Yes, Finley was around for the 15-1 season, and the Packers offense was much better.Originally Posted by Patler
2009 - Offense = 28.8 points/game; Defense = 18.6 points/game (gave up 51 points in playoff loss)
2010 - Offense = 24.3 points/game; Defense = 15.0 points/game (gave up 19 points/game in playoffs; never more than 25 points)
2011 - Offense = 35.0 points/game; Defense = 22.4 points/game (gave up 37 points in playoff loss)
2012 - Offense = 27.1 points/game; Defense = 21.0 points/game (gave up 45 points in playoff loss)
Seems to me like the Packers offense was much better off when Finley was healthy.

'back-to-back' - get it fellas?

I don't think you can compare a year with Finley to one without him, and conclude that he was responsible for the differences. The offense changes, the team is different. I think a better comparison can be made looking at the years in which he was injured. You can compare how they performed before and after he was injured. In 2010, his departure didn't seem to impact scoring, in 2013 scoring without him dropped by about 3 points/game, but Rodgers was also out most of those same games, and I don't think it is extreme to think the loss of Rodgers had more to do with it than the loss of Finley.
In my opinion, Finley should be making much more of an impact on the offense than he has.
I would sign that deal with Finley.Sounds about right.
Let him walk. Go forward with a number one that can catch and doesn't spout off in the media.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
Absolutely, Fin wasn't that great before the injury. Even if they could get him on the cheap, he's never going to be the player he was before the injury, both physically and mentally.
Not sure what I'd offer Finley. Maybe in the 1 year for 3-4M range. Something that wouldn't prevent me from making good offers to Jordy and Cobb.
That said, I think Finley's gone. GB leans more conservatively with neck injuries, plus they have Quarless, Bostick, Taylor, Rodgers, Lyerla and Perillo. They can find 4 TEs from that group; the question is whether they can find one that is a pass catching threat who can stay healthy. Lyerla is probably the only one who has the athleticism to scare a Cover 2 defense.
I am seriously conflicted about whether this makes me think Finley is a better option or that its clear he is done.

Even though transaction report suggests Jermichael Finley visited Patriots on Monday, it happened on Friday.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 20m
RT @Edwerderespn: Hearing Jermichael Finley visit to Patriots was exclusively for medical evaluation of his spinal fusion surgery.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
That would be opinion #58, then.

I think #59. Fins doc cleared him last week.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
So is he 1 and 58 in opinions?

The Backup Plan?
New England needs tight-end depth, and veteran talent is available. So what's the holdup?
This video is really about Jermichael Finley; but there's more Packers as well.

Doctor Shopping
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 51m
Technically visited Steelers team doc. RT @AaronNagler: Jermichael Finley has interest from the Raiders and visited Steelers, per @RapSheet.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 48m
Important distinction. How many of these visits are purely medical for now? RT @RapSheet: Finley technically visited Steelers team doc.

Took 10.5 months for Richardson to be brought back. No reason to hurry. No one has reported Packers or Giants have lost interest.
