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.

packerfanoutwest (16m) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (18m) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (29m) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (3h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (3h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (3h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (3h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (3h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (4h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (5h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (5h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (7h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (8h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (8h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (9h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (9h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (9h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (9h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (9h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (9h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (9h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (9h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (9h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (9h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (9h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (10h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
