Someone at my house is really happy about this win. I hate when she gets like that.

Think of yourself. 
Just back from the bar and this was probably discussed earlier in the thread.
When the bears challenged their missed TD that turned into a touch back, why didn't they lose a time out?
Pity for Fox. Obscure NFL rule that only applies to the Bears.

Because N.F.L. refs are clueless?

Didn’t he technically win the challenge? The original call was overturned.
Maybe they did not lose timeout because the result of the review changed the call.
Need to know what he specifically challenged.
Bet the Bears fans have a lot of sympathy for Fox as well.
Oh yeah. They even offered to sponsor his next trip. A one way ticket out of town.
Fox challenged that his RB touched the pylon with the ball before he was down.
Would have been 1st and goal inside the 1 if he didn’t challenge. Unless Mike challenged the play.
RB wasn’t down but lost the ball before he touched the pylon.
Technically Fox was correct as the original call was overturned. Just not the way he probably intended.
During the broadcast, there was a field mic picking up (what I am assuming was) OL line calls. I heard "Five-Two" a number of times, "Two-Four" a couple of times, and I think it was a "Nine-Seven" one time.
I'm again assuming they were identifying a LB, a DB, and a DL/OLB respectively, but why the different positions? Were they identifying a blitzer or keying on a certain position based on what a particular formation or play call mandated?
I think that call is to identify the likely blitzer to get the whole OL on the same page for their blocking responsibilities.
John Fox: Every indication we had was Benny Cunningham scored

Bears coach John Fox won a challenge he wished he would have lost in Sunday afternoon’s 23-16 loss to the Packers.
Fox challenged that running back Benny Cunningham was not out of bounds at the 2-yard-line with just over eight minutes left in the first half because he thought Cunningham had scored. After consulting with New York, referee Tony Corrente announced that Cunningham had actually lost control of the ball before hitting the pylon and the fumble went out of the end zone to give the Packers the ball on a touchback.
“Looking at the review, he did not step out of bounds and started lunging toward the goal line,” Corrente said via a pool report distributed by the Bears. “As he was lunging toward the goal line, he lost the ball in his right hand first, probably, I’m going to guess, 2 feet maybe short of the pylon. As he got even closer, the left hand came off. We had to put together two different angles in order to see both hands losing the football. After he lost it the second time, it went right into the pylon. Which creates a touchback.”
Fox said after the game that “every indication we had was that he scored” and that Cunningham losing the ball never crossed anyone’s mind.
“Maybe you can see [Cunningham fumble] after looking at it 50 times, like some people are able to do,” Fox said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “But during out look, during the game, that wasn’t even discussed.”
Cunningham was one of those people who could see the fumble as he said after the game that he thought the refs made the correct call and plenty of people would argue that Fox would have been better off taking a first down off the original call than risking a timeout for two yards at that point in the game.
Would like to think that McCarthy would have challenged if the Bears hadnt....but, you know. Bears bad luck trumps reality.
Thank you vets.
And thank you x4. Love the game day threads.

So this one is already over?
Your words not mine. Hundley just isn't an above average back-up. Why do TT and MM think differently?
This is perfect.
Apparently, Hundley had a hamstring injury sometime in the 4th qtr...
Why He Was Running Slow
OK, which one of you did this. By the description, probably Bvan and his cohorts.
Well, that's a first. Was just attacked by a bunch of young punks. Came up behind me, knocked me down and took my phone. So if I send a weird Tweet/text, know it ain't me.

Also, if his account starts tweeting coherent football takes, know that isn't Nagler.

Probably any number of us who are sick of having to see his mug shot on EVERY js related article that is posted about the Packers. First thing you see every damn time you click on a Packer related article is Nagler's face.
Yup, he definitely has that look like he lives in his moms basement

It was the Russians. They are planning to to hack into the executive committee to get them to put pressure on Mark Murphy who is to put pressure on TEd Thompson who is to put pressure on Mike McCarthy to get Capers to quit.
