Get rid of Finley he cost us 2 huge first downs last night that could have been game changers and has been doing it all year long especially during the Chiefs game.

I don't care how big the guy is if he can't catch the ball all year long he isn't worth a damn and is a waste of talent. I'm sure there are many unsigned free agents that can catch perfectly thrown passes consistently during the season.

Also we need to get our pass rush back and perhaps think about our DC, Capers is up for the head coach of the Raiders. He did wonders for us but his defense has fallen flat and it's time to move on.

I'd also like to see us trade bait Jarrett Bush he had a good season but I'm sick and tired of seeing him in the other teams face every time he gets beat on a play his childish temperament on the field is going to cost us sooner or later if Collins does not return.

Finley wasn't the only one dropping the ball last night. You could argue the biggest drops were made by other players. Calm down. Finley adds a huge dimension to the offense. Yeah, I'm sure some street TEs have more consistent hands, but I doubt they can be lined up wide like Finley or create the mismatches he does.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

We will not bring in a TE better than Finley. Where was Jones and Nelson last night?? What about Greg Jennings?? Yes I'm calling out the big shot that walks around the sidelines like he can just be there and "be great" he seems very distant right now. If anything Driver and Finley were the only ones making big plays?

Aaron Rodgers mad an absolute HORRIBLE throw to a wide open Finley about 10 yards in front of him and everyone pointed and blamed Finley. I mean come on that throw was ridiculously bad.

I'm not saying it was just Finley but he has dropped passes all year long. We did not play up to our level of expectations last night all around including Rodgers and all of MM's gambles did not pay off at all.

It's great to have a big TE like Finley but what's the point if he can't catch a pass right in his hands? I want to like him but he hasn't shown me anything spectacular on a consistent level. Yes he's had some good games and catches but he's also had numerous drops all year long that were right in his hands.

Yes, Aaron was frustrated. But you gotta keep your cool. Like Joe Montana. He was cool. Always.

I agree with TexasPackersFan about Dom. I think it's time to move on. 🇲🇲 coached a solid game when it comes to playcalling. The Kuhn run was one mistake but had our receivers caught the freaking ball, we WOULD have put up a lot more points. We can't give up that many points in playoff games and expect to win SBs. The problem isn't the O. It's the D. (But yes, our receivers dropping balls is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with).

Our O also gave them opportunities to get the ball starting around our red zone. The O let us down no matter if we had a good D or not I believe we would have lost this game due to the positions on the field we were giving the Giants...

Don't forget Jennings fumbled the ball too which should have taken at least one of our 7 point drives off the board. The other drive in which we scored a TD was pretty much in garbage time and was aided by a bad roughing the passer call. So we could have very easily gone the whole game with a ton of drops, a lot of fumbles and 6 points? The O spotted them points, the kuhn and grant fumbles sealed the deal.

You gotta catch the ball before you can make plays. I'd much rather see the ball go to Gregorious or Jordy and pickup a good 3rd down back in the offseason for screens/blocking.

Texas is right. Finley will demand too much money. If it comes down to $ for a guy who can pressure the opposing QB or $ for Finley, who would you choose? Keep in mind $ is limited.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (3h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
