Perhaps you need to... reverse... his polarity? Hack? Do some hacking?

So basically this dude is the sole reason Cutler's INT rate isn't way higher

Two of those throws were from Josh McCown. Only the Browns catch was a throw from Cutler.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that might very well be the intent, I just think it's stupid.

The game is supposed to at least kind of make sense to the viewer, but almost any fan watching a game where his/her team gets screwed by a savvy return guy is gonna be scratching their head, throwing poo poo at the TV, or raising their hands in the air bitching about the rules.

Mike Pereira is cool and everything, but if he's REQUIRED to come on screen to explain some archaic poo poo so the fans can digest what just happened... It's because the rule is a pile of garbage.

Devin Hester did this a few times while he was with the Bears, and all the announcers did was say "And with the kickoff being out of bounds, the Bears will get it at the 40". Mike Pereira never showed up, because it's not an obscure or difficult rule.

Now, what was confusing and obscure rule last year was Eric Weems doing trying to recover a punt in the end zone during the Bears and Vikings game. The Vikings touched a punt within the five yard line but did not actually down the ball, so Weems knocked it out of the Endzone for a touchback when it looked like he was being an idiot and going to cause the Bears to lose a possession, but it was a smart veteran play because he knew the rule. Mike Pereira was unable to show up that day, but that was due to technical issues from Fox that Thom Brennemann kept apologizing for.

This play got called back due to a holding penalty, but Aaron Rodgers continues to not be human: http://gfycat.com/WastefulGeneralCrossbill

A great play by Rodgers, and the only time that the Bears defense got close to him all day, and he still scored a touchdown on them (if there wasn't holding).
