Jermichael Finely will come up huge against the Giant's defense. I know many Packer fans are down on Finley, but the guy has STUD/BEAST written all over him and he is only 24 years old. Remember the Arizona playoff game?--Third most yards EVER by a TE in the playoffs.
I think McCarthy has saved plays for Finley to use in the post season. Finley hasn't gone deep, over the middle very much this year, so look for Finley running some post routes on Sunday. The only thing that worries me is A-rod may have lost a little confidence in JF. However, Rodgers has a history of going back to guys who have dropped the ball: Nelson in the Super Bowl, Jones last year.
Remember Mike Holmgren and Keith Jackson? I do. Jackson never went deep all year in '96, despite scoring 10 tds. Most tds came in the red zone. Yet, Jackson had 2-3 HUGE catches in the playoffs on deep routes to set up touchdowns. I thought Holmgren was brilliant in that regard. Saving plays for the playoffs isn't unusual, but saving great plays that actually work is pretty damn smart.
Fans will be buying Finley jerseys in large numbers after he leads us to another Super Bowl victory.
