It doesn’t matter!! Rashied dropping a pass. Desmond Clark dropping an almost certain touchdown. Kyle Orton throwing a pass right at a defender 5 yards away from him. Tillman’s stupid penalty. Olson dropping two fumbles. Horse collar tackles. Forte runs getting called back. None of it matters!! It’s an overall meltdown two games in a row!! If one play had changed in the fourth quarter of last week game, we would have won! If one play had changed in the fourth quarter of the Carolina game, we would have won! Why doesn’t Lovie ever get pissed?! Lovie took us to the Superbowl and I love him for that. I don’t ever question his calls when it comes to the Bears, I wait for it to play out before I make a snap decision, but watching this year start off like the entirety of last year, with us giving football games away in the fourth quarter, and not bearing down and putting people away like we should, I can’t F***ing take it! We are the g**d*** Chicago Bears! Get pissed Lovie! Show your team that they have to play four quarters of good football and not three!! I just want to see some emotion. Like someone on our team gives a s***. Is that too much to ask?

I was wondering the same thing, Roy. While Lloyd was getting pulled down, I stood up screaming “Horse-collar, horse-collar!” at my TV. I couldn’t believe the refs didn’t call it. Unbelievably frustrating.

I was at the bar grabbing the back of my shirt collar and yelling at the TV.

I don’t remember which plays I saw exactly, but I do remember seeing some definite horsecollars in that game from the TB side, and none got called.

Yeah I noticed that too, the Lloyd one at least.
