Why are you still discussing this??? Its been 3 series since then. Get over it.How about he was grasping the ball to his chest, even after he was hit. It's hard to make a "football move" when you're falling to the earth after being crunched. He had possession, there was no bobble at all, despite the vicious hit, which is hard to fathom in the first place. The refs gave it to Chicago because the initial hit caused the man to hit the ground, which caused the fumble. Maybe they need to re-look at how that rule is explained (the ground cannot cause a fumble rule).He never made a "football move" after he caught the ball, therefore it was a goodcall.See - I thought he had possession. He caught it, was DRILLED, hit the ground and the ball popped out. I see down by contact - and I want Chicago to win this game here.
No way you can say that the ball came out BEFORE his butt hit the ground. They blew that call big-time.

Offensive Line guru Alex Gibbs had better determine that the Bears don't put up with that zone blocking cr@p.

I think Vick changed the play in the huddle...doesn't want to be killed

That wasn't the worst call of the night though. The worst call of the night was Paul Maguire - "Urlacher is the fastest player on the Bears defense"

I will give Grossman this. Since he is completing passes Jones has had more room to rum, that is when he doesn't run into Grossman.

You didn't really expect Vick to complete a 2 yard pass did you?I think Vick changed the play in the huddle...doesn't want to be killed

I agree, terrible call. He clearly had possession and couldn't make a football move cause he was being tackled. The ground caused that fumble and should have been Atlanta's ball.

The Bears offense(with Orton) should kneel the ball(not spike it) a la Water Boy.

I am not so sure that Kordell has had a game as bad as this one.

That's an insult to Kordell.

Urlacher owns Vick. The Bears own the NFC South and the NFC Central. Seattle on the other hand...

That little 60+ yards of garbage time that Vick just had put me behind for the week. Granted, I only need Gado to have 18 yards tomorrow, but I would have liked it to be over. What a terrible game that was.

good luck, you would think the game was in the bag. I'm in the same situation (need 30 yard from Gado) but for some reason I see him laying an egg.

Ninja please, that was a hard hitting, defensive game. Add Grossman coming in and looking pretty sharp and it was entertaining.
