There was one play where he made a couple jukes and out ran a linebacker for about 15 yards. It was kinda shocking.

With some of the crazy NBA uniforms, I'm scared about what they've come up with for the brewers.

The secondary hasn't been the same since savage has been out. Hopefully he returns soon and help right the ship. [sarcasm]Great start for the bears today.[/sarcasm]

Lots of slipping going on today.

Somethings gotta give on these PIs soon. Either coaches need to stop challenging or the league will need to over turn the ones that need over turning, not saying this one needed over turning though. My money is on the coaches blinking first.

So? What else are going to do? Should our goal be to lose to ohio st, win the rest and then lose to ohio st or Penn st again because that's more realistic? I dont know about you but reality doesnt play too much into my sports goals. I mean you can set whatever goals you wan, but I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. No, of course you don't go into a game with the goal of losing it. Obviously the goal for the Milwaukee Bucks going into every game is to win the game, but that doesn't mean one of their ultimate goals is "win every game this season." The UW men's basketball team might have an ultimate goal of winning the NCAA championship this year, but that's obviously not realistic. I usually feel better the day after a game and have more perspective, but in this case, I don't see it. To me, we were exposed as frauds yesterday and don't deserve to be in the playoff conversation at all. We're no more playoff contenders than Baylor and SMU and Minnesota. It's not simply losing that game but how it was done. I understand, as others have pointed out, that flukey things happen, like Georgia and South Carolina. But being up 13 points, with 19 minutes left in the game, down at the 21 yard line of the lowly Illini, and finding ways, over, and over again of somehow letting a team without a single conference win to not only win but rally from a big deficit is just unfathomable. No real CFP contender is losing that game against that team yesterday from 4:44 in the 3rd yesterday in 10,000 scenarios. It's unimaginable. Yet, we found a way. It's no exaggeration to say it's the worst Badger loss I've seen in my lifetime. Because you seem to be refuting that it is possible they can still end up in the playoff by saying it's an unrealistic goal. I get that a lot of things they did yesterday are things bad teams do. And I'm not saying, nor anyone for that matter, that this team is going to run the table looking like the team that played Michigan, but it could happen. And that's what we are trying to say while at the same time saying it's not really likely to happen.

So? What else are going to do? Should our goal be to lose to ohio st, win the rest and then lose to ohio st or Penn st again because that's more realistic? I dont know about you but reality doesnt play too much into my sports goals.

I dont accept that at all. We can make things better AND faster(well maybe not the nfl, but at least someone competent can).

Heres a tweet from that SI article that talks about it. Obviously I haven't personally looked into it, but I'm reasonably confident this person has.

I'm pumped! Cant wait for real games to start.

It's more than just that though. The drag on the ball has dramatically increased. Less drag is what is believed to have caused the juiced balls in the first place.

Kinda sucks getting another team off their bye.

They made a short with that speech on it... the best part was the random replies from today making fun of it now that they got swept.

[sarcasm]Regardless of which side everyone falls on, I'm sure we will all appreciate next year when there are no controversies because illegal hands to the face is a reviewable penalty.[/sarcasm]

Found it. I know on the second one flowers had his hand grabbing the collar of bahks jersey and his knuckles were under the facemask and bahks head was pushed back for a long time. Hard to fault them for that penalty since it seems exactly as described as a foul. I haven't found a good look at the first one to see if its similar and ran out of time to look.

Did they say anything about the hands to the face calls? Also agreed on the college replay and overtime rules, but I think their targeting leaves a little bit to be desired. Just in that they are too eject happy sometimes.

The first replay after the touchdown shows the defender basically laying on lazards back. Do I think he was down, yes. Do I think it matters, not really. I will say it's more likely the booth just didn't think there was evidence that he was touched while outside the end zone than that they missed it altogether.

Obviously they couldn't have picked him up since he would be down by contact, but yeah "tackling" him into the end zone would have been a good strategy before he realized what they were doing. Seems to be the next move in that chess match.

I'm going to call it even for fail mary. I guess I'm more generous than peavy.

And again he swiped and hit bahk in the face mask, but don't know if that's what they called.

Bahk really selling it.

Throw or run. Big decision.

Staying in bounds. Nice!

Im all for a replay of the end of the first half.

We found someone who can catch. Lazard playing himself into some more playing time.
