what does that do for us

I was being a complete dick in the chat about it, but truth is, it was an illegal play by the defender, and nice awareness for the defender to secure the ball. Finley can't really be held responsible because the ball was thrown very short and he was falling backwards away from the ball because of illegal contact from the defender.

You played QB. Have you ever played receiver? If so, have you fought for a ball? I'd almost always go to the ground, even backwards because the correct way to win a fight for the ball is to fall down and roll with the ball, which Finley didn't do.

I was thinking wtf? That's one of the receiver's responsibilities. If the ball hits you in the hands, you don't let the other guy take it from you. I watched the replay and it confirmed that I now think Finley is overrated and won't be bummed at all if πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ή dumps him.

Other than Finley ruining πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·'s QB rating record, one heck of a game. I gotta give props to Ryan Grant especially as he's someone I wrote off as losing a step. He really showed up today.

Our D did exactly what it was supposed to do today. We got 3 and outs. We also got key takeaways. Great job D. We held them scoreless in the 1st half.

I saw plenty of effort from Finley in some of the blocks he had earlier in the game.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Packers became only the second team in league history to start out 13-0 after winning the Super Bowl the previous season. The other team was the 1998 Broncos.

The Packers have now won 11 games in a row at home. During this period, they have scored 403 points (36.6 points per game) while allowing 176 points (11 points per game). They have a +227 scoring differential at home over the course of that streak.

If the Packers win the next 2 games, 2011 will be the first "Perfect Calendar Year" in NFL History.

That is, winning all games played in a given calendar year (which includes the playoffs and Super Bowl from previous season).

I was thinking the pass on the interception was too low too. Finley had to jump so he could reach behind the defenders head. On a real jump ball he should have to jump and reach his hands up. If he did that it would be out of reach for the defensive back. Also with the way it happened so quickly, I don't think Finley could have done much to rip it away from the defender.

The location of the ball is inconsequential. Aaron Rodgers has been throwing back should passes all year long. Everyone has been laughing or marveling that he has been getting away with it. If the defender had only turned around he could have intercepted the ball comments are made every week. sometimes 3-4 times in a game.
It is a gutsy pass that they pull off to perfection time and time again. This time the ball needed to be a few inches more to Finley's left. He would have been able to lean back toward the goal line and grab the ball. The ball could have also been a little higher to allow JerMike to out jump the defender. every single pass can't be perfect to within 2-3 inches.

Actually as I type this I think the defender took the ball off Finley's chest didn't he? That means he had the first, best chance to catch the ball he just didn't wrap it up when it got to him.

My hard ass dad can be thanked for that. I would get chewed out if I got a finger tip on the ball and didn't bring it in. He also told me since I was smaller than everyone, I needed to try harder to make others notice. That meant being fearless and learning how to take a hit.

So, yes, jumping over someone who is committing interference while you are falling backwards and trying to reach above their head to make a catch ... it is difficult. Again, I was short so I had to be in that position several times.

The interception is not on Finley, but no question I do believe he should have caught it and/or did more to knock the ball out. When he rolled up he had this "duh what just happened" look on his face.

I'm with you on not being bummed if he's not resigned. I said during the off season I needed to see a full season of Finley before I feel he deserves a big contract. I won't name any names, but several blasted the hell out of me for it. I don't know why he's so out of focus this season, but if they can get his focus back, and signed to a top 10-15 TE money, I'd be okay with that. But he's not worth top 5 TE money, not to me.
