Packers’ Bryan Bulaga Avoids ACL Tear· Page 2

Barclay will start at Right Tackle in place of Bulaga. He has served as the Packers 6th O-Lineman for years now. He may not be a favorite to some, but he has been there when needed and has experience with this line. His value to this team is beyond the negative post that he receives in this forum.

As we all wish Bulaga a speedy recovery, let's be glad that Barclay is standing in for him and not M.Newhouse !

Hopefully he will be okay... but Rodgers might be running from pass rush pressure if Bulaga isn't 100%.

Fortunately, he is absolutely great at it. Did you see Ol' Peyton finally trying to play under pass rush pressure? Well to Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood.

Others seem to be judging Barclay from hid play in preseason.
Every player coming back from an acl injury is going to have doubts until he actually plays.
I'm hoping Bulaga doesn't miss much time, also am confident Barclay can do the job.

With the string of knee injuries Bryan has, it would probably be best to get him the rest that is needed. Would be more helpful if the injury occurred when we weren't facing multiple stout front 7 defenses (Seattle and then KC) but the injury bug and the Packers just seem to go hand-in-hand over the past few years.

Short-term, we should be fine. Long-term, this is scary that he is continually injuring the same knee.

That said, Rodgers has had to flee for his life through most of his career due to shoddy O-line play.

Let's start a pool. How many weeks will Bulaga be out? Over/under is 3.5. I'll take the over.

I think Bulaga will be back for the K.C. game.

I would like to say this is another R - E - L - A - X situation, but I'm not so sure. Our already highly questionable O Line loses probably its second best player - that seems bad. However, Aaron Rodgers has seemed even more mobile up to now this year than in the past, and heaven knows, he has experience with poor pass protection.

As for a replacement, Barclay has been absolute crap this year. We can hope for a miracle that he rises to the level of average, but I kinda doubt that. I hope they take their chances with Tretter or Walker, but somehow I doubt that - seniority seems to overrule quality for the Packers.

We will still win because Aaron Rodgers is just so damn good.

I don't think Barclay has this locked up. We'll see what coach decides.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
