Terry McCauley, Head referee

[Rush]

Remember in Week 3 when the Bears beat the Packers and they had a team-record 18 penalties called on them. We swore up and down they beat themselves and the refereeing was fine.

Do you think some of the no-calls/calls made today were in effort to redeem himself after this piss poor act of officiating in Week 3? I can sympathize with how Packer fans felt week 3 because this shit was abysmal.

 

[Jntg4]

He's an asshole, that's all.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Called a HORRIBLE game today. Absolutely terrible.

Interesting theory. We will never know.

 

[NealKleren]

I don't think its because of what happened in week 3,I think they just sucked at refereeing.

 

[bobferg]

It wasn't that bad. The grounding call was pretty shit..... other then that it was called great.

 

[FirstTimer]

The game was terribly officiated. Some bad PI calls bad grounding call bad holding call on Taylor

 

[Rush]

I hate it when teams blame games on bad officiating but that was pretty bad.

No, it really wasn't.

2005 Seahawks might disagree.

Not that anyone cares

 

[thedude33]

Yeah, there were some questionable calls for sure but I don't like to bitch about officials after a loss. That shit's gay.

 

[TopekaRoy]

There were some bad calls and bad no-calls today just like week 3. But that's not the reason the Bears lost. Packers just outplayed them.

They did get away with a lot of holding, though ...

 

[bobferg]

Bitching about holding is the worst thing a football fan can do. There is holding on every play. You really want to see holding? Watch Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, I guarantee one is held on every pass play.

That is the game. The game is tilted offensively, so there are less holdings called.

 

[BrewCrewFan]

lolRush. Please tell me where this bad "reffing" was.

The only questionable call was the intentional grounding call, and that was iffy because the throw was nowhere near the WR.

Other then that, are you talking about the roughing the passer call on Peppers or the pass interference on Jones at the 5? Both calls were made correctly as well.

It was fucking close though, right? We had a chance and I think we decided to rest Cutler's knee instead.

 

[FirstTimer]

Oh and the Knox "out of bounds at the one" when he wasn't. That was a score. It didn't hurt the Bears as they scored on the next play but still a missed call.

Oh and the "interception" at the end of the first half. I wasn't aware the ball could hit the ground bounce around into your stomach and still have that be "control". Hell, the ref in the Fox booth thought it was an incomplete pass within the first viewing of the replay.

Replay is not live. Refs only get one look at it.

The play was reviewed...................

 

[bobferg]

The play was reviewed...................

And was overturned.

I would return you with obama, but I hate to look at his face.
