Well, not being able to punch it with 4 tries from the 1 is pretty pathetic.

3 picks in the endzone by the Giants D.

If Detroit's winning TD is negated, a terrible miscarriage of justice has occurred.
Now reviewing...

And Detroit has a chance to win?!
Stafford is injured?!?!?!

Unbelievable. The Bears escape with a totally undeserved win. It's hard to count the number ways in which Lovie, Cutler and the rest of the offense tried to give this away. Not to mention the shell defense employed on the last drive.
This play should result in a rule change. I'm a big Bears fan but, frankly, Detroit got robbed. Bigtime.

I couldn't see the Bears-Lions game but Bears waaaay outgained the Lions (463 yards to 168).

Exactly. I mean I didn't see the game, but it's clear from the stat-line that the Bears way outplayed the Lions. Fumbles were the only reason why the Bears didn't blow out the Lions.

True. But ball security is Job One, and the Bears were epic fail with 4 TOs. All the yards in the world mean squat if you don't hang onto the rock.

Mike Vick is on the field as much as Kevin Kolb at this point.

I don't know... The Giants had 4 turnovers (3 interceptions, 1 fumble plus a safety so really 5 turnovers) against the Panthers but still killed them. You can recover from turnovers if your team is just that much better and the Bears showed they are that much better than the Lions.

amazing INT by Charles Woodson. Make sure you check that out on the highlight reels (assuming the challenge doesn't overturn it)

I haven't seen the replay yet, but everything I've read seems to indicate that the Lions just got ****ed straight up the ass.

I don't see what the issue is. Johnson, palming the ball with arm extended, put it on the ground and dropped it. Doesn't matter that he was getting up; on a pass, the rule is you have to keep possession all the way to the ground, and he didn't.
Stupid on his part, really. He could have tucked it away.

So you're saying it was the right decision to bench Kolb today?

Kolb isn't even starting for the Eagles in the traditional sense... Vick has been on the field just as much as Kolb.So you're saying it was the right decision to bench Kolb today?

I'm not saying the call was technically incorrect. I'm saying that any rule that produces such an obviously unjust result needs to be re-examined.I don't see what the issue is. Johnson, palming the ball with arm extended, put it on the ground and dropped it. Doesn't matter that he was getting up; on a pass, the rule is you have to keep possession all the way to the ground, and he didn't.

And how's that working out for them?

Oh holy ****.
I just saw the replay.
He got three feet inbounds, then a knee, then his left hand hit out of bounds, and then he set the ball down on turf.
That is a touchdown by any and every defintion of rules. That was an even worse call than I was expecting, and remember, I'm a Lions fan, so I expect the worst as a genetic trait.
That is just... I just... oh holy ****, what the **** is with the Lions? Seriously? Did Bobby Layne spit on a gypsy witch or something back in the 50s? What the **** is going here?
