Oso planning to go pro
To be fair, if you said: - AP wouldn't play after week 2- Bridgewater starts 10+ gamesI think 7-9 is relatively successful. Teddy B. looks decent so far.
Fair points. Bridgewater will certainly be better than their last 1st round quarterback pick (at least Ponder's wife is nice to look at, though), but he's not someone who scares me very much, at least not yet.
Referee Tom Dooley then spoke eight words that will go down in Packers-Bears lore: "After further review, we have a reversal: Touchdown!"
November 5th was the 25th anniversary of the Instant Replay Bears-GB game http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/instant-replay-game-sealed-memorable-win-b99383902z1-281520041.html
And still wrong after all these years.The oddest part about one of the most memorable Bears-Packers games in history is that it was a truly awful game with one controversial play at the end. If the officials had stuck with the correct call on the field, it would have been barely a footnote. Funny how we remember these "great" games that were anything but.
if you watch the replay and still think that they got the call wrong I want some of what you're smokinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBXkQQofC90http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ-nB53aJN0http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/Instant-replay-game/d47b3c09-9c97-4c61-9379-dfb6afa6646e
But I think they changed the rule after (or even because) of that game. I believe the rule used to be that the ball could not be in the quarterback's hand once it broke the plane of the LOS.
The rule used to be that the ball could not cross the LOS before being thrown. After 1989, they changed it to be the passer's feet and later to both feet and the ball, I believe.
I *think* the rule is now if any part of the qb is behind the line, it's a legal play

Unfortunately, I can't imagine the Bears stay within a point of GB this Sunday night...but at least Lance Briggs has all but he admitted that he's checked out. So the Bears got that goin' for 'em.
Same old Lions on so many levels.
..and yet, somehow, they keep finding ways. I see two fundamental differences this year. 1. The wide 9 defensive line alignment stunk. The more traditional defensive line formation this year is working much better. 2. They believe they are going to find ways to win games, not lose them. Having seen so much bad football for so long, I probably am not going to believe in this team until they win a playoff game.
Who is this grotesque dog "singing" the NFL intro? Ick.
