1/15 Round 2: Bears vs. Panthers

[Brian]

If it's called not a touchdown it's still 1st and Goal right???

[rickrolled]

Well, it' won't be a td, but we will have 1st and goal at the 1.

[Mike Aller]

No doubt, clearly not a touchdown. Then again, I was saying something earlier today along the lines of "that is clearly an interception".

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So when they rule it a touchback, do the Bears get to use the facemask penalty and keep the ball?

[CP_414]

if we lose is it bears ball on the 1 because of the penalty on the 2, or a touchback and Carolina ball on the 10?

[Banedon]

The penalty negates the fumble, right?

[Mark_R]

Did the refs for all the games have a competition to see who could be the most incompetent this weekend!?

[stitchface]

philosophically it better be bears ball since a facemask could cause a fumble.

[Jon]

So many questions, so few answers.

 

Not that I have one, though.

[USSoccer]

The penalty negates the fumble, right?

 

If it doesn't, it would follow the season long trend of Smith and the coaches being idiots when it comes to accepting penalties and handling challenges.

[sweetpeteman]

The penalty negates the fumble, right?

 

I believe so. I am 99% sure that it will, so it should be 1st and goal on the 1 or something close to that.

[Banedon]

How about just saying there's not enough evidence and the TD stands??? :D

[stitchface]

I think it does since it happened pre-fumble.

[USSoccer]

I think it does since it happened pre-fumble.

 

Either way Jones is a moron for fumbling it.

[CP_414]

The penalty negates the fumble, right?

It has to...If this were the middle of the field the Bears wouldn't lose the ball if there was a personal foul.

[Jon]

Half the distance from the previous spot, from the sound of it.

[stitchface]

The penalty negates the fumble, right?

half the distance. should be on the 3.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Phew.

[CP_414]

Thank God

[sweetpeteman]

1st and goal.

[stitchface]

phew.

[Mike Aller]

Yeah, facemask negates it.

[Jon]

Nearly crapped my pants for nothing.

[Brian]

we are getting breaks!

[stitchface]

that's not a break - he cheated!
