Game Thread - CHI @ SD (1 Viewer)

Hester will break one open here if SD keeps punting.

that could have cost the chargers the game.

Stop. The score is 3-0. There is still plenty of ball to be played. And there is no guarantee that the Chargers would have scored a TD there, especially given how dominant the Bears 'D' has been.

This is very true. If the Chargers end up losing it. It's not due to this call.

This is sarcasm, right?

Not really. The Chargers' offense has been out of synch all game. The line isn't busting open the holes they did last year. Tomlinson is obviously rusty. Rivers threw an INT. If they lose, it's because of what happened the other 59 and half minutes.

I am not disagreeing with you on the fact that Chicago is dominating the Chargers O. I am disagreeing that if they lose by 7 or less they have a legitimate gripe. They were on the 1 inch line.

Karma.

Hester can't get a return.

 

[flapgreen]

Geez

GAH!

There you go Chargers fans, a little gift from the football gods.

Bad calls happen, good teams overcome diversity.

These officials might get a week off next week.

He was blocking somebody, Coach.

Can't have a fumble if the ball is never snapped. How do officials possibly miss that?

Center's arm is moving with the ball in it... I think the defender was offsides, but by no more than 1/15th of a second. Too close for the human eye to really tell if it was at the same time or not.

Do you know how long 1/15th of a second is? Maybe your vision just sucks.

The HD cameras record at 60 frames per second. I counted the clicks forward on the slow-mo replay.Harris' helmet moved 4 "clicks" on the slow-mo before the center's hand moved. 4/60=1/15th of a second.

I do this professionally, man. Check out the camera that was lined up on the neutral zone. 4 frames between the helmet entering the neutral zone and the ball's movement.

I don't get it.

 

[The Gator]

Replay confirms Bears were WAY offsides.... SD got screwed there. Any bears homers not acknowledging this have zero credibility.

True. Sucks for SD. Better them than us.Sidenote: I've got LT on my fantasy team. I'm willing to lose my FF game if it means a Bears win.

A TRUE Bears Fan.

Although I did bench the Bears D for Minnesota...who got me 24 FF pts.

Minn D > Chi. Real sharks know this.

Take a break during the TO?

Even then... as bad as the Chargers' offense has looked at times, there is no way I would have guaranteed a TD at that point. I guess you could make an argument that they should have easily had 3, but they already had one FG blocked in the 1st quarter, so no guarantee there either.

Bears still trying to cheat.. luckily the refs have their eyes open this time

Butter fingers.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Nice pass, risky throw.

Jackson just isn't very good.

Having a terrible game.. hit him right in the shoulder.

EDIT: Nevermind... very light tip on that play

Nice catch to follow

Is this about the terrorists again?

"Hillen Huntenmeyer"

 

[Despyzer]

Would have been tough for Jackson to catch that ball.. I hate it when they hit me on the numbers in the end zone.

 

[ditka311]

He needs to make that catch.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Butter fingers.

Butter shoulder.

 

[flapgreen]

The heat the Bears are bringing is just unbelievable. Even I'm shocked.

 

[Despyzer]

Lorenzo Neal with the most impressive offensive play of the day for the Chargers.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

There it is.

 

[GrossmanToHester]

Damn...nice play.

 

[videoguy505]

Now, now, you know I meant HD TV production. The username didn't come out of thin air.

 

[Despyzer]

Who didn't see that play developing?

 

[[icon]]

GATES baby

Chargers starting to figure out the Cubs D

 

[jurb26]

Bears have no excuse for falling for that play.

 

[flapgreen]

Nice play.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I was wondering if Norv was gonna be smart enough to take advantage of their over aggressiveness.

 

[jonessed]

They keep losing Gates. I wish Rivers was having a better game because he has time and Gates is open a lot.

 

[jonessed]

He needs to make that catch.

It was tipped.

 

[flapgreen]

Bears have no excuse for falling for that play.

It was a nice play. They can't stop everything.

 

[sos32]

you may stop me from running, put a dent in me on the catching, but I'll get you with passing...love LT

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

They keep losing Gates. I wish Rivers was having a better game because he has time and Gates is open a lot.

Amazing that they keep losing that guy. You'd think he was a first year player or something.

 

[Pygmy Marmoset]

It's the every single year play! Huzzah!

 

[tombonneau]

Seriously. How many TDs does LT need to throw before people start defending that play?

 

[Southside Stosh]

Those sneaky Chargers... Nice play calling by San Diego on this drive.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Bears have no excuse for falling for that play.

It did look like a really bad run but it's hard to not be going 100% at LT when he has the ball.

 

[jonessed]

Seriously. How many TDs does LT need to throw before people start defending that play?

It's the same play, from the same side, at the same general yardage. I guess they have it down because it's a TD more often than not.

 

[Despyzer]

Bears have no excuse for falling for that play.

When Tomlinson starts backpedaling after the pitch, it should be obvious what is coming. Especially after that UnderArmor commercial.
