Finally, the fat lady starts to sing. A requiem for a dead bear!!!

 

[Cornelius Weems]

That was the dagger. Congrats Pack.

Anybody else see all the crying over the "missed delay of game" call on the MVS TD? Apparently these people don't watch a lot of football games. It happens quite often where the clock actually hits 0 before the ball is snapped.

Probably the same people who thought that Cordelle Patterson was out of bounds before touching the ball. Or that the hit by Akiem Hicks was legal and the no call was the right call. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.....win some, lose some. At the end of the day, the play clock had nothing to do with Rodgers throwing a perfect pass to the wide open MVS.

On the Patterson play I thought he was probably in bounds and it looked like the official standing right there thought so to but they cut away so fast and never went back to his initial reaction. I can't fault the replay though, there is no way you can overturn that. But, or should I say butt, I think we may have gotten it back on the Kmet fumble. Again very close with no clear evidence either way. IMO those two plays show one of the ways replay is supposed to work. A very close call on the field and replay can't overturn it.

I mised the Hicks play itself and I don't think they showed a replay, if they did I missed that too, but caught what the announcers were saying about it. They said it could have been an ejectionable offense.

They also missed a pretty blatent flinch on the Bears guard on I think it was one of Trubisky's 4th down sneaks.

All in all I think the refs had a pretty good day.

The refs watch the clock go to zero, then look at snap . That’s why it’s never really called

at least they is how it was explained to me a while back

that's about how it goes. they give them a tick after 00 to get the snap off

Yup, typical game and when you are on the losing end, the "bad calls" look even worse and something many will attempt to try and hang their hats on to explain the loss.

Bear fans b*tching about a play clock possibly hitting zero right before a long completion to the fastest WR on the field, who is being covered by a LB in a 35- 16 beat down, is really grasping IMO.

Real time i was sure he was in bounds. Replay it was very close. I think his toes were still in bounds and his heel still in the air when he first touched it, but when they're that close it is what it is. can't be too sure of it one way or the other. Neither replay they showed for us was a great view. The one where it showed the feet the best, the hand was behind the ball and hard to tell when contact was made. Where you could see where he touched it, but then couldn't see the feet.

Kmet fumble was the same thing, whatever was called was going to be upheld as far as I was concerned. They 4th down false start was missed, but i'm glad the defense actually had to stop them on a 4th down rather than have them decide to kick because of a penalty. Saw Hicks take some nice swings at the oline a couple times yesterday. One was blatant and obvious at the goal line and after the play. Thought Suh was on their team for a minute.

I would not have objected too much if the fumble was overturned.

 

[Sanguine camper]

The fumble was the correct call. Kmet was on top of a defensive player when the ball came loose.

Told my buddy who is a huge bear fan it wasnt a fumble

 

[Mondio]

I never got a great look at that either. The one angle i saw, you couldn't see when his butt came down, but could see the ball definitely came out and started moving a bit likely while he was not on the ground, but the big part to me is that the ball can move and not be called "losing control".

The other angle shows the butt coming down, but then you see his arm moving, but it was hard for me to see when exactly he lost control.

"Butt" I will say i'm glad it happened to Kmet, he was acting a little too "juiced" for my taste. I'd say overall i'm growing tired of all the bravado surrounding NFL football these days. I love aggression and tough nasty football, i hate the ****ing chest puffing displays put on by juiced up wanna be's.

one of the early plays he was lining up to truck a defender, but didn't and then he got picked up and moved back. So then he has to puff his chest into every defender coming by so he can go set the ball back to where he thinks his forward progress was LOL. I laughed

Didn't win during the play, but going to fight like hell after the whistle to prove how tough he is. Just go back to the huddle, try and win the next play.

But just in general, they let these guys talk and take shots after every single play. Can we exercise a little self control please? I don't think all this chippy crap is good for the game in the long run, nor is it necessary. It's only necessary for those lacking mental fortitude.

The fumble was the correct call. Kmet was on top of a defensive player when the ball came loose.

Like the opening kickoff Cordelle Patterson play, I think it was close, with not enough evidence on the replay to overturn whatever was called on the field.

Chicago got the benefit of the first one, Green Bay the second. Both led to short fields and a touchdown.
