Top 10 reasons why the Bears lost

[bucky]

Not if the ball touches the ground Plus if he lost control of the ball well after he hits the ground then that means he should have been down at the one.

Like I said, McCauley can't have it both ways on the call...even if you want to say the ball didn't touch the ground.

Said I was done with this.

Not if the ball touches the ground...but if we want to get away from that point... If he lost control of the ball "well after" he hits the ground then that means he should have been down at the one as Knox touched him as he was first falling to the ground, by definition, "well before" he lost control.

Like I said, McCauley can't have it both ways on the call...even if you want to say the ball didn't touch the ground.

When I was in grade school playing touch football, whenever someone would tag me, I'd bobble the ball and continue running. I would say I didn't have possession of the ball when I was tagged, so technically I wasn't down.

Very effective argument on my part.

That's why you use flags.

Can't pull the flag of someone with no possession

We used to use fake kneel downs where we would fake kneel the ball on kick offs and punts but not let our knee touch the ground then take off.

I still think it was a pick and Heath Miller's was a catch down near the goal line in the first quater.

My question.... He have HD we Satellites that see the Chinese taking shits and Kinect (lol), but when it come to instant replay we get the worst angles, fuzzy pictures and stills of the play that miss the question at hand. WHY

Play calling was bad all game from the Bears.

I agree...Martz wanted to do well and tried to run, but the line wasnt good enough yesterday.

I've heard that the "Jet Sweep" they ran on third down wasn't the play call. Hanie mixed it up.

Lets hope so because if your "golden" Offensive Coordinator called that play and didnt give it to atleast Hester like Fed said, your a RA-TARD

bama:

Again incorrect.

Hanie said in the post game that the jet sweep was the original play call. The headset was cutting out so he tried to piece the call together in the huddle and basically audibled to the formation/run we saw right before the timeout was called. During the timeout they got the playcall clearly and went back out to run it.

5) Urlacher intercepts, but gets tackled by Rodgers. The Bears really needed a big play, and Urlacher provided it, but it would have been nice if he could have avoided Rodgers and scored a TD. It looked like Urlacher was jogging, and Rodgers’ tackle didn’t look strong enough to trip up Urlacher.

Yeah, this was crazy. As soon as he picked it off I was thinking he'd be gone. I remember back at New Mexico, Urlacher used to return kicks. I was shocked at how fast Rodgers was able to cut off the angle, he looked two steps faster. I get that Rodgers is a fairly fast QB and Urlacher is way past his college days, but athletically I'd have given the edge to Urlacher just having to guess. The cut back attempt was pretty half assed as well.

Not that I'm harping on the play as the reason they lost, just something that I found surprising.

That tackle by Rodgers was huge. But then so was the int.
