There are a lot of positives to take out of this game for the offense, but this guy really stood out.

He was beating them in double coverage, beating them out wide, beating them from the TE position. And then the grab over the DB, against the helmet. He was covered great, but caught it anyway. It was just amazing. This kid is special. He's should be able to put up Antonio Gates-like numbers, if not better. Especially after Driver retires.

His stats on the night : 6 receptions, 159 yards, 0 TDs.

NFL.com whipped up a highlight reel, as well. 

That first play is just sick.

Finley is a BEAST.
I hope we use him alot next year. If we get a decent O-line, we should be unstopable.

Finley's a beast - no question. I see he and Rodgers making annual visits to the probowl on a yearly basis.

agreed...especially when you compare him to that boob we have, donald lee (please please please release/cut him this offseason)

What a match-up nightmare finley is proving to be...just a STUD of a player!

It's incredible how far Finley has developed from his rookie season. I remember berating him over bitching at Rodgers for his back shoulder throws. He's certainly stepped up; the NFL is certainly not too big for this 6-5 TE.

I remember badmouthing the guy in the preseason. I'm kinda glad I'm eating crow.

Donald Lee has become basically obsolete in this offense. I'd even say that Havner has progressed enough to take Lee's "job."

What I llike best about Finley is he is very "Old School"

He reminds me of "The Ghost"

5 yard catch... 19 yarder.. 33 yarder... they are all the same to Finley.

Never show boats after a catch... Gets up.. hands the ball to line judge and heads back to the huddle. Just like "The Ghost."

"Ghost To The Post" My favorite play call of all time.

I don't know if Finley could make that adjustment at this point of his career, but yes, I get what you're saying.

It's something I really didn't expect. I mean, looking at how he handles/handled himself off the field, interviews, twitter, his wonderlic score ... He's no brain scientist, but he has just had a turnaround.

He dumped his twitter account, stopped blaming other people, doesn't showboat... He's just an entirely different person than he was last year.

And it reflects well in his production.

I agree. There's no more room for Donald Lee on this roster. The guy just drops all the balls that are supposed to amount to big plays.

Jarrett Bush, Donald Lee, Allen Barbre... I don't know why we give these guys so many chances.
