Chicago at San Francisco (1 Viewer)

[j3r3m3y]

Wow, 43 miles from San Fran? Any other stadiums nearly that far from their team's geographic name?

Dallas, Jets, there are a bunch actually.

Dallas is about 20 miles. Metlife is less than 10 from Midtown, NYC.

I've been drinking with every flag, cut me some slack.

OK maybe not as far but there are a handful of teams that don't play in the city they call home and coming from the bay area (I have relocated) all my friends are happy about the move. It is much easier to get to a game. DELAY OF GAME! DRINK!

Somebody needs to tell Shea McClellan that this isn't a 1/2 speed drill.

He's fully aware.

:(

 

[j3r3m3y]

Flag on the punt. DRINK!

 

[flapgreen]

Block in tge back so terrible

 

[renesauz]

Not so sure that was a block in the back

 

[dschuler]

so if you catch the ball and switch hands before you go out of bounds,considered incomplete,fix is in

He had possession and two feet in, that's the definition of a catch. It's supposed to be indisputable evidence, don't forget that.

 

[joffer]

I think the refs are having a "who can throw their flag the furthest" contest

 

[SameSongNDance]

And once again, my theory that the NFL would be completely and utterly unwatchable if it wasn't for the redzone channel is proven.

 

[renesauz]

Not so sure that was a block in the back

guess they (rightly) changed their minds on that one

too bad there was another elsewhere

No way on Jets/Giants. They're maybe 10 miles from NY

Wasn't the old one a ways away though? I could be wrong.

Same location as new one.

I thought metlife was in NJ

Watched the Pats and Jets games in full today and they were pretty good. It's the national broadcasts (b/c of the commercials) mixed with all these flags.

This is awful.

 

[dschuler]

Glad I didn't put any money on the Bears, I would be outraged. This game is already sloppy enough without all of these bogus penalties and challenges bogging it down even more.

Is this a joke?

I like to throw a little jack on Sunday and Monday nights, and I am rooting for the Bears more than the Niners so I thought about it.

flippin back and forth to miss america...ha....we need more flags for more commercials.

I tend to have to agree with the theory. Watched the red zone all day, was very entertained. Trying to watch this game, feels like replacement refs during preseason. Seen better high school football.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Drink!

[dschuler]

Is it a requirement to have a flag on every play?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Collinsworth couldn't call a square dance for deaf people.

Yeah, tons of teams don't play in the city they represent. But 43 miles is a long way.

In fact, Santa Clara isn't even in the San Francisco Metropolitan Statistical Area. It's in the San Jose MSA. Yes, both SF and SJ combine to make the SF Combined Statistical Area, so they are generally considered the same metro area by most people.

I just didn't know it was so far away until tonight.

OK, enough lame geography discussions and back to flagball...I mean football.

That actually sounds hard.

 

[renesauz]

Smith owned that dude....but that was a weak holding call.

This particular officiating crew is out of control

I went to Sonic and didn't make it back before kick off. Guess the pot head getting my cheeseburger saved me a little bit of money.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

JFC. Returner muffs a punt and there isn't a Bear for 15 yards. I am sad. This is making me sad.

At least you got some tots.

I will abandon this threadjack too, but first I will point out they are the same TV market, and that's what really matters. And when you live there you just say you live in the "Bay Area", so it still works.

Bring on the flags!

Thank you.

My guy, Conte!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

CONTE! I told you he was good!

 

[RBM]

Wow heckuva play.

I SAID DO-SI-DO!

 

[renesauz]

WOW

nice pick there

 

[twistd]

Will you look at that.

 

[dschuler]

That interception froze up the refs long enough to forget to throw their flag before the offense took the field. It's a miracle!

 

[Bruce Hammond]

Bears offense is offensive.

28 passing yards on 13 attempts.

9 rushing yards on 5 carries.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Can Cutler drive down and score a TD? Show some life? Is that even a possibility?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Conte is like that one girlfriend you had that was a raging witch 90% of the time but once a month she gave you a killer BJ and that's why you keep coming back.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Will you look at that.

I know, Miss Tennessee was slamming.

 

[elitzer]

throw to forte already

 

[ponchsox]

All the talk that the 49ers D wouldn't be a top unit was overblown.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

I feel bad for people that had faith in Cutler to take them to the promised land this year.

 

[Henry Ford]

Conte is like that one girlfriend you had that was a raging witch 90% of the time but once a month she gave you a killer BJ and that's why you keep coming back.

Oh, you know Sarah?

 

[dschuler]

This game would be better if Chicago could get points for first downs. And they would still be losing by a touchdown I bet.

 

[flapgreen]

Where's the qb whisperer?!?!

 

[j3r3m3y]

Dlink!

 

[Raider Nation]

Just imagine how few points the Bears would score tonight if their head coach weren't an offensive genius.
