At this point I'm fairly certain anyone on this board can do what Mariani is doing on punt returns. Or better.

LMAO, after pushing them back into their own red zone, they punt, and we start back further than we ended the last series.

The only thing this defense should be practicing for the rest of the year is how to properly defend a pass in the air. Just horrendous technique and execution every time there is a long pass. I'm not sure I can remember many batted passes this year by any of our DB's. All that safety had to do is bat the freakin ball away from Johnson instead of going for an INT.

How did they miss that 5 ft from Stafford on a roll out? Unbelievable, I am sick to my stomach.

 

I looked at that play over and over, through the eyes of a fan and the eyes of an official. Typically, when the defender is progressing towards the runner without obstruction, the foul won't be called. So when the contact and grasp was made, the Bears defender was actually closer to the QB than the blocker was. This is obviously not the normal situation, because the blocker is usually between the runner and the defender. Anyway, in this situation, all the flailing of arms doesn't matter much; the official is looking for a jersey stretch or something similar. That's the only thing I can put out there for this no-call. It certainly looked like the defender was hindered while running towards Stafford, but I'm guessing they didn't see enough restriction since the Bears' player was moving towards Stafford.

Based on how the game was called, I can see how it was not called; but once he leaves the pocket, you can clearly see Young's movement being restricted.
