When he caught the ball he should have it high and tight meaning the front point covered with his hand and the rear point of the ball tucked tight against the inside of his arm close to the armpit tight against his chest and protected by his forearm. When Tillman punches the ball out it is down at his waist in front of him with his elbow open.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

OMG! Finley had his second fumble in his career against a guy who's KNOWN for knocking the ball out, especially against the Packers! Holy shit lets have a riot!

We should be pissed off much more by his drops!

I thought he was in pretty good position with the ball and wanted to see what Traxx saw on the replay. I guess it is bad to try and learn a thing or two when Zero doesn't want to discuss it. From my perspective it would be silly to start a whole new thread to talk about something that merits on a few posts and could be handled very quickly here. By bringing it up over and over he has actually made more out of it than anyone.

But then it is his site so he can do as he sees fit.

Finley is the most talented tight end we have ever had, and some of you want to throw him out with the trash? I'm sure everyone here was consummate professional in their early twenties, or were some of your shitheads too.

If Finley starts beating women or getting arrested for drugs or booze, then we have a problem. Until then, too many of you are caught up in that bull shit "Packer People" crap.

Personally I don't like the talk but I know it is his personality. It will never change.

As for dumping him, I am not ready to say get rid of him. Even if he never gets a pass thrown his away the defense has to account for him. The defense has to use more than a LB or S on him. He helps the WR get open.

Anyone who has been on this forum for more then 5 years knows R.P. has, and always will be the one of the biggest Rodgers fan in the universe. Have been since he was drafed. I have taken the hate for loving his stash and arm especially in the two years after he was drafted.

HOWEVER... As far as drops...

I think Aaron tends to love his arm more then his receivers do. I know I have seen many times, where Arron has fired a Nolan Ryan Fast ball on a slant over the middle that would have been dropped by Honus Wagner (The greatest Short Stop in baseball history.) if he was holding a 4 foot wide fishing net.

Brett did the same thing all the the time and broke many fingers in camp, as well as causing drops on game day in the regular season.

Some times drops are not all about the receiver, and can be attributed to the passer.

I would love to see Aaron, when he sees a target coming over the middle, WIDE OPEN... Just take a little off the velocity.

There is a time to fire it, and there is a time to lay it in there a little softer. Just like the nurse hands off a new born child to the father.

Fan Shout

beast (4h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (5h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (5h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (5h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (5h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (5h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (5h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (5h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (5h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (5h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (6h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (6h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (7h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (7h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (15h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (15h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (23h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
