Do you get any AM radio from Utah coming in through that tinfoil helmet?
If so, are Living Colour still atop their rock charts?

I let all my anger go in the form of damaging all Wisconsin freight at work yesterday night.

I think most Bear fans are stand up enough to say that the officiating was shit yesterday but won't agree that that's why the Bears lost, given the fact that AR has had so much success vs the Bears throughout his career. Bad calls extended drives for both teams, but 2 turnovers in a game with 2 wretched defenses means the Bears lost 2 possessions, and possessions in a game like that are critical. that's why Tres tried to steal one with the onsides.

The Bears lost because the Packers are better at football than they are.
The refs are abysmal.
These statements are not mutually exclusive.

I do admit there were a lot of flags thrown, more than I've seen ever. Of course they have to draw the line somewhere and I've heard the 49er's are notorious for penalties and in that case they need to just stop whatever they're doing wrong. Then at the same time you have to figure when your running fast things are gonna happen and player will get hurt. With Dick Butkus at yesterday's Bears game I've seen old footage of him and don't think he did any wrong, though I've heard he tried to hurt players and while it's gonna happen as I said before if he did go out of his way to injure players that's wrong.
I think if a player is trying to touch a players helmet, grabbing the face mask, that's wrong, those helmets are worn for a reason and shouldn't try to mess with them risking they come off.
Of course that's not to say that they maybe overdoing it.
Probably the concussion issues and lawsuits from former players are perhaps causing any possible overdoing of these things.
What can I say?

Not sure that's true. I can think of one, maybe 2 players I'd take over their Bears counterparts. Once again though, the Bears were outcoached.

Yeah but when one is the most important position on the field and it's a gulf of a difference, that offsets a lot of the other stuff.

Is that directed towards me? Are you getting sensitive and imagining that things are being aimed at you again?
It was aimed at Guitarman. The fact that the refs are idiots doesn't change the fact that GB is still the better team until shown otherwise.

It was in the context of the larger argument. They sucked yesterday but did not 'cost us the game' any more than they won it for us vs the 49ers

Right. As bad as they were, they weren't the cause of the outcome. That's what I'm saying.

Speaking of aiming, try to keep your arguments free of ad hominem attacks, since I know you hate that

You are correct on both counts, however I'd rather let the Bears be abysmal without any help from the equally abysmal officiating..

refs were TERRIBLE. sure, there were calls against both teams, but calls (and non-calls) really hurt us more. i heard somebody say today 7-2, bad calls Bears-Packers. and the ones that were against us were BIG calls that were bad (no td before half, no call on jordy pushing off / stiff arm vs fuller for td, holding on fg by our def, etc.).
