bears game seven, buccaneers in london at noon

[halplm]

Ugh, why can we not just run a normal offense when we are dominating them?

[UMFan83]

watching this online from a British TV feed. During the commercial breaks, they have a hilariously bad team of guys "analyzing" the game (think a half time show). They are so horrible that they're funbad

 

If you cn remember, give me an example of what they are saying. Sounds really funny.

 

I remember listening to the British broadcasters call the Bulls-Jazz game a couple of years ago from O2 arena, and they were hilarious trying to describe basketball, which is infinitely less complex than football

There are two African-American dudes and a white British guy, and the Brit is totally schooling the Americans with his analysis. The two American dudes are totally lost.

i think robbie was just a little ramped up for that kick, being in the land of kicking and all.

[rawaction]

That dude pretty much backed into Roach. Cheap block in the back call.

[halplm]

That was a terrible call, I swear they want them to play touch football.

[Magnetic Curses]

we're gonna lose

[rawaction]

Challenge it Lovie!

[Magnetic Curses]

nice job, next time go down [expletive]

[rawaction]

So, how does this work? It looks like Urlacher was down, but untouched. Then when he got touched with his knee on the ground, he fumbled.

[minnesotacubsfan]

good challenge

[UMFan83]

Do you need 1 knee down or both? He got 1 knee down before the fumble but not both.

 

That said, I don't think you can conclusively say that the ball was secure when the knee was down. They will uphold the fumble.

 

Not a horrible challenge by Lovie though.

[Magnetic Curses]

it wasn't a fumble, but it's too close to call for the ref on the field.

Yeah, confusing. If I had to guess, I think he should be down by any contact before the ball gets loose.

[UMFan83]

Actually there's one view thatmakes it seem like his knee is down. I won't be mad however they call this, its pretty much 50/50 for me

as soon as he gets touched he's down. you can't fumble on the ground.

NICE CHALLENGE LOVIE

[UMFan83]

Wow Lovie Smith impressively handles a challenge situation and we get the penalty and a turnover

[halplm]

I have no idea what to think of this game any more, I just hope we win :)
