Jennings, Driver, Jones can be all wound up about Finley getting more opportunities if they want.. but dropping passes week after week isn't going to change that.

At any rate, Finley has dropped his share too. It's a problem that has plagued the entire team this season.

There were two articles last week talking about how puzzled the receivers are with Finley's increased attention in the offense.. whether the articles were enhanced or not by the author.. it is clear that they weren't overjoyed about it.
The last couple weeks Finley has produced and provides a huge mismatch against defenses.. and if.. I repeat if that bothers the receivers they can whine all they want.. goal is to win.
My point is the drops have been here all season and it is clearly becoming an issue..

The article I read had the word "puzzled" in the headline, but in the article it was just typical stuff about receivers saying that they would like more balls thrown their way, but that's up to the coaches. Jennings specifically said that he understands why they are going Finley's way more often.
We are very lucky to have high quality receivers who are all team players, especially when compared to all of the divas in the NFL. I don't see any reason to accuse them of having a bad attitude.
I did look for stats on drops, by the way, but couldn't find them. I know Finley has had a few, plus a fumble. Pretty similar to his teammates, I would guess. I love Finley, but I don't think we need to praise him at the expense of the other guys.
Sometimes it's discouraging to think of how much time I spend defending my own team's players on a fan forum.
