Maybe they'll bring Tori Gurley up from the PS.

I was saying this as soon as the injury occurred. Activate Gurley and bench Finley. Gurley is tall, with extraordinarily long arms. He can't do much worse than Finley has lately, considering both Grant and Cobb had better completion percentages today. (3 out of 10 targets . . . seriously? Not all the passes were great, but still!)

It's pretty sad that I am willing to trust an unproven practice squad player over a supposedly established, superstar tight end.

I posted on Twitter earlier today that Finley simply isn't an elite TE. He is still a valuable weapon, however, but not elite. He's a good tight end. Elite players consistently make difficult catches. They don't make them all, but much more often than not. I would still like to keep him, but hopefully more Packer fans will realize he isn't elite. Props for staying healthy so far, but he has a long ways to go to be a top 5 and maybe even a top 10 TE in the NFL.

Anybody else remember when Donald Lee used to be a reliable pass catching TE? Then all of a sudden it seemed like he couldn't catch a cold? I wish I wasn't reminded of that, but I am.

Finley has been a helluva disappointment lately, that's for sure. I felt there were two passes he should have caught, no question. Another one he made good effort and should have too.

It's become very clear that he's marginally athletic for a TE, but always excelled because he had velcro hands and tremendous body control in space. Not so sure about the hands anymore, so now he's just a big body who is a little more athletic than Bubba Franks.

He'll have an occasional great game, and then several below average ones. Sounds like the description of a "good" player to me, at best. Overall, still a solid 4th round draft pick, though.

#10

And I hope he ends up getting paid commensurate with that performance (and gets relegated to irrelevance in the Super Bowl much like Jones did last year -- I shudder to think what might happen if this team really needs a first down when it counts and they throw to him). If some other team is willing to pay him like a top-5 tight end, let them.

packerfanoutwest (34m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (13h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
