[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 323048, member: 2232"] LIS, I still have that game on my DVR and have watched it over many times, with the slow-mo, etc. Not only did the refs flag us an all-time record of 18 times, but 2 of them denied us interceptions in the 4th quarter (one by Barnett, the other Collins), and one of them denied us 7 points on the Rodgers to Finley TD. All 3 of those calls were ticky-tacky and often wouldn't be flagged. The Finley TD denied was a holding call on Tauscher against Peppers. There were 50 holds worse than that on both teams that game or any other game. Peppers didn't even whine or ask for a flag on the play. The Barnett Int came when Zombo spun around and his helmet happened to hit Cuntler's chin, coincidentally. They have let Rodgers get hit worse than that many times with no calls. And as I have showed before, Devin Hester's huge punt return touchdown, which was his first for a score in nearly 3 years, was benefited by one BLATANT block in the back and one normal block in the back. We always get flagged for those on our special teams, and on a night the refs were flag-happy on us, they cannot let that go. That touchdown saved the game for the Bears. They took away a touchdown from us on the BS call on Tauscher. This was 10x worse. So yes, James Jones helped give it away, but the refs were clearly the stars of that game. But the Bears are playing better now, except against NE. [url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=300927003]Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears - Recap - September 27, 2010 - ESPN[/url] We had more than 100 yards more than they did, despite the penalties. We had more first downs, were 36-24 in time of possession, and we held their offense under 300 total yards. The 152 yards on penalties called against us, and 60 they let go on the Hester TD were too much to overcome. You can't expect a team to overcome all that BS. DESPITE all those penalties on us, and ignored one on them, we almost won: Urlacher popped the ball out of James Jones' hands after the receiver caught a pass from [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8439"]Aaron Rodgers[/URL] near midfield. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9648"]Tim Jennings[/URL] recovered the ball, giving Chicago the ball on the Packers 46 with 2:18 remaining.
