I think that after a few more games, Rodgers and co. may have seen what was going on and would have started spreading the ball around like ARod does. But yes Finley going down did help Rodgers focus on the rest like he should.

I'm going to agree with this but with a very subtle, yet very important, distinction. I'd say that "Finley going down forced Rodgers to focus on the rest like he should."

That being said, I have the highest confidence in Rodgers and fully would have expected him to lose some of that tunnel-vision he had for Finley at some point this season. Finley was his new toy and we all tend to focus on the new toy for a while until the shininess starts to wear off a bit. Rodgers would've come around eventually. I think it sucks that we don't have Finley right now.

Yes, it's probable that the Packers offense would have adapted within a few games, but at what cost? It's quite possible they would have racked up another loss or two trying to force it to Finley before they started opening things up a bit.

Then again, having Finley down the stretch could have garnered this team an extra victory or two, too. It's hard to imagine they would have scored so few points against the Lions, Jets, or Bears with Finley in the lineup, and I have to think that there's a chance Finley could have pushed them over the top against the Patriots and Falcons.

With that, this means that we could have had at least one more win, putting us in the 2nd or 3rd spot on the NFC (same record as the Saints, not sure about the tie-breakers), and Rodgers would certainly by this point have learned to utilize all the receivers with a great balance, and Finley would have helped us in the playoffs. We are not better at this point without Finley.

On another note, this thread--looking at the topic-- has gone WAY off course! 🙂

FACT lol... I had a tough time remembering where I had put a comment on Finley and A-Rod. Did not expect it to be under "Walden Wins NFC DPOW"

True, but sex hasn't been mentioned yet and it's already almost in its 3rd page. Weird.

The thing about Walden, what can we say about him? I think most of us have already said they didn't know who he was until either right before the game or until we saw Walden on his back when the game started.

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
