One thing that has bugged me about today...

Ok, I'm not TOTALLY sure about the fair catch rule in the NFL, but I know how it is called in high school and it is pretty much the same in college. If the return man calls for a fair catch, you can't touch him at all. Period.

Now, when Munnerlyn called for the fair catch and the Bear defender came down and wrapped him up as soon as he secured the ball, that HAS to be fair catch interference. Why was it not called? What if Munnerlyn loses control of the ball because of that? Is it just a muffed catch at that point, even though he called for the fair catch and contact was made that caused him to drop it? Again, if I'm wrong on this, somebody explain it to me so I understand. But it just doesn't make sense to me.

No, just one thing that I just didn't get. I get that we're inexperienced at QB and WR, we have idiots on the OL, and our coaching is comparable to what Helen Keller could do.

If he had fumbled, it might have been called. Otherwise, it's the same as a guy patting another guy on the helmet after a play and the referee calling it a late hit.
