[spook75]

I am ready!

 

[karguy85]

Train playing to a bunch of Niners fans in San Fran. Don't get any of this...

After all the flack Wendell took from this board I find it very amusing that many are disappointed that Wendell is inactive lol.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Gronk and Chandler. Hope them show. Inside OL gettin me real nervous.

the IOL has me nervous as well, but on the bright side the Steelers don't really have the guys to exploit it. Week 2, OTOH, is a different story.

So ****ing lame this is in San Fran. This was supposed to be our night.

No kidding. Changed channel. Big Bang reruns until kick off.

Unfortunately, the unfiltered version on Comcast sucks.

Felger is a cancer, Fitzy is doing the Jerry Thornton role.

Breer, Felger and MCI should return to Pitts burgh after the game.

They robbed us of our Super Bowl celebration and after glow. Why not put a damper on our banner celebration. FU NFL.

I think it's kinda funny. Goodell's so butthurt that he couldn't bear to be within 3,000 miles of the game. That alone makes up for whatever indignation I probably should feel.

 

[shmessy]

Two of our 3 centers are not available.

So....ummmm.....what's the plan if Andrews stinks or gets dinged up????

Place head between legs and kiss arse goodbye?

I am glad we have 10 days to get ready for the Bills.

I actually think that your view on Wendell is slightly backwards. I think he's a good run blocker, but he can get overpowered in pass protection.

I don't think the two are necessarily mutually exclusive, although I should've been more clear with my original post.

Wendell, when he's 'on', is capable. He can hold his ground and do enough to not be noticed (which is generally a positive). That said, he's susceptible to being easily overpowered, and that leads to issues in both the running and passing game.

My take on Wendell is he is a much better fit at guard, where he is slightly quicker off the ball (to be expected) and can use that to his advantage.

That said, I would have liked to see him out there tonight to keep the kids calm. Although if it's true Andrews is reeves' nephew, I would hopen he would be cerebral enough to handle the calls.

Goodell wants to make sure Patriots fans do not have the ability to vent any frustrations. I'm sure NBC has marching orders to keep the crowd noise turned down during the broadcast.

I would guess the UDFA rookie Andrew. He's listed on the Patriots roster as a center.

• Appeared in 50 games with 40 starts over his four-year career at Georgia. Started every game for the Bulldogs over his final three seasons.
• Was voted team MVP as well as Associated Press Second Team All-SEC as a senior in 2014. Was also voted the team’s permanent captain and won the squad’s toughest player award.

Just heard he was Dan Reeves nephew on pre-game. Didn't pay much attention to him pre-season. Sounds like it's time to familiarize myself a little more.

Anyone else hear Dale on EEI say that the NFL offered (as they normally d0) to fund the pre-game festivities and Kraft said no thanks?

I'm blown away by that if accurate.

Heard that Kessler is on the sidelines.

Very interesting.

Kraft alluded to a surprise tonight, maybe he's part of it?
