in next drive--will give some insight since bush ran first and second down in the RZ.

 

[The Kerminator]

Take the under.

 

[Leonidas]

As a Bears fan, I hope not. I don't see the need. He looked great, it's the pre season, it's Oakland (so he should look good)...call it a night?

i meant in terms of how they will use the two rbs, but I get what you're saying.

Bush looked good too- since you watch the Bears, what will the distribution be? 70-30?

 

[cstu]

Jeffery getting a heavy dose.

I don't even want to put a guess out there.

 

[ShaHBucks]

Jeffery getting a heavy dose.

Cutler noticed he's on the team?

 

[silentcoach]

Forte did come back in.

 

[cstu]

Looking like a career year for Forte.

Marshall mixed up the uniform numbers.

Alshon looks huge...those fat pics from his SC days are about to be forgotten

looks like Bush will still vulture tds?

Bears kicking the snot out of the Raiders.
