WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT CODY PARKEY'S DOUBEDOINK TO SEND THE BEARS HOME ?

[Bretsky]

So what was your reaction ??

[mraynrand]

ecstatic

Evidently the Eagles partially blocked the kick so it wasn't just a miss by Parkey.

It was the Eagles celebrating, so my reaction was mixed. I was hoping for some stadium emergency to clear the field.

Anybody hear the interview with Rex Ryan completely going off on Parkey the kicker ?

I saw clips. Its pretty bog standard coach complaints about the weird, idiot kicker. Very Parcells like.

Mostly I couldn't care less. You can't really say the Bears are down, just experiencing some residual suckage.

As I posted earlier, I actually wanted the Bears to win that game so the Cowboys - my team now that the Packers are out - could play the Saints instead of the Rams, as I see the Rams as the better team of those two.

Bears losing is always good. What I really like is that the missed field goal is causing everybody in Chicago to lose sight of why they really lost the game: Their offense could produce only 1 TD. 1 TD in the NFL is usually not enough. Trubisky might just be mediocre enough to prevent the Bears from becoming dominant.

Yup it is officially a blocked kick.

That pass to Robinson to help set up the 43 yards FG attempt was a Rocket pass.

He makes our Backups look sick.

Rex Ryan needs glasses.

Threatening their own kicker was a nice touch too

Good point, and glad to see that at least one poster has priorities straight. Rand too, I suppose. PB, who should know better, allows himself to get distracted by irrelevant details. When it comes the Bears losing it doesn't matter who did it or what the implications are (Cowboys-Saints?!?!): we see it and we see that it is very good.

I am a late arrival to the Bears rivalry. I lived through the torture of seeing the Steel Curtain up front with the Browns. 17 losses in a row at Three Rivers Sanatarium. The Super Bowl Shuffle Bears were a distraction for me.

First game after the SB, Bears played Browns in Chicago. First year of replay I think. On a kickoff, there was scrum and kickoff rolled either OOB or into endzone. Neither ref on scene made a call.

Had to go to booth to figure out what to do. They changed that the next week: on field has to make the call first.

The only part of Bears fandom that bugs me to the core are the subset of my own age group that thinks Doug Plank was the greatest safety of all time. Mostly he seemed a dirty player.
