Yes - exactly

He’s a very good RT

Hopefully he won’t be out long

I’m a card carrying member of the Sony Michel Fan Club but he was putrid - went down very easily

I think Sony was the only person the Steelers actually game planned for.

Give Pittsburgh more credit. They spent seven months game planning for Gronk, Hogan, and Flowers!

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Nothing like being a huge a Steelers fan on the Bruins board.

I am SAD

Awwwwwww, so you need a hug? You have Seattle next week, that should be an ass whooping for you guys to put on them.

reading twitter makes me more pumped the Patriots signed Brown and that it works well. What a bunch of hypocrites. Tony Dungy disappointed in Robert Kraft is comical. Not for nothing Tony but your guy Marvin Harrison is light years worse than anything Brown ever did.

The real problem is it makes the Patriots that much better

Tony Dungy disappointed in Kraft over Brown

Marvin Harrison, How Can You Sleep at Night?

BWAHAHAHAH

I thought the offensive line wasn't getting any push on most of Sony's runs. He had a few carries where I felt that he left yards out on the field, but for the most part Pittsburgh had a guy on him before he even got to the line of scrimmage. They had a lot more success on outside runs, so I'm not sure why they didn't do much of that with Sony. I'm sure it will improve, especially if the passing game is as good as we all expect it to be.

Helps for this year too.

It's essentially what they did with Revis a few years ago.

Edit: I might be mixing up anecdotes, but Tony Dungy is a real piece of trash

Still no news on Marcus Cannon

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I've heard that TV puts on ten pounds...did that TV put it all on Ben's neck?

 

[Alicat]

He kind of looks like Claude with hair

LOL. The comparison never entered my mind before that pic, but now it's all I can see!

Sooo..you're saying Big Ben likes KFC?

 

[JRull86]

By my count, that's 8 WRs on the roster now.

Antonio Brown is cool with me, anyone who has a problem with Roethlisberger, the Steelers and the Raiders in general is okay in my book until proven otherwise.

Imagine learning of an disagreement with "Big Ben" and thinking the other guy is the dink.

I was excited with what I saw from my Vikings this Sunday....then Sunday night reminded me I have zero chance of winning a SB again.

I say this with all seriousness. You absolutely have a greater than zero chance of winning a SB. Do the Patriots have a great chance at winning another one (like 2 plays away from being their 5th straight), sure? But it's still week 1. Cannon got hurt last night, if there's one thing that can short circuit a passing game with a ton of weapons it's a thin OL. Look no further than what happened in 07.

Win the division (which looks winnable after the weekend) then the NFC Championship and, see where you're at.

The camera adds 10 lbs, so he must have like what, 6 or 7 cameras on him?

People talk about Big Ben like he's good. Dude is a fat f*** that doesn't clearly care about football at this point. Can't even bother to keep himself in decent shape, ffs. All he did last night was throw a few deep balls and hope they were caught. Literally no plan or flow. Just chuck it and pray. And that's the second best team in the entire AFC during the Pats 20 year run. Shameful display of football. Wasn't even a competitive game.

There are times that I watch the Patriots and wonder, are they smarter than everyone else, or do they just base everything on ruthlessly rigid logic and screw the consequences. (i.e. screw up less as a matter of process).

Last night, great example. Tomlin is what, 2nd in active winning %? Now, they had almost no chance of winning that game with that QB and that defense on opening night at Gillette, but punting on 4th and inches? Kicking a 19 yard field goal to make the score 20-3? Awful.
