I believe you but I don't remember the play, or the circumstances.

On the Bears' opening drive, the Rams caught two big breaks ... Odunze dropped a TD pass; and, on 4th down, Turner's hit to Williams' head was not called. Either play would have given Chicago seven points.

Personally, I thought it was a reasonably well officiated game, with each team getting a few breaks.

I thought it was officiated well too, somebody laid the wood to Odunze so he may not have caught it anyway.Verse was held on the Kmet TD not sure how they all missed it.

That was Kinchens. Honestly, this is probably one of the best games our secondary has had in a while. All those weapons, and they held them to seventeen with three picks.

PFF grades every position on every play for both teams. Seems like they must have access to multiple camera angles for every game to pull that off. If there are trends in missed penalties, the statistical data should be there if someone wanted to pull a season long PFF-style review of officiating.

Might also be capable of AI analysis soon.

I don't think I agree with this conspiracy theory, but evidence (or lack of it) is out there.
 
Honestly was most frustrated by the clear call that wasn't called: hands to the face on Desjuan Johnson. Johnson literally got poked in the eyes, he stopped playing, and even the Bears offensive lineman stopped playing to check if he was okay.

Like, how the fuck do you miss that?

I'll admit, the refs were far better than I expected them to be, and it's better to let players play instead of making it a flag-fest, but that was as clear as a cloudless summer day, like some of the offsides I saw.

I’d like to see a longer clip of what preceded them getting tangled with each other. Starting with who initiated the pushing part (beyond normal hands play).

You have to put together both tweets I've posted. In the first it shows Kmet with both hands on Durants chest as he goes back into the middle. This second tweet picks it up right there.

I’m with the camp that says there was a minor push off but bottom line is that ball was in the air a long time. DB has to do his job there and bat it down or away.

It was a breakdown defensively. That’s why it was a miracle TD pass.

The refs were in "Hail Mary Mode" on this. They let ANYTHING go and may the strong survive. As soon as Caleb was running backwards from our entire DL, and he heaves it fade away jump shot style, all bets were off.

I have no problem w it other than they actually got the TD. Like Mojo says, that ball was in the air a LONG time. No excuse to let Kmet stand there alone after a gentle push off. Lake should have broken to ball sooner. He could have made it there from the other freaking sideline...

It's a better experience when the refs aren't stopping the game.
On that, I completely agree, I'll take a "let em play" game every time if the alternative is anything like the shit like what we saw the last time curated

Yeah, I think part of these bad calls come from trying to enforce every rule in the rule book. NFL was better when there were less rules. Let the boys play
