Tight end Jermichael Finley left Ford Field with an unsatisfied feeling after the Green Bay Packers' 34-12 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday but it didn't have anything to do with getting only three catches, or the ball in the end zone that was deflected by the Lions. Finley wanted revenge for a vicious hit by Lions rookie Louis Delmas in the second quarter, but he never got it. "Oh yeah, no doubt it was," Finley said when asked if Delmas' hit was a dirty play. "Didn't like it and I went up to him and told him, 'Payback's coming, for sure.' That's why I'm a little frustrated - why the hell I didn't get him - to tell you the truth." Delmas was flagged on the play, and Finley had the wind knocked out of him. "They threw the flag and hopefully he gets fined for that," Finley said. Source: Milwaukee Journal-Constitution
it was a clean shoulder to shoulder hit the only reason a flag was thrown was becuase the snitch was flailing around on the turf
Wish I could find a video of the hit. no way shoulder to shoulder, he led with his helmet, and.... the ball was already gone and Finley was defenseless. I personally think it was a cheap shot and I believe his wallet will be a bit lighter.
Yea..u need to get your facts straight..it was a HELMET to HELMET hit..i watched the hit like 8 times in a row off of my dvr. It was a bs hit, and he could have hecked finley up bad. And hes a snitch flailing around on the turf?.....lol. That is the whole lions team week in and week out.

come on guys all we should care about is player safty!..... hah ahaha no i agree strap it up, shut up, and go freaking play finley. the wind getting knocked out of you is just embarrasing anyways, sucking air on national tv i get it bro, but this is football not tity tackling
alright, here's the deal .................... delmas blatantly left his feet and threw his shoulder into his facemask area....... it was flaggable (is that a word?) and it will be fined. if finley thinks it was dirty and wants to take revenge, then that's his own prerogative but he doesn't need to publicize it to the whole world.
