Packers quartet of receivers sets right tone

John, Paul, George and Ringo. When history remembers the greatest “Fab Four” of all time, you can be sure The Beatles will always trump any other quartet. But right now, Green Bay has its own version.
And the group of Jordy, James, Randall and Jermichael appear hell-bent on creating some record-setting tunes of their own.

"The sky's the limit man," tight end Jermichael Finley said. "Sometimes I wish I was a fan, so I could sit back and watch it all. We're looking good."

Are they ever.

Through two weeks, Green Bay's top three receivers of Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones, along with Finley, have put up some eye-popping numbers. That quartet has combined for 38 receptions, 731 yards and seven touchdowns.

Give Aaron Rodgers 8 seconds and he will tear the defense apart.

Oh wait- this is about the receivers. It is amazing how they can consistently get open in 2.5 seconds.

Interesting fact: of the top 20 receivers in the league based on receiving yards, 4 of them are Green Bay Packers.

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=0&statisticCategory=RECEIVING&conference=null&season=2013&seasonType=REG&d-447263-s=RECEIVING_YARDS&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-n=1

I know its only week 2, but that is just nuts, considering there are 31 other teams.

Its amusing to Ponder how purple Greg must feel about his quaterback at this point.

Edit: NFL.com's stats are broken, when I looked last it was all 4 in the top 50, that's still the number according to ESPN, for some reason a bunch of players are not showing up on NFL.com's stats. Even still, impressive. Jennings pop's in at 52, even playing for another team as the #1 WR Jennings is the #5 for GB. 😆 😆 😆 😆

I think Jerome Simpson is the Vikings 1, not Greg Jennings.
