He was knocked flat on his back. What are you talking about?

That was easily one of the most egregious calls I have ever seen and I was pissed that the Bears had to burn one of their challenges on that garbage. I’m glad we have replay and all, but the refs need to at least be able to make those calls right. Had the Bears been screwed later because they lacked another challenge I’d have been going all Unabomber.

Except for the guy who grabbed his leg and made him fall in the first place. Watch the play again. Do you have the NFL Network? It will be replayed sometime this week.

Apparantly the Packers are “bad” too. 18 penalties? Besides, if they lost to the Bears…

Get over your Bears hatred. They beat the Cowboys AND the Packers, both of who have been picked to go to the Super Bowl, depending on the pundit you listen to.

No love man…no love.
