Did anyone catch that trick punt return by the Bears?

This belief, incredibly unlikely though it may normally be, is not at all believable when you consider that the flag was beginning to be thrown when the ball was barely in the air and no one had any idea it would be anything but a normal return.

All we have is a brilliant play that was ruined, by a moron lineman who had no reason to hold anyone if he believed in the trick play, and now we are upset about it being called back and need a scapegoat. The gamblers did it, obviously.
