I realize that many are blaming the Turf field surface for Rodgers injury.
How many NFL games will still be played around the country on grass this fall when one of those fall storms dumps massive amounts of precipitation to turn it into a mudhole.
Good footing? Nope.
Or worse, when it freezes hard in December, and the frozen grass is a hard surface, like an ice rink covered with frozen dirt and dead grass.
It is rare to have a stadium like Phoenix where they can literally roll the grass surface underground to get it outside and care for that natural grass (with irrigation) in the open Arizona sunshine...and then roll it back underground into the stadium.
The mouths that roar are not thinking this thing through. It's not September during the entire football season.
