Game 6: Packers @ Bears - Sunday, October 17th, Noon

[OldHeidelberg]

Waste of a challenge. Has to be pretty obvious to overturn spot calls. Looked basically down right at the 50 to me.

 

Well they gave him a little past the 50 I thought but I don't know where the stick was

[PinaMadness]

That challenge was McCarthyesque.

[adambr2]

Emotional decision by MLF which never had any realistic chance of working.

[worm81]

Thank you rookie QB

It's always frustrating on plays like that 4th down where the sideline view is going to be the one you want to see, but all we saw before the commercial were anything but the sideline view.

[PinaMadness]

How did the officials not call off sides on that? We got a gift there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

well, thats the kind of throw I expect Fields to make.

[adambr2]

So that wasn't a free play? Sure looked like a free play to me.

[adambr2]

Any sort of offensive game plan today ?

Apparently run east and west against a fast defense…

[adambr2]

He's short.

[young guns]

That was very close. I'm not sure who the dlineman was, but if crossed the line it wasn't by much. The bears reacted after the snap.

[PinaMadness]

Well it looks like this one will be overturned. A much clearer view when it's not inside a scrum. Bubba Franks in the playoff game against Seattle in 2007 comes to mind.

[PinaMadness]

About time we let Rodgers sneak it.

[worm81]

Rodgers QB sneak. Haven't seen that in forever.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Didn't think we were gonna snap it. Just another one of those dumb things where Rodgers was gonna hard count and try to draw the defense off sides, which hasn't worked for like 6 years.

And if it does work the offender should be cut immediately after the game.

It seemed like an easy call to me. Near midfield, 4th and 1. Take the chance.

 

Would have been a certain punt 15 or 20 years ago but the game has changed.

[PinaMadness]

Nice play design. Touchdown.

[DuWayne Steurer]

creative play call there on the one. Nicely done.

[adambr2]

Nice play design. Touchdown.

 

One of those plays that's "genius" if it works and "got too cute" if it doesn't.

Lots of coaches are looking at the metrics of punting and going for it a lot more. I like it.

[OldHeidelberg]

For all the trickery it was a close thing, both getting the ball to Lazard and getting it in. Whew, wasn't feeling great about a 4th down

[PinaMadness]

JUST. KICK. THE. BALL. OUT. OF. THE. END. ZONE.

So due to watching on Hulu and seeing this before the play I was fearing a TD return. Just to the 30? meh
