Jeff Faine

Actually, I think they do select Pro Bowl alternates just in case someone drops out or has surgery or what not.

Not the fans... the players and coaches.

I know it doesn't mean he is a Pro Bowler.

So if a player goes to the Pro Bowl as an alternate... it doesn't mean they're a Pro Bowler. Hmmm... do I really need to elaborate?

By pointing out Faine's problems as a center this year, doesn't mean I don't think we can upgrade the position.

Every position every offseason is upgradeable. It's not like we're working with Kruetz, Brady, and LT.

He played well last year, no doubt. It's a "what have you done for me lately" league and Faine really hasn't done much lately.

He's helped this team to 2 wins in the last 3 games... in which we allowed 0 sacks.

Notice who was one of the guys blocking down field for Pierre when he scored, Goodwin.

Good for him... as I hope he can continue to open holes. It certainly will lessen the loss of Faine.

All I care about is winning and we won 2 in a row and I am thankful for that. I am happy with Thomas playing corner, Mare kicking, the whole team....as long as we keep winning. I don't care how we do it.

I'm sure we all feel the same way.

Doesn't mean that I won't be calling for upgrades in the offseason though.

If we don't make it to the Superbowl, everyone will be calling for upgrades.

Did I say anything about alternates going or actually suiting up to the Pro Bowl? No, I did not.
