    Chicago Bears Where were the zebras during the game?

    Not to sound like a homer,but the referees didn't call squat.(except on the Bears).
    I can't count the times there was way too much defensive contact after 5 yards.
    Let alone some plain old pass interference.
    I also saw a lot of late hits,on Forte and the QBs.
    I'm all for letting them play,but that was a bit much.
    When the refereeing,or lack of impacts a close game,I have a real issue with it.
    Did the Bears blow a lot of chances? without a doubt.
    Non-calls did affect the outcome,which I am not ok with,regardless of how badly they played.
    On another note,freaking cris collingsworth can stay out of chicago,flipping Bears hater.

    I agree that they were bad.

    Wouldn't have changed the outcome, still would have lost. On the other side, I'm with you on this. They missed some PIs

    The one call that could have chaged the game was the call when got hurt. As far as I could tell he wasn't over the line and should have gotten 15 yards added on to the play. Doesn't mean we would have scored.

    Nah, part of his foot was behind the line of scrimmage. Though, I can not fault the refs for this missed call. On their replays they did not have the benefit of the colored line like we did. Without the colored line, it was too close to over turn.

    But after this game they should, regardless if we won or lost ofcause we remember it more now that we lost but I think they should implant this in the NFL, it would be so much easier for the refs to make the right call.

    I'm with you guys having a great team but I'm not really buying this one. The reason you lost wasn't the refs. The refs blow call every game, and this wasn't some missed Golden Tate "inter-reception" blown call or anything like that. The refs didn't create 4 turnovers and constant 3 and outs either.

    That line that we see is unofficial anyways, so it could be that the red line was off and he really WAS fully over the "line" either way it was too close to call and even if that call hadn't been made there's too much "what if" we could have gotten a fumble recovery right after that play for all we know.

    It was a great game but the Texans did beat you, not the refs.

    and the colored line can be wrong, don't forget that. If they do this, they need to have some kind of laser between the two markers that create the line so that it 100% accurate.

    Agree, maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters. Leaving the game in the ref's hands means you're not taking care of business. The refs didn't turn the ball over 4 times, either.

    Refs were bad all around,

    The Bronco's punt return for a tD was actually a fumble out of bounds in the endzone, he let go of the ball at the 1, it fell into the endzone and bounced out of bounds. The replay guy didn't even catch it.

    The SF/StL game during the 2nd qtr let the clock run for over a minute while they placed the ball.
