Studs & Duds in Chicago

[OldSchool101]

Hey, I'm not going to be the one taking that game ball away from him!!! I value my nose where it is.

I think anytime a HC accuses an NFL player and if they are found innocent? the player gets the option for a UFC style cage fight and Winner gets $50K+ $50K to a charity of their choice. It’s gotta end in a KO though. They could do it at Halftime at the Super Bowl

Bro, it says literally in the rules you cannot push or lift another player now of course in football there's incidental contact all the time but when Lucas Van Ness says, yeah, I pushed and lifted the guy. It's a damn penalty. It's just up to you guys are embarrassing yourselves, not admitting it.

You're the one who is embarrassing yourself, and the more you keep shouting that misinformation over and over again the worse you maike yourself look.

Give it up, bubby.

You're not just disagreeing with me you're disagreeing with Teddy brewski and Pat McAfee and I would trust Pat and his opinion on pretty much all things to do with the kicking game of the NFL

So you trust those shouting meatheads more than you trust the NFL rule book?

Section 3 Unsportsmanlike conduct:

Article 1 PROHIBITED ACTS. There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct. This applies to any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship. Such acts specifically include, among others:
<snip>

(p) Jumping or standing on a teammate or opponent to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick.
(q) Placing a hand or hands on a teammate or opponent to gain additional height to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick.
(r) Picking up a teammate to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick.
(s) Running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or Try Kick and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.

Hahahahahahahahaha
I'll be waiting.

Yes, absolutely Eberflus versus Luke and Van Ness to the deat.h tonight 8 PM. Let's do it.

No. I’d decline the offer I want your HC as healthy and involved in games as possible. He's probably your opponents single biggest catalyst. He’s the only Coach in the NFL that would allow :26 seconds to peel off the clock with Downs remaining and a Timeout left. All with a good chance to either pick up a 1st down with 20+ seconds remaining and a Timeout. score a TD or shorten a FG try substantially. No let’s stand around looking at each other like we’re a Class 3A HS team.

Although Poles hiring your next HC is pretty intriguing. It’s debatable he could be even more damaging long term. I might vote for this. Poles could single handed take you back into the dark ages for the next 5+ years.

We need to make T-shirts with this on it


Matt pretty much summed it up for me:

"I've seen a lot of plays where I thought a penalty should've been called, and it didn't happen," said LaFleur. "I thought there were multiple plays in that game. That's why you don't want to leave it in the hands of the officials."

Matt LaFleur shuts down Bears' laughable complaints over blocked field goal

Stop me if you've heard this before but the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday. It was the Packers' 11th straight win over their division rival

We're not gauging our season on one game on the road against a divisional opponent. Besides, historically we don't play well after the bye. We have the 49ers at home, and they seem to be down a notch this season. You never know if you're going to win or lose, but I like our chances.

The 49ers will be a more formidable foe than the Bears were. Fortunately for us they are beat up and the game in GB but they have been a nemesis for us for a while now. I doubt any Packers fans if they are being honest will go into this game brimming with confidence.

Be careful what you wish for.

Comedic timing with this article and the Joe Douglas firing today.

Jets firing Joe Douglas proves Pat McAfee's boneheaded Packers take wrong

Watching the Jets fire Joe Douglas now allows Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers to get the last laugh looking back on the Aaron Rodgers trade.

I'm expecting a win. We may or may not get it, but I expect a win. Yeah, we played like crap against Chicago, but it's a division game, those are often funny. It's not like we're incapable of playing a good game.

For what it's worth, I love Pat and watch his show all the time. But I mean let's be honest - it's in his best interest to play devil's advocate, to say things that are controversial, to generate clicks and discussion. And he would probably admit as much himself. It doesn't do *** any good to say "The Bears had their field goal blocked. That's all."
There's a reason why shows like First Take and whatnot are absolute cash cows for sports media. Hot takes and controversial analysis is FAR more profitable than keeping it vanilla and we all know it. Like I said, I love Pat and his show but it absolutely IS sensationalized and is just as much for entertainment as it is for information. I take everything he says (and just about any other talking head in sports) with a grain of salt for this reason.

Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but aren't you the guy who swore up and down that you're the kind of fan who always admits when he's wrong? Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else?

Bears fans gotta be Bears fans, I guess...

Yup....controversy sells. It also keeps fans talking at the water coolers.

If every game was perfectly coached, officiated and played, what would we talk about?

If there isn't enough controversy, then stir the pot in a different way and make some.

"lifting"? Show me where "it's been established" that LVN lifted Brooks. LVN simply said he got behind Brooks and pushed him. The rule is that you can't gain leverage from another player.

Eberflus is actually trying to say that the Packers “were on our long snapper”. The rules state that you can't line-up in front of the LS during a FG or XP attempt. The Packers did not. There is no rule, that I am aware of, preventing the defense from rushing through the LS once the ball is snapped, which is what they did. Was LVN's **** push enough to warrant a "leverage" penalty? I have watched that play over and over, and I think LVN is trying to take way too much credit for what he did.

"Leverage" in my book isn't being pushed in the butt, leverage would be using a teammates back, shoulders, to elevate yourself.

Yeah and I don't know what leverage a kick blocker gets from being pushed. It looked to me like Brooks played that gap to the left of the LS to perfection. He timed his jump well, not easy for a guy that big.

And if you believe Bisaccia, he saw that Santos kicked the ball low and believed, before the game, that an XPA or FGA could or would be blocked.

From my angle it just looked like an outstanding play from Brooks.

All this BS over the fact that the Bears kicker failed to use a high enough trajectory, and the Bears blocked three Packers into the middle, creating a wedge rush that was legal. All three Packer players were trying to gain access to the kicker, not directly pushing each other.'

If their rush was illegal, I'd venture a guess that at least 2/3 of the middle rushes are illegal, and you wouldn't even be allowed to try to make a block except on the outside.

It seems like way too many fans like to point out one play in a game and say that's why their team lost. Obviously, they don't realize that during the course of the game, there are a lot of penalties that happen and aren't called. Just those that are obvious, and usually those that directly impact a play are flagged.

It's like Howie Long has said, repeatedly. "If you follow the exact words of what offensive holding is, you'd have to call it on every down."

I agree with him. You shouldn't have to play poorly enough that you end up blaming an official, or crew of officials, for not making a call you feel should have been made.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

I'm just frustrated that all the Refs screw-ups prevented the Packers from winning by 30 or more points!

You really need to switch to decaf. The game ended on a clean block by Brooks - aided by a heads-up STC who noticed Santos has a low kick trajectory.

You'd be on better footing saying the Bears should have won that game because it's true. But the Bears let it come down to a kick, failed to advance the ball further with 35 seconds left to give the kicker a better chance, and then failed to stop a perfectly-played block by Brooks.
