Packers seem to be finished with Finley

[pbmax]

Nah, I'm just saying you have to compare him in the system the Packers run, with all the other parts, good and bad. And it's not all straight line simple. For example, it's clear that Finley's antics hurt him getting the ball. Rodgers just doesn't look for him as much. A specific example from the Bears game was a third down where Finley was absolutely wide open and Rodgers made up his mind to throw to Jennings. I get it - Finley had drops, he made comments, his agent is an ass-hat, etc. But he's also - typically - surrounded by some pretty decent talent - and the consequences of his actions I suppose - that takes away touches and affects his numbers. I hope KY is right that he gets it together and GB get another Lombardi.

What I fear most is the FA Finley that ends up in Chicago or MN with a chip on his shoulder and then beasts it up against us twice a year.

I wonder if the radio show today will cover that. I still think Fin blew off a block of Peppers there. But they have left that DE unblocked before. Hope it gets asked.

Ya, it would be a very good question. I can see leaving some DEs unblocked in that situation, but some are too quick to get away with it if you want your QB alive. Peppers is getting a little old, but still gets home pretty quick left untouched.

Wilde asked the question. Rodgers said it was his own fault. Bears had a blitz on and he said Finley was the "hot" receiver receiver on the play. Finley was open and Rodgers should have gone to him.

Inquiring minds want to know. Any word on that? If Finley was supposed to block Peppers, he shouldn't play again this year. If he was the hot read, Rodgers should have thrown him the ball.

Oh, sorry Joe, I didn't see your post...

the Packers are not playing to Finley's strength. As much as part of me thinks he's a punk ass.......the playcalling has been unkind to him. the drops are not excusable and I see the argument if you want to say the Packers lost faith. Then he should be good as gone. But he can't excel and perform at the leavel they want him to unless they unleash hm downfield. Dude is a weapon. Was I the only one thinking why in the hell is he even touching Juluis Peppers ???

Dammit. Just after I turn on him he gets all "assignment sure"!!

Did he even touch him? I was mainly worried about Peppers "touching" Rodgers.

But about his assignments, its just tough noogies if your hands or routes become a liability for a season plus and then wonder why the offense doesn't feature you. Need to earn that back by being on time and sure handed. Should nickname the effort FinEx.

I think most of us are of the opinion that J

IDK. The few times this year that I remember him running deep routes he was covered like a blanket and I even remember him getting out muscled by a little DB for a jump ball. He looks slow and tentative.

I don't think AR trusts Finley to be where he's supposed to be.

If this was prison ball, Finley would have a place on this team. He'd be the guy giving blowjobs to the winners after the game. He'd lose that job too if his ability to catch a load is anything like his ability to catch a football.

Easy JH. Put the beer down and time to hit the hay!

I better just mace the puke right now before he goes off.
