Now I realize with J-Mike emerging, it was going to mean less touches overall for the WRs.

I even understand that with excellent depth at the WR position, there was going to be competition for catches.

From that end, Greg averaging 3 catches for 40 yards in the first 4 games isn't a major cause for concern.

However, with Finley out your next best playmaking receiver is Jennings.

So, why on earth are Rodgers and / or McCarthy ignoring Jennings? Rodgers should certainly realize Jennings > Jones, and at least look for him more on passes.

If it is the fact that coverages are focusing on Jennings, then McCarthy should get creative with him in a similar fashion to Finley and have him move around more to free things up for him a bit more.

It is absolutely unacceptable that our best playmaker at WR - and now best playmaking Receiver with Finley out - that Greg is being ignored on offense.

Maybe they are setting up the Vikings. Ignore 85 for a few weeks and MN will prep for Driver/Finley etc. Then when we play the Queens, they open up the Jennings playbook and he has a big game until they can make adjustments. With Finley out now, maybe that doesn't work. Just a thought.

Only problem is that we need someone to step up with Finley out - which is to say we need someone to step up now.

The next option should be Jennings, but for the life of me I cannot begin to understand why he isn't getting more opportunities to catch.

Seems like we're playing Polish rules.

We have been game planning with finley a lot more this year. Im more up set at this offensive line issues that have been around for about 5 years.

I think Jennings routes take longer to develop and by the time he does, Rodgers has someone in his face.

I'm going to go with Aaron couldn't get him the ball against the skins because he had .2 seconds to throw it and Jennings is our deep guy, so he wouldn't get a lot of touched with Aaron being destroyed.

Previous games though, my opinion is that Jennings has been covered better/ been covered by better DB's than Rodgers's other options. For example, we now have three "big" threats Finley, Driver, and Jennings. Jennings is our best WR so the opponent would almost always want their best DB on him. So, it would make much more sense for Aaron to go to his other "big" threats or to Jones who are being covered by lesser skilled DB's.

See previous games are not my concern.

On Rodgers first sack, Jennings was wide open going on a post route. Rodgers needs to locate Jennings better.

To be fair though, a lack of Jennings is not the reason we lost. But, especially on the 4 down failed redzone drive for example, we could've thrown Jennings out wide and let him work the run/pass option with Rodgers he does so well.

Boy am I pissed we lost.

So chutzpah, you're saying that it is Rodgers who fails to find Jennings?
