I'm curious if we were as hard on Clifton last year after he was "Ned Beattied" by Jared Allen in the Metrodome?

Seriously, I really don't remember! Apparently, today I'm older than the sand Jesus walked.

See I remember a guy like Jon Michels attempting to play tackle for the GBP, so I'm kind of willing to give Barbre another game before bringing in a guy that moves our aggreagate age above the lowest in the league.

As evidenced by what happened Sunday, it is obvious the coaches were wrong in their assessment of him as a starting RT as it pertained to that game.

Spot on. I pose a question. If Barbre keeps the starting role, but we get to a certain game where there is a good feeling he will be outmatched (glad Jared Allen comes from the left), is it prudent for coaches to insert other players solely on that matchup? I haven't looked ahead much, but I'm sure Barbre will be matched up against players of greater ability than Ogunleye.

There are so many optimists here, and I can respect and appreciate that. I want to be one of them. I really do. That performance was so disgustingly bad (Twinkie hit it quite well, imo--see, Twinkie, sometimes I DO respect the appropriate use of extreme profanity when it is also eloquent :thumbleft: )

I fear the extreme downside of being wrong about continuing to allow for the growing pains and development of young Barbre. As evidenced by what happened Sunday, it is obvious the coaches were wrong in their assessment of him as a starting RT as it pertained to that game. We had similar, but less extreme examples of this early last year.

At what point is it ok to say, enough is enough as a fan and become cynical as to what is being said contrasted to what is being done?

Never?

Yes, it is but one game. We not only want Allen to do well, but based on our current roster, we need him to do well. He is the (apparently) best option we have on this roster.

When Aaron Rodgers is being carted off in a stretcher, forgive me when I bring my certain brand of schadenfreude to this forum.

I welcome the same to be brought to bear when I am proven wrong. It will bring immense relief.

Relax, buddy.
Mike McCarthy will open up the game with additional compensation on Barbre's side. Rodgers will be fine.

One of MM's weaknesses is I've seen him outcoached during the games.

However, one of MM's biggest strengths is he is one of the best coaches I've ever seen at adjusting BETWEEN games.

Now as I've told Dulak on another thread, I am a gambler, and it's already Friday, and I've failed to find just one person to give 9 points to (for Cinci). That's saying something.

We'll be fine. Rodgers will be fine. Barbre however may lose his job if he doesn't bump it up two notches.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
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 .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
