I agree with this. I think it received an appropriate amount of coverage for a FB block. I mean, let's be honest, something like that is never going to be the center of attention. It's not the NFL Network's or ESPN's of the worlds fault. The majority of football fans don't care much about that kind of stuff, they care about the big play. Most of us here are probably at least a step above the "average" football fan. Besides, it's fair to EXPECT decent pass protection for Rodgers on such an important play, but that's probably not a safe assumption for the Packers.

Did Rodgers miss the protection shift?
Kuhn doesn't make that play.. the rest fails. IMO, it deserves just as much if not more praise than Cobb running deep past a broken/shallow coverage playing for the yardage stop.
Not trying to take away anything from Rodgers or Cobb.. but just like so many times in this game, QB's are not the sole source of a win or loss.
Nothing more.. just noting a great play that "some" won't acknowledge. Eric Allen on sportcenter last night really irked me.. it was all Rodgers that avoided the sack.. blah blah blah... freaking blah.
There.. spent more time that it was worth on the topic. I enjoyed the ebb and flow of the lat couple weeks of Packer football.. yesterday enjoyed it a bit more with the win over Da Bears.
Now if we can just find some defense before next weekend.. hope they put together a game plan that cleans up some of the lingering coverage breakdowns and find a way to generate pressure.. blitzing or not.
