Football Did anyone catch that trick punt return by the Bears? - Page 3

Pasta Little Brioni · 09-26-2011, 06:46 PM

I totally don't give a shit about the Bears, but calls like that boil my blood.

**Bugeater** · 09-26-2011, 06:50 PM

That end zone replay starts halfway through the play, I'm wondering if something happened before that.

**Bugeater** · 09-26-2011, 06:51 PM

Ah, kstater got it. It was a cool play though.

donkhater · 09-26-2011, 06:53 PM

You know what was puzzling about that play? The PUNTER is running towards Hester, too. Doesn't he know which direction the ball was punted? How did he get fooled?

Cool play. Horrible call.

I have to ask why run it then? The game was all but over and now its toast.

Not much chance they were going to score again in the last minute after that.

that was my thought? Why burn such a brilliant play on a likely unwinnable game.

people are going to have to start watching the ball instead of just keying in on hester. So maybe that gives him more room to work down the road. I have a feeling they've had that play going more than once, but it would take a kick to the corner for it to work. I would think.

I rewound that play a few times on Sunday, just to marvel at the brilliance of it. Unfortunate that it was nullified - such a brilliantly simple play. I'm amazed I've never seen anyone else try that...

There were actually multiple holds by the Bears on that play. The refs made the right call.

I don't disagree, but they were away from the play. Over-officiating.

**BigMeatballDave** · 09-26-2011, 11:54 PM

They call shit like this, but Hali gets ****ing raped on a regular basis.

Bump · 10-04-2011, 10:13 PM

that penalty pissed me off, you have to know that was vegas that got that call. Anything with that much money involved is going to corrupt the sport.

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.

I was just reacting to how it impacted the line...how the Vegas money was heavier on the Bears not scoring that TD (which would have changed the points and the O/U)...

PROBABLY a coincidence, but just saying...

and please, explain this...

This was totally inexplicable, and it won Vegas a SHIT ton of money...
