There is no frickin way the coaches called that lateral by Cobb at that moment ...
There was way too much discussion on the sideline after the play if it was their call and both coaches were looking at/questioning Cobb.

Can't believe AR lived thru that hit by Peppers ...
Troy Aikman is a dink.
I would have watched the replay if they would have had the Packer or Bear announcers and not Aikman and Buck
SOB missed it again!!!!!!!!!!!! 
They used to repeat these but not anymore. Now they repeat nfl access 4 times in a row.

There is another rewind on Wed. at 2:00 P.M. LFT. It is usually one of the ones they did tonight but the schedule doesn't say which game it is.
I saw that too but do you really think they'd show GB/CHI over SF/NE? I'd pay to see a tape of that game but nfln only makes it available as part of their overall rewind package or on a limited basis which is still too much for one game.
Anyone know if single games are available on itunes? I mean other than playoff games. I tried searching before and came up empty.

On the hit by Peppers, Rodgers tried to squeeze it in to a well-covered Cobb, while in the middle was an UNCOVERED Finley who was madly waving to AR and jumped in the air in anger when he didn't get the toss. How did Rodgers miss him? He looked like Favre, focusing on Cobb all the way. Hope that's not a trend. Still not sure why no Bears LB covered Finley.
It was Jennings not Cobb.
AR talked about this play yesterday on his radio show. The defense CHI ran on that play they had never, ever, done before out of the alignment they were in. That is why Peppers came so clean and why Rodgers never saw Finley. He said he could "hear" the pressure coming and had to get it out quick and Jennings was the 1st read.
How many completions have you made from your arm-chair?

Peppers had never rushed the passer from that alignment before?
I presume Mike McCarthy isn't the only one who comes up with new wrinkles like having Cobb throw a lateral on a punt return. The other team has coaches, too.
IIRC he said Finely was the hot read on that play and AR was kicking himself for not looking there first.
He may have DH13, I just recall he said he tried to squeeze it into Jennings before getting hit and then he never looked to Finley.
Of course JP has rushed from that spot before. I'd have to go back and listen to the podcast, but AR was talking about how many they brought and not who specifically. Someone, Peppers or another, typically would drop off the line into coverage. He even mentioned that Newhouse did the right thing by taking the inside guy because he had the quickest/shortest route to the QB.

quote:“Aaron’s eyes should’ve been there,” Clements said. “Looking at it, it didn’t look like they could bring all the guys that they brought, and they did. And they left Jermichael wide open. So I guess (the Bears) had a miscue, but it worked in their favor because Aaron didn’t think they could bring all those guys and was looking the other way.”
Rodgers said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com that he simply didn’t believe the Bears would send three rushers into the right side of the line and three more up the middle, leaving Peppers to come untouched from the right. Left tackle Marshall Newhouse picked up safety Major Wright, as he was supposed to, and Finley was wide open after Peppers ran past him. The Bears simply overwhelmed the Packers’ six blockers – the five linemen plus fullback John Kuhn – and it was on Rodgers to know that.
“Tom’s exactly right,” Rodgers said. “Jermichael was wide open, he was jumping up and down wanting the ball there. Sorry J-Mike, I didn’t see you there.
“I come up (to the line of scrimmage) and I said, ‘There is no way in God’s green earth that this guy is going to come,’ because they had seven guys up there.
“We were in a protection where if all seven of those guys come, we got six blockers so we can’t pick it up, which I obviously know that. I’m thinking to myself, ‘This guy on the strong side has got to be guarding Jermichael, because the only other safety is on the backside of the formation and there is no way they are going to run this empty pressure.’
“Sure enough, they ran the empty pressure. Sometimes when you have done so many reps in a game and seen so many different looks, you just forget to do the most basic, elementary thing, which is check your ‘hot’ (receiver). If I check my ‘hot,’ I hit Jermichael, it’s a first down, without the roughing the passer, probably don’t have to take that big shot form ‘Pep.’
“But instead, I drop back, and right as I felt the crowd and a guy bearing down on me, I know right away I should have checked by ‘hot.’ All I could do at that point is one-hop one to Greg and took a shot.
“That’s one of those things where unfortunately you just don’t do a basic thing, that you have done a hundred times, because you just know in your mind that look their giving you they can’t possibly bring that guy on the strong side and they do and they kind of screw up a bit. You have Jermichael wide open; instead you take a big shot and luckily we (were) got the call there.”
Rodgers said he could actually tell he was about to take a hit from the reaction of the fans at Soldier Field.
“You just can kind of feel the crowd. It’s a noise. You hear the noise that you are about to get rocked,” Rodgers explained. “Marshall (Newhouse) did what exactly what he is supposed to be doing. He squeezed on the most dangerous (rusher) and I had Jermichael again jumping up and down right there for a first down. I didn’t do the basic thing of looking at the ‘hot’ and paid the price on my body.”
At the end of his Packers career TOG would have just chucked it up for an INT. At least 
bounced one in.
And my wife says my memory is shot...
