    Touch Down Bears?

    I know we won and all, and I'm very happy about that, but I'm wondering if it should have been in regulation?

    :28 sec's left in the 2nd qt...Terrell catches the ball alright, but the ball never went over the goal line, he only had one foot in, and he even fell towards the 1 yd line. Is that really considered a touch down???

    Yeah that TD was definitly questionable. The Bills have been getting crappy calls all season. At least it turned out well.

        Did you notice that the Bears fans haven't responded to this?

          I was waiting for the review on that one. The pass interfence in the 4th quarter was also a bad call. It was a penalty, but the ball was uncatchable.

            Am I wrong, or was that reception overturned?
            Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!

            Then let's go to Disneyworld!

            GO BILLS!!!

              They overturned his catch out of bounds

                Notice how Fox never showed a goal line shot of that play.

                  Actually, they did. That's when I was doubly sure it was no good!

                    They normally have a camera right on the goal line. I never saw that shot.

                    Notice how Fox didn't show replays on any close play that favored Chicago until it was too late to challenge.

                        I watched the game again, and you're right EE, it was a shot from the endzone, and it was very clear that the one foot was in and he was definetly leaning twds the 1 yd line, so much so that his other foot came back out too before the tackle.

                        Funny how Denver made the same exact catch last night and they marked the ball one the 1.

                          doesn't matter where his feet were. All that has to happen is that the tip of the ball break the plain of the goal line (imagine a sheet of glass on the front end of the goal line--touch the glass score a TD). Check the replay again and find out where the ball was...did it ever crack the goal line?

                            Eb, they never showed the shot straight down the goal line where you could tell.
