BINGO

They scored 30 points without him in 3.5 QTRs. I liked it fine. (23 if you take out the TO).

i'm with PB

offense looked better after he left if you want to get picky

i don't think finley being in the game would have caused a-rod to hit jordy and jones on all those deep passes. and i'm pretty sure finley would have dropped the same pass that quarless did

and finleys statline today

one pass thrown to him, one drop

23 despite having some great field position in the 1st half due to turnovers by Bengals. They missed Finley.

I'm not sure it counts as a drop if you have the ball until knocked out with a concussion. At least it shouldn't. Finley's absence in the middle of the field forced Rodgers to try to force it to Nelson and Jones.

Rodgers struggled (poorest game in 3-4 years) with one huge weapon/option lost. cin pretty much blitzed every down after he went out. Packers d did more than enough, the running game was better than normal, but it was the limited passing game that failed. Rodgers can't do it by himself. you add weapons...you don't eliminate them.

The D did more than enough? You're joking, right?

can we honestly add finley at 8 million a year?

we still have a lot of holes. by my count we still need to find 4 or 5 o-linemen that can start in the NFL, and still need another good pass rusher opposite clay. and getting a good safety wouldn't hurt either

we have a ton of money tied up in two guys long term, making it three guys might mean we are stuck with 4th and 5th round rookies starting because we can't afford better options

The D played well. Realistically, they gave up 20 points, scored 7 while forcing 4 turnovers. That should have been enough. The offense scored 23 points and gave back 7. This loss is primarily on the offense.

Can we add him at that number? I hope not. Good player, talented, agree that you don't eliminate weapons for Rodgers...but I think TT can find someone -- in the draft, most likely -- to replace him for less. Seems like oversized WR's are now the rage. His blocking is better, but you could probably get that from a rookie. 2010 was proof that the offense could keep rolling without Finley, but they had a WR corps that (if you counted Driver along with Jennings, Jones and Nelson) went pretty deep. Maybe Stoneburner or Bostick is that guy, maybe they draft an Eifert type.

I like Finley, but I don't like him at that number. I'd rather spend that money on other players.

GTFO out Williams. I'm sick of you. Not only do you suck but then you commit stupid ass penalties to add 15 yards to the end of your fuck ups.

no fucking way. The offense was clearly not the same w/o Fin. 30 points off mostly FG and a couple scores one of which was a run. The only thing the offense looked good doing was running the ball. Not having Finley really bogged down the passing game because our other TE are pretty below average in the passing game. Fin for all his drops is a match up problem and helps take pressure off our other guys. Things open a lot more for this offense w/ Finely on the field.
