LOL... wow @ the ref's on SNF

[PoPPeR]

Anyone else watching the niners-bears game? Those two replay calls... just wow...

 

[Zim Hosein]

What channel PoPPeR?

 

[waggy]

the first one i agree with. how they say it hit the ground is beyond me.

but the 2nd one they got right. when touched he did not have control of the ball. when he got control of the ball he was not touched.

The refs suck as bad as the 'Niners to this year. For the first time in my life, I am ashamed to be a 'Niners fan. I wish they'd dump Erickson. That guy is a perennial NFL loser. Maybe he can coach college, but he sucks in the pros.

 

[spanky]

yeah, those challenged calls all went chicago's way. feel bad for the niners.

That's what I thought the rule was originally, but the ESPN gamecallers kept saying "there's no way they're gonna fvck this one up too", so I thought I was mistaken on the rule.

anyway it looks like that last call won't matter. SF just can't do a thing right. Dorsey keeps throwing everything at the receivers feet.

 

[PoPPeR]

I never knew Dorsey had such a weak arm either. From the way he's played tonight I have my doubts that he could throw the ball 30 yards downfield. He can barely throw it 10-15 to his recievers

 

[rh71]

watching this too... the 1st bad call made a close game no longer. :|

i think it's partly due to the fact that the bears have been mauling him all night. maybe he's rushing the throws and not getting everything behind it? i dunno.

I don't think the annoucers know what they are talking about half the time. they almost came out and claimed the refs were for Chicago to win. they may not have said it but they sure did hint at it.l

 

[vi edit]

One other thing was that VERY generous spot they gave CHI on that 3rd down to keep the drive alive. That was pretty questionable as well.

they said he is pretty notorious for not having a great arm. I haven't really watched any niners games this year so i can't speak from experience, but even with his feet planted, the ball just floats

 

[waggy]

wee! bears are 2-5! super bowl here we come!

 

[PoPPeR]

the thing i'm really pissed about is how barlow earned my fantasy team a good 1 point today. No rushing yards, a lost fumble, no touchdowns. The niners are embarassing

 

[spanky]

he was the U Miami qb right? i thought he was pretty good in college. oh well... i guess the niner's string of finding stud qb's are over. montana, young, grbac, garcia....

WTF was up with McGuire saying "It's been great spending Thanksgiving with you guys" at the end of the game???

[PoPPeR]

hehe... grbac. I forgot about that guy.
