"After Further Review"...with AZCardsWin

[AZCardsWin]

We have discussed every tidbit from the Monday Night game but am I the only one who feels two major referee blunders assisted the Bears in winning:

1. I have watched the Edge fumble numerous times and if that wasn't a classic case of forward momentum being stopped then I don't know what is. I mean he was standing and hadn't moved an inch for almost 5 seconds when the ball was finally stripped out. Disgraceful.

2. On JJ Arrington's kickoff return celebration he spiked the ball down (with no Bears around him) and as he was jogging away from the field he was talking a trash in the Bears direction but there was no Bear anywhere near him. Why the horrible 15 yd penalty call?? I can see if he spiked the ball at the foot of a Bear and followed that with some fingerpointing in the face of the Bear, etc. Unreal.

It seems week in and week out there are "gray area" calls that always work against the Cardinals . I let some of you rule book gurus give me your input on this matter.

Go Cards/ America!

On Edge, big deal, bad calls happen. It shouldn't have come down to that.

What Arrington did was stupid. Why spike it when you didn't even reach the 40 yard line? And after he also got in the face of, I think, Urlacher. That was the right call.

Urlacher was on the Bears kickoff team??

It's time to move on. That game did not come down to the refs. It came down to our own play calling. No one to blame but the coaching staff. Yeah, you could say it was the o-line's fault, but how many times do we need to get stopped for no gain before we try something else, like what we did early in the game. Hopefully, we will see different things starting this Sunday.

He could've been coming on the field because the defense has to set up after a kickoff. Maybe it was just some other big white guy...

And not scoring TDs on those turnovers.

Why spike it when you didn't even reach the 40 yard line?

That poor kid was just excited he made it past the 20 and was still able to walk. lol - I honestly don't think JJ likes playing in the NFL. Too scary...all those big men trying to tackle and sh*t.

If you want to fix what happened then take it out on the raiders.
