    Maybe he had a cramp and they just held him out to make sure it didn't turn into something worse. To me it looked like he'd sprained his knee.

    Saw #Packers NT B.J. Raji with a large bag of ice wrapped around his right biceps. He left out the back way and did not comment.

    That's the $64M question RT @jeffnc1: @TomSilverstein wonder if he has a torn bicep?

    McCarthy on B.J. Raji's arm injury: "You have an initial exam. B.J., he’s pretty confident about it. That’s why you do the tests." #Packers

    Sure doesn't sound good. Even M3 made it sound like Raji was the only one who thought it was not serious.

    Plus the Seahawks need to be ready for 2 point conversions all the time.
    I'm thinking MM wanted more snaps for the O instead of PATs in this situation. I doubt we'll be doing this in the regular season.

    He is still not lock down, but he has been in position.

    Bach, as bobble has pointed out, has some whiffs occasionally. Sherrod is still behind but its not a gulf of difference. Sherry needs lots of snaps.
    On another Packer I said Sherrod is technically a rookie and got blasted for it. Yes, all he really needs are snaps. Bach looks better because he started so many games last week. Last week Derek had issues but he looked much better last night.

    Yes, that is a nasty picture but unless he doesn't smile that's about as good as he is gonna look.

    He is probably past rookie, but is definitely in his second year.

    Rookie: No off season (lockout), shortened camp (by about 10-15% with lockout), plus majority camp at Guard, got into 5 games before being hurt in Game #14

    Second Year: zero

    Third Year: PUP, activated to roster on Nov 5, 2013, on roster for 7 games, played a very limited number of snaps

    Fourth Year: First full offseason, second (and first full) camp. All time at Tackle.

    My only concern with last night's game was that it was the Raiders. Their Defense has some talent, but its not quite the Rams. Perry is even harder to judge, Raiders have completely rebuilt their O line.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    PB-

    Wood got a special announcement as the Raiders were coming onto the field. I said to my wife, that will be the only visiting team that get's cheered when coming on the field all year. The announced him again in the 2nd half and put him up on the jumbotrons. They did the same for James Jones a little later and he got a good round of applause also.

    The wifi at Lambeau sucks. I tried to post but it took so long to upload that the website would kick me out.

    We had a lot of the action on the south end zone last night. Jordy's TD was right in front of us.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Mark Cuban was on a panel at one of the sports analytic conferences and one of the questions considered was about fan experience and making it interactive (real time stats, fantasy updates, guess the play call, player of the game, etc.). Everyone was positive until Cuban spoke up (this was mid to late aughts) about the difficulty and cost of wi-fi for everyone at a basketball arena.

    How much throughput you need to sustain to make it work for the majority and the technological challenge of making it happen was something not often mentioned he thought.

    But in other forums, he has clearly stated another reason to resist full scale implementation. He doesn't want to take more eyeballs off the event. He claims that fans go to the phone only when bored. I think this is a cousin of the oldster complaint that no one witnesses events anymore, they are recording or photographing the event they will watch later.

    I don't buy the complaint for two reasons; one, not everyone is doing it and two, Super 8 film and Nikon cameras didn't cause people to be shut-ins and neither will smart phones.

    My money is that the real reason teams haven't gone whole hog on stadium wide, reliable, high-throughput wi-fi is that they have not figured out how to realize revenue for it yet. Why disturb the money making apple cart just to provide another bell and whistle? Once they can drive revenue through it, it will happen.

    Why use the WiFi? The entire Green Bay area is 4G-LTE! F the WiFi.

    Yeah. Having a nice enough connection at a stadium for everyone to have reasonable wireless data speeds would be quite an expense, especially when you consider that it would be unused for the overwhelming majority of the calendar year.
