Thanks good summary

[ADVILLAFAN]

Bears didn't play any starters on Offence of Defence. Still a bit of a hammering, as a lot of their starters didn't play.

[cdbearsfan]

Never mind any of that nonsense. How did our kicker(s) get on? I'll settle for losing all four preseason games if we unearth someone who never misses a field goal.

An absolute shocker for the Colts as Andrew Luck retires.

Which means that the new Colts starting QB is a bloke who I’ve met

My photo of Jacoby Brissett taken at a Portland Sea Dogs baseball game just after he’d signed to be the Patriots third string QB

[ADVILLAFAN]

Shame about Luck, seemed like a good guy.

Brissett looks more than capable. If Colts carry on from Last year, they don't need a world beater at QB.

[Ger Regan]

Does anyone know why was he heckled by the colts fans after the announcement? Seems very odd.

Because those fans were arseholes who care more about their team than the health of the players

An absolute shocker for the Colts as Andrew Luck retires.

I remember when it was a toss up who would finish with the first draft pick and fans of various teams were turning up with "Suck for Luck" banners.
Didn't he have major reconstructive surgery on his throwing shoulder a few years back?

Bears @ Packers tonight

Bears @ Packers tonight

Bears are at home.  It should be a good one.

[cdbearsfan]

Nervous.

[taylorsworkrate]

Wouldn't be nervous if I was you. Packers were a fucking shambles last season and nothing they've done in preseason suggests they will be any better.

It will all be on Rodgers again.

[cdbearsfan]

The last sentence is what worries me.

I'd say completely revamping the defense suggests that might be better.
