Game 17: Bears @ Packers - Sunday, Jan 7 3:25 PM

[HarveysWBs]

Good grief, we’re getting no breaks, and not helping ourselves.  Bad combination,

[adambr2]

Seriously, how in the hell? Ball clearly hits the ground and is bobbled before he had anything resembling control. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

They really glossed over that challenge with the commercial break but that ball very clearly bounced off the grass.

And they decided it so quickly. I just don’t get this one.

The ball never touched the ground.

[Vgmastr]

The first replay it looked like the ball hit the ground, but the second angle it didn't.  Bad job by CBS to not show another replay after those two quick ones.

[Strike4]

Time for a nice TD drive to allow me to unpucker

 

[wildcat83]

I honestly don’t know what you guys are seeing on the replay, looked to me like the ball never came close to the ground.  Looked like a clean catch

[yourout]

I'm worried we're about to turn it over again.

[wildcat83]

Punch this in now!!!!!

The first replay they showed clearly showed the ball hit the ground. The second one didn't but it was definitely incomplete.

[young guns]

He has possession with his back on the ground.  That is a td

[yourout]

No catch.

[HarryDoyle]

Oh boy, if this isn't a touchdown I'm going to lose it.

[wildcat83]

Think his feet touched out before he controlled it.

[igor67]

If that Bears catch somehow stands that is definitely a touchdown.

 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

They got that one right. Not a catch. 

[HarveysWBs]

Getting hosed

[CheezWizHed]

I don't ever want to hear the whiners say the refs give the Packer's all the breaks... Crap calls.

[HarryDoyle]

OK, maybe it's not a catch. That's two that have been dropped. 

Boy, they're not making it easy on themselves.

Because the ball never hit the ground on the Bears catch.  The ball started moving again when he rolled out of bounds so incomplete pass by the weird NFL rules on what is or isn’t a catch but is a catch but isn’t a catch.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I didn't see possession established there until after he rolled out.

But anybody saying the first one was a catch has to rewatch. The nose of the ball bounced right off the turf. That's the only reason it ended up in the Bears WR's chest.

It absolutely hit the ground. 

[wildcat83]

It’s a catch if his feet don’t hit out.  I don’t think they ruled it hit the ground, they ruled his feet hit out prior to possession.  Feel like that was correct.

It did not hit the ground please see the 2nd replay where it shows it clearly did not hit the ground.
