Yeah, McCarthy does not have a good challenge record, and he knows it. But, you never know. I wanted him to challenge it, but could see why he did not. The play was that close. He didn't have anything to lose though, and I do believe he should have given it a go. Would have changed the game completely, had the play been overturned.

We played to not lose. Well said.

The officiating in this game sucked donkey dong.

IronMan;261651The non challenge on the Quarless catch still bugs me. It wasn't a slam dunk, but definitely worth a shot.

Exactly what I said.
In a close game you have to challenge that.
It could be the difference maker or it could blow a close game wide open.
The worst that happens you lose a TO.
McCarthy doesn't seem to like to use them when it matters anyway.

Although I must admit when we downed the punt at the 1 I thought maybe it was a good idea after all.

Great shot, even a second later when he just kind of turned and looked as if to say "where the hell is everybody"

Yeah, I saw several holds that the Packers got away with.

Packers have 7 days to prepare for the Bears.

I know I'm a little late, and there's plenty more important things to talk about, but I was bored and wanted to add my own meaningless info as I read through the topic ...

Now that is one hole that I think I can honestly say even I could have run through.
Not likely that I would have gotten a TD (I can barely see that far much less run) but I think I could have gotten a first down at least.
