I am most disappointed in the Bears game.  They gave it their all, but it just wasn't enough.  Between all of the turnovers and the decision to go for it on fourth and goal while only down one point in the fourth quarter, I really thought that they could pull it off. 

I had high hopes this year when they added two unwanted former head coaches (Martz and Tice) to the one they already had (Marinelli). Those three working together with Lovie Smith looked to have the Bears headed to the top of the mountain.  The Lions showed them who was boss though. 

No number one pick overall for you next year.  Maybe the year after that...

Which game were you watching, dude? The bears won 19-14!

only cause the Detroid players like celebrating before making sure that the refs decide he has possession of the ball.

I know a lot of people are complaining about the call, but honestly I don't think there is any need for a rule change. I'm yet to see that rule enforced because someone dropped the ball on accident. Only the fools who throw the ball away lose their touchdown. It's like when DeSean Jackson threw the ball backwards before getting into the endzone. I can make the same claims some people are making about the Detroit call. It looked like a touchdown, felt like a touchdown, but it wasn't called a touchdown. Why? Because the players are so full of themselves they celebrate before making sure they scored in the first place. Reminds me of when Tom Benson was celebrating a win when the Saints missed the field goal for the win (they ended up losing) - http://larrybrownsports.com/youtubeage/saints-owner-tom-benson-celebrates-garrett-hartleys-missed-field-goal/12157

Now mind you, I have no problem with celebrations and actually think the NFL is too strict (no team celebrations, no spiking, no whatever). I mean, if the other team can't take a spiked football and it hurts their pride, they need to grow up. No, not everyone is a winner, and if they are losing then they are losers, tough break, do better next time.

anyways, I'll be updating with the results as soon as I figure out how I want to make the graphic. I have everything in a spreadsheet, but can't figure out how to make it look pretty

Oh, and hatmoza won due to the tie breaker.
