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.
