It's been awhile since we had a good TE like that. And it shows just how important that position is! And like has been said, now that teams HAVE to plan for Finley, it will open it up for the WR's.
The possibilities excite me!
Maybe not as much as it excites Bozz, but it still excites me!

Jermichael Finley is the butter to all of the receiver's bread. As soon as they realize how much defenses target Finley, they will be so damn happy (not saying they aren't already).

MassPackFan said it best---"How can we stir up crap during a 5 game winning streak?" <---This should actually be the title of that article.

Football is a team sport, not an individual sport.

Maybe opposing teams will get to the point where they have to put a CB on Finley. It could happen--the Packers have put Woodson on some of the really good TE's at times. I'd like to see a CB on Finley, leaving Jennings or Driver to be guarded by a safety or LB.

I hope it comes to that Greg, but I dunno. The times Woodson has been man-up on a TE is when the opposing team doesn't have much of a threat at WR. Now, if teams decide Finley is the biggest threat and they decide to use one of their CBs on Finley, that would be sweet. How about that situation to open things up for Jennings and Driver?

The article was okay, but the headline was stupid. That often happens, because the headlines are written by an editor rather than the person who wrote the article. There was nothing in there to suggest that the receivers were puzzled by all of the throws to Finley. In fact, Jennings clearly explained why it is happening. It's all about matchups. When opposing teams begin taking steps to defend Finley, the game plan will tilt back toward the wide receivers. Ultimately, they will benefit from this, and I think they know it.

That's what I got out of it. I didn't read anything that tells me that the receivers were unhappy. They play as a team. They loose as a team and they win as a team.

Finley deserves the attention he's getting from Rodgers. He has the ability to open everything up. I think the receivers should understand it and if they don't, then that's their problem because the last time I checked, Green Bay is doing a nice job of winning.

Jennings has had his fair share of drops this season and Driver is in a funk right now. Makes sense to go to your next best receiver and as mentioned by AADP, Finley is that guy.

It's also worth noting that GB has not thrown as much this year as they have in years past.
