Packers vs Bears Game Thread: Make the Bears Continue to Suck edition

[Schultz]

Did anyone else see the Bear running back move sideways before the snap and then realize he was early and stop. I was wondering if that should have been a penalty. It turned out to be a pretty important play late in the game.

Ha, thought I'd have to venture into the Bears forum to enjoy the sound of their fans squealing like little girls after yet another humiliating loss. Had no idea they'd be so daft as to serve it up here for our enjoyment. Bless!

Yeah, it should have been called. The RB made it funny at least.

Yes, if it's the play I'm thinking of I'm pretty sure he even looked right at the ref as though he was expecting a whistle, lol

And like I said earlier, let's not forget Caleb's 10/10 job of selling a trip as unnecessary roughness/late hit

Once again: read the rulebook and get back to me. Did Bruschi say which rule was broken? Somehow I doubt it.
The only remotely debatable aspect here is whether or not one second elapsed between when the ball was snapped and the long snapper was engaged. The rest of it is perfectly legal. Pushing and “lifting” a fellow defender are not illegal.

Is there a reason you’re so opposed to actually showing me the rule that says otherwise? The rulebook is free and easy to find. I’ll even help you out:

See, wasn’t that easy?

(This is also a good reminder that AI is not infallible. If you actually took the time to look at the sources it used to generate that answer, you’d notice that they all refer specifically to circumstances involving aiding the ball carrier on offense, nothing to do with defenders.)

Yeah, he did. If you would listen to Teddy brewski like I told you you could stop making dumb statements.

look above smart guy. 5 Seconds on Google and another 60 seconds on YouTube and you can listen to Teddy and if you can read look above and find out why the play that you guys did was illegal.

Are you even reading what I've said? The AI summary you keep linking is literally referencing aiding the offensive player.

Show me which rule you're citing. I'll wait. (I suspect it'll be a while)

 

[Calebs Revenge]

? What are you talking about aiding an offensive player it literally says verbatim "opposing defenders cannot lift or push their fellow defenders"
What is there to not understand?

Ok, so either you don't understand the NFL rulebook or you don't understand how AI works, or both, I guess.

You're gonna want to click the little link shown there. That's the source that Google's AI summary is drawing from and it's specifically speaking towards *offensive* players. The fact that the AI-generated answer didn't deem it necessary to include that bit of sourcing doesn't make it less true. I can't believe I'm actually getting drawn into an argument here with someone who apparently thinks AI is completely infallible and incapable of generating an incomplete, misleading, or incorrect answer/summary. Sheesh.

Here's the three sources Google's AI cited to arrive at that conclusion:

First is a random post from a University of Virginia football message board.

Second is the NFL's rules regarding roughing/running into the kicker. (???)

And third is the BBC referencing "association football" (soccer) rules.

Thank you, AI.

I mean lol...... ok bro. One of us here is wrong and I guess it's a good thing that we both know who it is.

I've already linked the rulebook for you. Like I said, if you can point to which specific rule you keep citing as "literally says it's illegal," I'd be happy to take a look at it and concede if I've got it wrong. Rule, section, article, and item. But something tells me I'll be waiting a while for that one.

Is this legal to wrap your fist around a players Jersey? and hold them down so they cannot attempt a jump?

Let me simplify that ?
Is Holding legal on FG attempts?

Maybe the Bears player is “lifting” him up to help? His hand with a fist full of jersey is just a mirage?
