I think they flipped because I believe Cole flipped.. and I think it was a statement of sorts. No more trying to create a match up problem vs the rookie.

In the past couple weeks, you have seen the pass rush threat line up over Bulaga.. so I think the Packers made an early statement with the Eagles pass rushing threat.

Just a guess.. if I remember correctly the Cole flipped.

An interesting theory, although if that was the case, you would think the Eagles would continue to line Cole up on that side, forcing the Packers to play their tackles out of their normal positions. It seems like that would disrupt the offense more than the defense.

I don't recall Cole moving over Bulaga all that often for the remainder of the game either though.

Jason Wilde said Clifton and Bulaga had switched in the regular season as well.

You guys are all idiots. This was a direct ploy by Mike McCarthy/Ted Thompson to reduce Clifton's value when it comes time to renegotiate his contract. Now they can say Bulaga has playoff experience at LT. ;)

ahh but this makes Cliffy more valuable as he can play 2 positions.

We finally have our answer, from Mike McCarthy's press conference, as paraphrased by Mike Vandermause of the Press Gazette:

"Tackles Chad Clifton and Bryan Bulaga flip-flopped positions for at least one play to provide a tendency breaker."

Well, sort of an answer, anyway. Come to think of it, I really don't know what the hell it means at all.

Maybe if they had done it a couple of times a half, or even a quarter, that answer might make sense. But once in the first quarter, never to be repeated again? I don't see how that has much effect at all.

I think between Ted and Mike, those two give the longest non answer answers in the business.

Yeah, that's definitely no kind of answer. He's either covering up the real reason or some massive screw up that would cause the tackles to switch sides. Honestly, what kind of blunder could cause that?!?

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

If the Falcons can't figure it out, why should Mike McCarthy tell them through the media?

Loose lips sink ships. And they probably drool a lot. It is probably not very attractive. All slack jawed and stuff.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
