Oh dear.

Manning is off tonight and the Bears need to capitalize. They still haven't hit him hard.

 

He rarely gets hit by anyone, but I agree they need to get more pressure.

 

As for the fumble call, to go back to that, I don't understand something. The refs agree it was a fumble, but just because they couldn't figure out who ended up with it (when it looks, btw, like it was Wolfe from the start) they give it back to the fumbling team? How does that make sense? It's a 50/50 call at that point. Puzzling.

 

It was BS, they basically made up a rule or it came in effect before the season started b/c if he fumbles that ball is live and whoever ends up with it once the whistle blows gets it obviously.

 

The challenge was whether or not it was a fumble. The Bears challenged it, saying it was a fumble. The refs said it was fumble but could not determine who recovered it, so Indy got the ball.

 

It was a [expletive] call, a call that might end up deciding the game.

[Magnetic Curses]

woops. nice idea, but it turned out bad.

[Soul]

WUT.

 

Come on Devin. Someone get in his ear. That's just horrible.

[Guest]

What the hell, Hester.

[Careless]

Horray for stupidity

[Jon]

The Colts didn't bite and he had nowhere to go. What a terrible decision.

[Guest]

Hester must have gotten baked during halftime.

[kujay]

Gah, not the start we needed. What we need now is a big punt from Maynard.

[Cynosure]

Hester made another smart play, it didn't pay off. That was either nothing... or a TD.

[Magnetic Curses]

hester just forgot that players who were lucky to make the team cannot afford to give up.

 

if he slips through, there, he could have taken it.

[Soul]

Hester must have gotten baked during halftime.

 

He gets too full of himself sometimes.

[imb]

if he would have pulled that off, it would have been the play of the year

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Stuck at work, what happened?

[kujay]

if he would have pulled that off, it would have been the play of the year

 

Agreed. Wasn't disastrous. Just need the defense to keep on it.

[Cynosure]

Stuck at work, what happened?

 

Hester stood in the endzone like he did against the Giants.

 

He didn't down the ball and waited for the Indy defense to let up. One guy figured it out and tackled him, it was a smart/ingenious move, again.

[kujay]

Stuck at work, what happened?

 

Hester caught the ball seven yards deep and kind of rope-a-doped for a few seconds, then took off. But a guy tripped him up at the 3.

[Magnetic Curses]

nice punt by maynard.

[Soul]

Agreed. Wasn't disastrous. Just need the defense to keep on it.

It could well cost us 4 or 7 points.

 

It was dumb. He didn't have the defense fooled they were still running full speed.

[Guest]

Stuck at work, what happened?

 

Kick to the back of the end zone, he just stood around acting like he was about to take a knee and then took it out. Got tackled inside the 5.

[Magnetic Curses]

i tell you what would be nice here, the old tipped pass into the arms of mike brown, who takes it to the house.

 

that would bring back memories.

[cubweiser03]

Hester has the green light. it only cost them 15 yards.

Hes done crazy stuff before and fumbled. its the iks to the nay.

[Jon]

Hester stood in the endzone like he did against the Giants.

 

He didn't down the ball and waited for the Indy defense to let up. One guy figured it out and tackled him, it was a smart/ingenious move, again.

It was at least three. He had one guy coming right at him, one from the left, and one just waiting for him a tad off to the right. He was standing still and surrounded.

he ususally has excellent instincts, so he gets a pass from me.
