I was out and about this afternoon, and decided just to drop by and watch a little bit of "America's Game of the Week" *chortle* "Win and In" (complete with FOX logo), Bears vs. Packers.
And, though there were several borderline calls in the 4th quarter, all of them seemed to be correct at first glance...
Except for one...
4th and about the on-field width of the unofficial stripe the TV people use to aid fans in seeing where the first down is. (Ball was on the offensive side of the stripe, needed to get to the defensive side after a measurement on 3rd down.)
And then this happens...
I knew I saw it that way in real time.
So did #26 for the Bears, who was running to the side judge with a closed fist in the air (denoting "zero").
No call.
Why?
Look who was quarterbacking the Packers...
I said this in my preview: The Bears do not have enough marketable players to get the rub when the rub is needed.
Hence, Packers 33, Bears 28 -- Packers host the Niners next week.
