It makes them better, but it doesn't make them perfect. For some reason, it just seems like we are going to have to deal with an occasional replay ruling that makes no sense as long as humans are looking at the replays.

jenksycat Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 07:47 PM) IIRC, a "too many men" penalty is just a 5 yard penalty. Even if they would've gotten the call, it would've been 4th and 6. IMO, you don't take the chance unless your 100% sure or if your at the 50 beyond, not on your own 30. EDIT- STRANGESOX BEAT ME TO THAT ONE. No it does work because you either: get the first down or get the penalty and punt away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) So a day after, I'm actually encouraged as a Bears fan. They lost the TO battle 4-0, wasted 2 challenges on obvious calls, had an idiotic direct snap by the ever reliable Patrick Mannelly, their $15m new LG Frank Omiyale looked terrible, Olsen and Forte had a combined 1 catch, Tinosamoa and Urlacher missed practically the whole game, and they lost by 6 points on a TD with 1:10 left + a 2 point conversion. If it takes all that to beat the Bears by 6 in a tough place to play like Green Bay, I still think the Bears can win 10 games. Meh, I'm never with the 'We played horrible and only lost by whatever' spin job. Bottomline is they lost. The offensive line was pretty terrible for the most part. I can't even come up with the words to describe how terrible Omiyale was (although Allen Barbre was shockingly worse). Orlando pace is toast as a run blocker. Nowhere near as athletic and explosive as he once was (obviously not a surprise at his age). The rest of the line was pretty blah. The blocking overall was pretty bad, including that of Forte/Olsen/Clark. The Packer d was just furious last night. I was very impressed. I know Cutler wasn't nearly as bad as the stats last night suggest (at least two of those picks were not his fault). But the inexperience and lack of talent around him outside of Forte/Olsen is no fluke. I think people really underestimate how good he had it in Denver. I was pleased with the defense for the most part (although it's obviously been severely weakened with Brian's injury). Adewale looked like Bruce Smith in his prime. But that's obviously not gonna happen every week. I still think our secondary sucks. And it was exposed rather easily when we couldn't generate a pass rush. I like your optimism. But I'd be shocked if this team won 10 games. Edit: I forgot to mention that I hate Nathan Vasher. How does a guy go from pro-bowl caliber at 25 to practice squad caliber at 27?

knightni Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pretty lame call by the refs on the called back Raiders TD pass. The guy had the ball in the end zone with two feet touching, what else do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, why would you do anything different from what they have all game long that has been very effective. The only difference is Id tell the safeties not to get beat deep.

Kyyle23 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have to say I was mildly impressed with Chucky in the booth. He was relaxed and didnt play up the growling persona that everyone places on him. Jaws was pissing me off because he kept telling Chucky he was wrong very blatantly.
