> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > **Hamlet** > Well, being aware and being around the ball are skills. The bounce was lucky, but you complain about the Bears luck all the time. It gets old. The Bears are lucky. An injury to the Packers’ LT early (he’s back though), the bounce off a foot interception were two examples I used in this game. If it gets tiresome to you, I apologize. ---

> [@Library\_Boy](#): > > And the NFL instructed the refs to make sure the Packers win because…? Ratings, I suppose. I don’t know. I only know they get these kinds of bullshit calls week after week after week, and they never get anything like it _against_ them. The league once admitted that during a Packers-Vikings game, the zebras had made nine bad calls in the 4th quarter alone, all nine in favor of the Packers. That kind of thing isn’t a coincidence. Just the year, the League admitted that the zebras had gotten two touchdown calls wrong in the firts game against the Packers, both imn favor of the packers - a 14 point swing. The head of officiating even admitted that the interception call was wrong on two counts at the end of this quarter. You tell me, why do all these bad calls always go 100% of the time in favor of the Packers? ---

In the first Bears Packers game the Packers set a record for penalties. ---
