Great field position. Sit Barkley down for the game and go punch it in

Let's do something with this

Time to blow this game open, offense needs a TD

157 on the turf. I mean... if that doesn't argue for NATURAL GRASS, I don't know what does. These fieldturf fields and their black pellets are just a huge thermal sink. Field turf isn't safer than grass either. Just a bad idea in an outdoor venue like Tennessee.

Our punter is better than their punter.

Seemed our offense benefitted so much from Tank getting yards on his own. Barkley just a different runner. Not sure I understand risking Barkley and pulling Tank in this game.

No excuse to not have grass there

Wonder why after all these years no one has ever tried white rubber pellets.

We have a turf field here on base that we use for intramurals, and I've literally felt the bottom of my feet burning while playing on it.

It likely changes the color of the field and makes the yard lines harder to see.

The excuse they’re gonna give you is it’s cheaper to maintain. I know at the University of Arizona they used to have grass. the reason why they changed it was because it was easier to maintain and overall save them on expenses associated with keeping natural grass. I hate it. also makes it harder on your players physically from what coaches have said to me. They prefer the grass.

Do we know what’s wrong with Goedert? Did I miss it?

Barkely is easier to defend with his self tackling. But doesn't have that. All time run blocking dominant O-line these days. He may be the new whipping boy in here.

Probably because tires are black

Barkley's cleats every week have him slipping

too much dancing behind the line....

Annoying that the overlay isn't showing down and distance

SB!

We have it at my high school. It makes sense there, because that field gets used by every team... fall and spring, so a grass field just can't hold up with the punishment it would take. But, an NFL stadium like this, that gets used 10 times a year? GRASS!!!
