We survived through it , so it was ok. Hopefully he will be 100% for next week.
Rodgers didn't get killed, and we won.

I remember Barclay's first start. No one had ever heard of him. He had been on that fake FG where Havner (?) went in for a 37 yard TD against Chicago, but no one had ever really seen him PLAY.

EVERYONE thought the season was gonna be OVER. I mean this dude was a scrub, right?

Turned out he did great. Saved the season for us that year. Granted dude hasn't been the same since the knee injury, and he never was exactly all pro before that, but the FACT is, everyone thought we were doomed. We weren't.

Let's wait and see what Murphy looks like. The natural grass should slow things down for him.

Honestly I think they'd move Bulaga over to the left side before they'd put Spriggs out there.

Murphy is mainly getting beat in a singular one or two ways, guys are more athletic than him, beating him to the outside or knocking him back, with Rodgers stepping forward and not knowing where Rodgers is (which happens with all mobile QBs) but normally Murphy makes them go the long way around him, there was a consistent/pattern to it. A smart QB/Coach can game plan for that, realizing they're either gonna need to get the ball out a bit quicker or give him help (chip blocking or TE/RB blocking, to that side).

Spriggs on the other hand was being beaten a lot of different ways. And after a player beat him doing it once, he would then over-adjust to stop that from happening again... and said players would then fake that move and do another... or have a second move to it and would catch Spriggs off guard with second effort and change, which included being beaten to outside, the inside, knocked back. And it's not consistent and hard to game plan for.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
