Did anyone catch that trick punt return by the Bears?
I was watching it live yesterday and it was literally the most brilliant trick play I've ever seen in my life.
Of course, the officials (most likely influenced by some Vegas line or O/U) threw a phantom holding penalty on a guy that wasn't within 20 yards of anyone...but anyways... The punter punted the ball...and the entire Bears team with Hester all drifted to the left side of the field...Hester decoyed it like he was calling a fair catch...only for the ball to be punted to the right side of the field where Johnny Knox was all alone with a lead blocker who escorted him 80 yards for an uncontested TD... It was SO COOL. I can't believe no one has ever tried that before. |

Wait, did Hester actually wave for a fair catch?
I think if anyone on the receiving team signals fair catch, the ball is dead at the spot it's caught. |

I love how Hester gave a little laugh as all the Packers players surrounded him and were like "where the **** is the ball?"
as for if he really waved for a fair catch? I don't know...I thought it looked like he did...I was so enamored with how cool the play was I didn't bother noticing... |

i laughed so hard at the phantom holding call, how the NFL can even justify stuff like that is pathetic.
that guy was no where close to anyone, a defender, a teammate, a anything. There was 3 guys on that side of the field and no defenders for like 20 yards lol |

Cromartie picked off Peyton Manning back in the 2007 playoffs and there was a phantom holding call on Eric Weddle that brought back a TD right at halftime. I am still convinced that the refs were trying to influence that game. The Chargers still won.

Packers were -5...
if they gave the Bears that TD it would have killed that line... O/U was 45.5...Bears get that TD the over hits...and everyone knows the over is a fish bet...bookies make money on the under all the time because the fish love offense. So I am willing to bet that call had some Vegas influence...funny now that I actually look at the lines. |

That drew a hold, but Tamba can't draw one after getting raped over and over again??? The officiating in this league is garbage.

If that is the hold they called, it was a ****ing horribly late thrown flag. The flag wasn't on the field until after Knox had the ball and started the return.
