I like how we are bashing Finley for one play that he messed up on in this game. He didn't get many targets in the Raiders game. In fact that play is the only one that I remember. But I do remember him making some good blocks, which is also a job for the TE.

Well Grant played well, Driver played well, Bush played well, Hawk didn't play, Packers are 13-0.
SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE FALL GUY!!!!!!! Even in a 46-16 victory, SOMEONE HAS TO BE BLAMED!!!!
I really didn't want to mention the fact that if Aaron would not have thrown behind Nelson then Kuhn the 2 previous plays, the Finley play would have never happened.(go ahead bash away at me but facts are facts)
I went back and viewed the play frame by frame, the Oakland db, found the ball then turned face to face with Finley, put his hands directly in front of Finley's face, inside of Finley's arms and hands, Jermicheal was able to close his hands around the ball but could not bring it in to his body, the ball slipped out of his hands and went off his chest right into the defenders gut, where he controlled it before he was thrown out of bounds by Finley.
Jermicheal may have been able to controll the ball, but he was falling backwards and his momentum took him away from the ball. A little higher throw and the Finley may have been able to snatch the ball and keep it away from the defender.
IMHO it was just a great defensive play by the Oakland db.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
