Beats the shit out of the last one.

AR has had a tough start. Timing on offense takes time. The Bears and 49ers. . . week 1 and 2 respectively, are very tough matchups. He was better this week than last, but I'm hoping to see these games, against these types of teams clean up a little. They're going to have to dink and dunk. I know it's hard to swallow pride and admit a great defense is taking away what you do best. The short stuff was there all day, but the Packers refuse to consider those as first or 2nd options. AR will look down the field every time, even if a defense is good enough to take it away and has fully committed to id. They have to adjust. We can literally drive the field on either of these teams if we do what they did with Cobb in SF or do what they did with Benson in Chicago. They just have to do more of it.

On the third-and-1 that was successful, Kuhn had to take on an unblocked Urlacher in the hole and still got it.

Kuhn also got beat soundly on another 3rd and 1 by Urlacher - it was the play before his fantastic tackle of Hester on punt coverage. Kuhn looked shaken up after an earlier inside run. Kuhn takes a lot of abuse when he is in there; he was just OK.
