Colostomy Bag: Jan 11, 2016; C-Bangin' it

I liked how I asked about 5 minutes ago how this game is going I'm met with an official recovering an incomplete fumble.

What a sport.

I can't claim to know the entire rule book but it sure seems like the refs got this one wrong; why wouldn't Chicago get the ball back where the fumble occurred?

It was ruled incomplete on the field and they upheld that (incorrect) ruling

So if someone picked it up, it would have been a complete pass, but since nobody picked it up, it becomes incomplete. Nonsense.

Yea that's not right. I would like to see the NFL come out tomorrow and say "Whoops - the refs had never encountered this situation previously and they got it wrong. It's not their fault, per se, but sorry, Chicago."

Imo unclear recovery really should be a "do the play over" situation

it wasn't ruled an unclear recovery, it was ruled an incomplete pass. they got to replay the down for literally no reason.

I think a lot of NFL teams around the league should look at signing that official, he has good ball handling skills and there's not much tape on him for teams to study

Because nobody recovered the fumble and the ball stayed in bounds. Literally a coinflip makes more sense then giving it back to the offense.

I can't believe the Bears are in the lead at half. Bears need to come out and score a TD, make it 13/14-3.

Asproigerosis: Mar 13, 2013; insufferable

Refs can make up rules whenever they want. Though the fairest thing would have been to replay the down. The correct call should have been catch and fumble, no recovery ball reward to last possessing team da bears. Hella mad at eagles players just strutting around instead of picking up a football.
