Not easily, but without any of them for one game, or even for one season, we can win. Rodgers is the only guy on offense that, if he misses significant time, we're screwed.And this has nothing to do with Flynn, there's no other backup I would feel more comfortable with than Flynn running the offense. But he's not Rodgers, Flynn can't lead us to a SB. Neither could Romo, Cutler, Eli Manning, Flacco... for that matter.And, on defense, there's no single guy the defense is tailored to. There is, Woodson, but we have enough talent to shift the scheme if Woodson goes down for a significant period of time. But the key contributors on defense are Woodson, Matthews and Raji. If any of them goes down, the dropoff in production is too big for us to keep the scheme.So, regarding Finley, we don't NEED him. He makes us that much better, though, particularly against cover 2 teams like the Lions and Bears, where he can dominate the middle when they go all coward and put every effort into covering us deep on the sidelines.</blockquote>
