2 bad calls already. The call for roughing the passer (Cutler) was BS, and now that should have been a hit OB by the Bears. I’m in Chicago and I’m a Bears fan, but SHIT! What game are these guys watching? 'cause it ain’t the game I’m watching. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > This really needed it’s own thread? Not really. But I will say that after the bad out-of-bounds hit no call, the refs did randomly move the ball two yards forward to give NO a first down. So I say it’s 2-1 Bears on bad calls. ---

Cutler always looks like he’s just woken up after a night of hard drinking. ---

Apparently, the refs didn’t want it bad enough!
