You are allowed to spin the football on the field of play by rule.  You can't spike the ball.  That is a case of refs waaaaay overstepping the rule

That is actually a ridiculous flag, he wasn't even looking at another player to even be considered taunting.

Bears special teams kinda ruined a game that might have killed Lions emotionally for season and made game in 2 weeks kinda easy.

Now Lions think they can play with Bears. 

Also say officiating in 2nd was garbage.  They didnt call like 3 blatant holdings that would have been sacks.

Call on Lynch was garbage. Call on Miller was garbage.  Others too I can't remember.

I kinda doubt it. They were battered around pretty good. And if they don't realize how fluky the final score was, they will when they study film. Also, I doubt the Bears offense goes about its business in the same manner on Thanksgiving.

Both of those calls were garbage--the one on Miller was especially egregious. I also had an issue with that illegal formation near the goal line in the first half, and highly doubt Nagy was late with the challenge flag. The refs don't screw that challenge up and the whole game changes...

Good game today.  Can Pat O'Donnell do field goals and PATs?  Parkey was garbage today.  Our special teams had another mess up not recovering the onside kick.  Mitch has been great.  Getting Robinson and Mack back was big.  Our D was solid with 6 sacks and 3 or 4 takeaways.  We should beat Minnesota next Sunday night.

Agree, but the Vikings have finally woken up. So, no gimme there. And as good as the Vikings' defense is, I can't see them doing a whole lot to stop Trubisky and co. Shaheen will bring another dimension, and I look for more improvement in the running game (today's gameplan didn't do a lot to help out the run).

Could be lip service but Nagy said Parkey still has a job. Usually I would be all for trusting the staff but I'm not sure how you don't start to look for other options after today. Too many games are decided by a FG or two and come Dec/Jan when it starts to snow, can he really be counted on when he is constantly missing in good/decent weather? I don't think so.
