Did anyone else think that the Bears got robbed?

[mark414]

I mean shit...he had possession...both feet down in the end zone, so...touchdown right?

Am I the only one who thinks they got bent over on that play?

On edit: I am a diehard Packers fan so I am definitely not a Bears OR Lions sympathizer...but that touchdown was stolen!

1. Vikes fan here - yes, you were robbed.

I really don't see how that was NOT a touchdown.

2. GB and Browns fan here, I didn't see it, though

[mark414]

4. well i'm a packers fan

but it did cost the bears the game, yes

here's an article about it:

Upon review, Smith and Bears still convinced it was a TD

By NANCY ARMOUR, AP National Writer
December 27, 2004
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -- No matter how many times Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith watches the replay -- and he's watched it a lot -- he's still convinced Bernard Berrian had a touchdown.

Officials wiped out Berrian's 43-yard, game-tying TD reception with 1:26 left Sunday, calling it an incomplete pass even though replays showed it was a good catch. The Bears went on to lose 19-13 to the Detroit Lions, their fifth loss in six games.

``I saw, and with my great vision that I have, two feet in with possession as he went down,'' Smith said Monday. ``That's what I think I saw. That's what I think a lot of Bears fans saw. I still say the same thing.''

3. Lions fan here

And yes you got robbed. That looked like a touchdown from where I was sitting. It was an ugly win.

11. Hey, the Lions got robbed most of all

that bad call cost the Lions about 4 positions in the draft.

5. We were robbed. Didn't they say the ball came out when he hit

the ground. He had possession and I thought the ground couldn't cause a fumble.

[mark414]

6. yeah

and he landed out of bounds anyways

i think the official call was that the ball moved when he hit the ground, so it was an incomplete pass...but if he had already had both feet down in the end zone with possession then that shouldn't even have been a question...

as a packers fans you guys got robbed HARD

[Kota]

7. I think he had both feet in though.

[mark414]

8. yes

got his left foot down which then came up and got his right foot down, then rolled out of bounds

[GoBlue]

9. Sorta Lions fan (they've sucked so long)

You were definitely robbed.

[fob]

10. Lions fan, didn't see it, but the descriptions were enough to say

that yes, the Bears were robbed. The Lions should have insisted the TD count and worked for the win(assuming the PAT would have been good), since there was time to drive for a filed goal.
