For you fantasy football types, you have your roster locked down, and are hoping your TE that will carry you through the season (Gronk) doesn’t get injured and waylay your shot at the $600.00 prize at the end of the year.
Anyhow, this is a pretty interesting game tonight between the defending champ Patriots and the perennial bridesmaid KC Chiefs. They of the omnipresent floating orb of the walrus, and his wizened charge, Young Sir Alex Smith. The Pats of course magically won the last Super Bowl amid an epic 2nd half collapse by the Falcons that was likely as painful to witness as a fan as the 49ers near-comeback and coming up 5 yards short in 2012.
But I digress. Smith is finally hearing father time, and a bona-fide challenger to his throne in Patrick Mahomes, a guy KC and the Sunshine Band traded up for. The Pats however decided to stick with Jimmy G as their backup amid reports of trading him for gross amounts of swag. PRetty much based on nothing but being a Pat. NE was in a win-win situation, and I guarantee you they grab a higher-round QB than they have reached for in recent memory. They don’t even have a Taxi Squad QB at this point.
Anyhow, in my fantasy league I have Gronk and the Pats defense. Let the games begin.
Forty Niners Forever 
If you believe Ross Tucker, he thinks the Niners not only best he spread, but win the game this Sunday.
I think a lot of that is due to surprise and that we have won the last 6 openers. It would be fun if he is right.
Im going to the game, hope to see some competitive football and a strong home crowd for a change.
Go Niners!
Yeah, we need some home crowd advantage. I have never been to the stadium but I heard that it wasn’t that loud. Candlestick used to rock at times.and so did Kezar from what I can remember.
12th- please let us know what you think about everything. I got a good feeling that we are on the right track.
A few games Levi has rocked, the Cowboy game last year comes to mind, but generally there just hasn’t been much to get the fans excited about.
I will give my impressions good or bad Winder and I’m optimistic about the direction too.
P.S., I’m taking the Niners 24-21
Tucker also said the Raiders lose their opener to Tenn.
Last game I went to I had a few beers with Irish Kevin, and me and my son sported our paper bags. The game was deserted by the 3rd quarter. Frankly I think they are still going through the yuppie scum stage. In a couple more years, the true fans will start getting involved.
Unless the team starts winning sooner rather than later.
Have fun 12th. Look forward to your reports. I can see Tennessee winning. They are one of my sleeper teams this year. They should be able to score against the Raiders.
Gonna go to the Giants game. Irish, you should go
I’m in for 10-6 if we stay healthy and 7-9 if we don’t. Here’s to our health, put me in for 10-6!
I am going a very optimistic and non-doomer 4-12.
