    I just cant see how you take away a chance to have the lead. Your d makes a huge play for you and gives you the ball at the 1 yard line and you get 0 points from it? It took the Bears until 1:30 left to actually take the lead. They apparently didnt have a huge margin of error. If we're talking about nebulous moral victories then their D holding you to a field goal in that situation is a win for them. The thing is, sticking a crappy offense on its own one foot line is a big advantage. You kick a FG, you give them the ball and they presumably aren't standing in the shadow of their own goal post on the next drive. A 1 point lead with 9 minutes left isn't some insurmountable lead. The worst part of the sequence was not sneaking it on 1st and goal.

    Although the numbers say punting from around the opponents 40 on 4th and <5 is a dumb move too.

    I'm going to defend Lovie on that one particular call. I don't mind it that much. I bet the hard numbers say you go for it on 4th down in that situation unless you're talking about the clock really being a factor.

    GB opening up a can.

    Yeah he's a boom or bust QB. But there's always room for improvement. I'll take this type of game out of him for the most part...that 3rd and 20 wasn't a killer, if it hadn't been returned a decent amount it would've been as effective as one of Maynard's weak ass punts.

    Lotta people going down in this Packers/Eagles game.

    Kevin Kolb stinks. FREE MIKE VICK

    It's gonna be a 1 EST start according to the Bears website. Does Dallas usually play home games at 1 EST? Seems like they're one of the more popular late game starts.

    who had coverage on johnson on the play in question, because he was covered well and johnson just made a great play. Pretty sure Bowman was on him all game.

    You can't have expected any different than that UMFan. If that call went against the Bears there'd be a riot.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    lol, it wasn't that weak. They had 100 yards of total offense until Peppers bashed Stafford. And then they did shut down Hill for whatever that's worth. He's started before! They didn't really run it much either.

    There were also more effective halfback screen passes today than in the entire Ron Turner era.

    Detroit's defensive line is pretty damn good I have to say. I thought the pass protection was pretty bad in the 2nd half but OK for the most part. I just didn't like not having any apparent check down options on the deeper drops for Cutler. Forte was great aside from the fumble.

    If the Eagles win we're in sole possession of 1st place in the North!
  15. SpongeWorthy
    It should've been a TD because the rule is stupid not because the call was bad.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    ONLY MY TEAMS
  17. SpongeWorthy
    I've seen that call made before. Happened in last years opener between the Chargers and the Raiders IIRC.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    lol

    No it's not, it's football and that happens. The sad part is sabotaging a game with ignorance. It's very difficult to stop a QB sneak from getting a foot. Once you hand it off on first down and lose another foot you're behind the 8 ball (sorta).
  20. SpongeWorthy
    I want to know what the record is for most punts in a game from inside of your opponents 40.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    Also, Brad Maynard sucks.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    I know you're all outraged about the 4th down call. I am too. But not being able to get a foot on 4 plays is the really sad part.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    Where are the safety valves?
  24. SpongeWorthy
    It really is hilarious that we're still losing this game.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    Why don't you sneak it on first [expletive] down?
