Bears game 16: January 2 @ GB, 3:15 on Fox

[Flames24Rulz]

That was a catch and they didn't even review it.

 

no it wasn't. and the roughing the passer call was shameful

 

Look at it again. He dragged the second foot in before he went out. That's a [expletive] shameful no-call.

[Magnetic Curses]

Aikman on the Internet feed I'm listening to during the commercial break "Can we get the Giants game on up here? I'm a little more interested in that."

 

Oh my goodness. That's awesome.

 

why is he more interested in that?

[Wilson A2000]

abhorrent disregard for decorum

 

Never heard that before.

The toes on his lead foot were over the line.

i'm looking at it, and he's dragging his feet before the catch, but once he contacts the ball, he's out

 

edit: after a 3rd viewing, his right foot flies up just before he catches it

Ho-ho-ho.

 

BRING THE STARTERS BACK OUT.

[SpongeWorthy]

Lol no, that was not close to being a completed catch.

 

What were closer were Green Bay's cowardly (possibly French?) receivers dropping two well thrown balls after that.

[Guest]

Taylor's strengths and weaknesses are similar to Forte's...and Forte is way better.

 

And he makes odd decisions like that last run.

 

Honestly this is why at first I was confused with the Taylor signing. It seemed like they were not signing a change of pace back, but another back with a similar skillset.

 

Exactly. It was pretty obvious. It was one thing if he was coming in to push Forte after Forte had a subpar season but as a change-of-pace/3rd down guy, he just doesn't fit.

Is it possible that he was saying the Giants game is more interesting than one of the other non-playoff games being played right now?

[UMFan83]

It's 10-7 Giants now. If the Bucs somehow snuck into the 6th seed that would be amazing.

 

It would pretty much guarantee the Eagles coming to Chicago in 2 weeks though.

Ho-ho-ho.

 

BRING THE STARTERS BACK OUT.

 

You shameless contrarian, you.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I wish the league would stop [expletive] footing around and just admit they don't want any QBs to be hit ever.

Yep. It is about to the point that they should just make it illegal to hit the quarterback. At least that would be a consistently enforceable rule.

[SpongeWorthy]

Well we're gonna bring the starters in for sure. If Lovie takes them out he'll catch a bunch of [expletive] from the media...whereas he wouldn't have gotten any if he just sat them to begin with.

 

Oh well, I'm invested now. The hilarity of GB losing this game would be epic.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ho-ho-ho.

 

BRING THE STARTERS BACK OUT.

 

You shameless contrarian, you.

 

It's contrarian to want to see them beat Green Bay? You traitorous [expletive].

[Flames24Rulz]

Again, we'd be losing to the Bears third stringers right now too.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lets not get ridiculous

[bukie]

Really, the Bears have been ultra-conservative on offense in the first half, and still lead by 3. High percentage short passes and rushes.

 

Defensively, though, they've played really well.

i thought he was talking about the game he's announcing.

[tfarks]

Ya there's no way to tell. It goes in and out during the breaks.

[Magnetic Curses]

[Soul]

So then the Giants game really doesn't mean anything to the Packers...

[Butterscup1679666578]

catch that ffs

[UMFan83]

C'mon Olsen catch that [expletive].

[Sammy Sofa]

Olsen, you tiny hand-having bastard.
