OFFICIAL WEEK 5 GAME DAY THREAD PACKERS vs DA FALCONS

[pbmax]

3 drops? Pass over the middle and the pass at the one. You can't be counting that 2 point conversion on him, can you? Coverage was all over him and the pass went through that coverage.

[gbgary]

He was complaining about not getting enough passes last week. He needs to shut the fuck up about that and catch the damn ball.

he denied making any complaints. had one legit drop. the other was a catch, fumble, and recovery in any other season.

Raji: These guys are coached to play after the whistle. I don't know what their deal is. I think it's a lack of talent on their part.

Raji: Great teams don't indulge in the kind of cheap stuff the Falcons do. ... WE walk away from the stuff they pull.

Raji: We're just a better team than they are. Honestly. These guys talk a lot. But we're the champions. And that won't change anytime soon.

When a player makes comments about not getting enough passes, I expect more out of him than other players. If he's gonna complain, he's gonna have to make plays when he gets a chance. Three drops one a TD, one a big 3rd down, and yes, he dropped the 2 point conversion. Each of them the ball was in his hands and he dropped it. I expect him to make those plays, ESPECIALLY when he complains about not getting chances.

Well, if you are going to be that exacting then you have to correct the TD drop. He wasn't in the endzone and there was a defender right behind him.

Seventh time in GB history they started 5-0, other 6 times they won the championship!

Agreed. Didn't care for his first down celebration either.

DD's done that his whole career.

That was not what Finley said. At all. Bolding is mine.

In fact, the situation you describe actually describes James Jones better, as he did complain about targets last year when concern about his drops increased.

Finley will be fine. It was a rare bad game. His hands will be fine.

Costas asked him about that before tonight's game and Finley acted like it was no big deal that he didn't get enough passes last week. The team is winning and he said "all is cool" or something to that effect. I don't think it is a big deal either. Don't we want our players to want the ball?

Good thing the Falcons traded 5 draft picks for Julio Jones.........

I suspect they are just now beginning to realize what a gaff that was too. They mortgaged their future on a nice player but failed to address what was truly ailing them - their D.
