Bears trailing 14-0,driving down to GB 30. Chester Taylor called for holding that was not visible on replay. Nobody makes a big deal of this PHANTOM CALL but I think it ultimately cost the Bears the game:


11:08 2nd Chi 1st & 10 at Chi34 Jay Cutler pass to the left to Johnny Knox to GB42 for 24 yards
10:38 2nd Chi 1st & 10 at GB42 Jay Cutler incomplete pass to the right intended for Devin Hester
10:33 2nd Chi 2nd & 10 at GB42 Jay Cutler pass to the right to Chester Taylor to GB30 for 12 yards
9:50 2nd Chi 1st & 10 at GB30 Jay Cutler incomplete pass to the right intended for Devin Hester
9:44 2nd Chi 2nd & 10 at GB30 Chicago Bears timeout.
9:44 2nd Chi -- Chi-Chester Taylor PENALIZED -11 yards for Holding
9:17 2nd Chi 2nd & 21 at GB41 Jay Cutler Off Left End to GB32 for 9 yards
8:31 2nd Chi 3rd & 12 at GB32 Jay Cutler Off Right End to GB31 for 1 yard

Wasn't a fan of the intentional grounding either. Thought I might be a meatball for thinking that, but Jim Miller agreed... so I feel good about it.

Honorable mention goes to "7:48 2nd Chi 4th & 11 at GB31 Brad Maynard punts 31 yards to GB0, TOUCHBACK"

Seriously, it was a rather ominous sign that on two of our early possessions we elected to punt from the 34 and 31 yard lines.

It wasn't listed,but I think it was a big gain for the Bears that got called back on that "hold".

Both Buck and Aikman really couldn't understand the grounding call either.

Collins at #2 and the reverse to Bennet were awful.

I thought the officiating was pretty bad all game long.

Not saying that this was the reason the Bears lost.

I thought on the Cutler interception, the ball moved when the ball touched the ground. Not only that, but even if that was an interception, he should have been down at the place he intercepted the ball.

Then the officials rule an interception later in the game when it was an obvious drop, forcing the Bears to use a challenge.

THe P.I on Jennings was dubious, the Packer seemed to initiate contact and on the intentional grounding, looked like their was illegal contact downfield against Olsen that wasn't called.

This game was not lost on the officiating.

Nope, it was just won by the better team, plain and simple. Lovie still sucks, though.
