Good news for Lovie Smith. He should be able to collect a couple mill just for flying around the country "interviewing" next year, per the Rooney Rule.

Ok, can someone explain to me why that was not a forward pass? I'm not butthurt over it, as I am a non-partisan fairweathered football fan (Most of the family are Bears fans, fiance and her family are even bigger Packer fans), but it sure looked like the Bears got the short end of the stick on that one (although they should have picked up the damn fumble!).

Because his hand was hit and the ball started coming out before his hand started moving forward.

Yeah in the slow-mo shot it almost looked like the guy hitting his hand started the ball forward and when he threw his arm forward he was just grabbing air.

Because not Tom Brady in a game that boots the Steelers from the playoffs?

The best part of that, Lance Briggs had the football and dropped it. The Packers got really lucky again. They outplayed the Bears in the first half except for the 2 terrible INTs that Rodgers threw, but the Bears (especially Cutler) put it together in the second half and made me worried. But once again any team playing the Bears could count on poor tackling.

Now, just to see how bad the Pack lose to the 49ers.
