5:54 Left in 1st Quarter

[Double V]

There was a play where the QB faked a couple of pitches/reverse and then threw a little screen to the RB. The D-Line blew it up and I looked like the ball bounced off the Baylor RBs crotch and into the hands of our DE. They called it an incomplete pass and said it hit the ground. Bears QUICKLY ran another play and we never got a good replay on the broadcast. They show anything definitive in the stadium?

I was wondering about that too. Announcers said a couple times it hit the ground as if there was no doubt about it but I never saw it hit the ground myself. It certainly could have but I didn't see it and was annoyed that it never got reviewed.

It bounced off the ground clearly on replay

 

[TopFrog]

Yes it hit the ground.

I would request that you go back and go through the replay frame by frame. It is an optical illusion. Off the Baylor TE’s face mask as he is falling back. As the ball approaches the ground, watch for the shadow on his left thigh, the Baylor player’s left arm swipes by the ball, basically pushing into his crotch. Watch how the ball rapidly spins when the left arm hits it.

It did? We must have been watching two different broadcasts. I saw it bounch off the RB a few times, but never saw it hit the ground.

I think people are confused by the turf green jerseys...

 

[Paul in uhh]

Not willing to die on this hill but from my POV on tv it looked like it never hit the ground. It was resting/bouncing off of the baylor player.

 

[Creeperfrog]

Too close. It wouldn't have been overturned. I'm a frog, but I have no idea ab that play

I thought the same thing… also that Williams’s catch on the final drive was a first down as he rolled over the baylor player across the line to gain. Two missed calls to go along with the clearly uncatchable PI call against Baylor…. Which doesn’t by the way begin to make up for the stolen game in 2014.

I can understand the bad spot on Savion's catch, but the replay booth was asleep on that play. It should have been reviewed.

The review booth was asleep all day, they stopped the game 0 times. The Savion play cost us 10-15 seconds.

I wouldn’t go back and change a thing

Yes. 100%

I was livid. I don’t know how they didn’t review that. Looked to me like it didn’t hit the ground and I was hoping they would review it and there would be another angle confirming it didn’t.

Only thing that kept me from getting too upset was the way Horton (I think) jumped on it. Wasn't a clear scoop with the hands so much as jumping on it like a fumble.

The Baylor guy was fighting for the ball like he knew it had not hit the ground.
