With the way Clay is spanking chi’s linemen, I don’t think Cutler will even finish the game. ---

Not if Matthews keeps grabbing his facemask. ---

Yes, the three stooges eyepoke is a well-known part of the arsenal. ---

I hate when QBs get extra yards by faking a slide or going out of bounds because the defenders are afraid to hit them. ---

Talking about crooked refs…does anybody else think the refs call penalties on the Ravens too harshly? ---

'Course I do. But I’m from Baltimore. ---

Wow, that was sad. (Hester’s return TD to put the bears ahead 14-10) ---

Hey if Cutler keeps getting pounded, they get good yardage. Maybe the o-line coach is smarter than we think. ---

Oh, this is just pathetic. Dear NFL Players: STOP HITTING QUARTERBACKS IN THE FACE AND HITTING GUYS AFTER THE WHISTLE. It’s making an otherwise fun game unwatchable at this point. ---

Yeah this game is surprisingly chippy. ---

Gah. If the Packers weren’t being so danged stupid, this wouldn’t even be close. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > Gah. If the Packers weren’t being so danged stupid, this wouldn’t even be close. The bears missed a very makeable fg and dropped a pass in the endzone. ---

That wasn’t a very smart timeout call by Lovey on that 3rd and goal play either. The Packers are really imploding. Let’s hope it keeps up. ---

McCarthy is a moron for challenging this. ---

Inexcusable fumble by Jones there, and really inexcusable challenge by McCarthy. Like, firing-level offense. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-3-discussion/554810.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-3-discussion/554810.md?page=9)
