BEAUTIFUL.

 

that play is a complete guarantee to work 100% of the time in the red zone

[Keener98]

Great call Turner, fantastic.

[JonJayCutler]

Nice job Olsen going down and getting that pass.

[Jon]

That's two uncharacteristically poorly thrown passes to wide open TEs on the last two TD passes. But both were caught. No harm, no foul.

[UMFan83]

Man the Bears really have that "TE get open in the end zone" play down pat huh?

[Soul]

I'm starting to really like this cutler kid

[hawkeyecub]

That was definitely the right decision by the Bears.

 

I'm just not sure why you're comfortable running that play from the 1 but didn't want to run it from the 2.

[UMFan83]

Nice job Olsen going down and getting that pass.

 

I know, I thought he was gonna botch it at first. Phew, I would have been devastated if we got 0 points out of that, field position be dammed.

[Sosa21MVP]

That was definitely the right decision by the Bears.

Maybe they felt like the defense would be forced to bite on the run from a yard closer in? I dunno.

[Keener98]

That was definitely the right decision by the Bears.

Me either. Like I said, you are at home, and supposed to be the better team, go for it on 4th down before the penalty.

[Butterscup1679666578]

of course hester is hurt.

[UMFan83]

That was definitely the right decision by the Bears.

Well if you look at the Lions, they obviously sold out on the run. Not sure they would have done that from the 2 as I'm sure they know the Bears have had trouble running the ball in from within the 5 yard line.

[kujay]

Dammit, ESPN told me to sub in Hester for Hines Ward, so I made the move at like 11:55.

 

Dammit.

[Keener98]

of course hester is hurt.

 

Whatever it is it doesnt look serious. He took a good hit on that pass by the endzone

[JonJayCutler]

Hopefully its just a stinger. WR is one place where we can't afford injuries.

[Outshined_One]

I hate pink jerseys and pink hats.

That was definitely the right decision by the Bears.

Greater chance the d will cheat up on the run when it's less than a yard - especially given the bears past behavior on the goal line

[Keener98]

That didnt look like a catch

[kujay]

Didn't look like he got that second foot down.

[UMFan83]

Did anyone see Adrian Peterson went to the locker room?

 

Hester injured too questionable to come back

[Outshined_One]

Knee down, but did he maintain control?

[JonJayCutler]

We're going to need that bye week next week.

I understand that, I just think it would have been the right decision to go for it from the 2 and they probably would have had the same result. It was inside the 2 on the original 4th down.

[kujay]

Wait, so if his right foot and right knee are down inbounds that's a catch? If so, it is. I didn't know that though.

[Keener98]

Knee down, but did he maintain control?

 

Foot and knee equals catch, only question really is if his hand hit out of bounds before the knee hit
