    Texans caught a break on the spot and the challenge technicality.

    Initially... but by game time, I think the line had shifted far enough.... all those Bears fans betting big-time, I guess.

    Perfect time for the jump ball again... they should at least attempt it.

    Anderson (and the Texan receivers) has to do a way better job going to the end zone (and earlier, to the first down marker).

    Kubiak simply has a brain freeze when the ball is inside the 10... he has no idea what this team should or can do down there... and each time, its a new adventure.

    Can we get Slaton some serious Rookie of the Year consideration? He is amazing.

    Crap.

    Nevermind, I think that was not a fumble. We should win the challenge.

    Woops.

    Bears deserve to lose this game for score board watching. I think it's one thing to secretly watch the score, but to effin inform the sideline reporter they're using blackberries and iphones an asking her for the score is ridiculous.

    Kubiak may actually win a challenge...

    Where amazing happens!

    (btw, the pbp announcer isn't really hiding his Chicago homerism well)

    Hah, they may say it was a fumble just because it was a Kubiak challenge.

    He was down. I don't know how the challenge will come out, but he was down.

    The broadcasters for every Texans game make me laugh. A not-so-obvious holding is obvious to them. A an obvious down by contact is a matter of "microseconds" between Slaton falling down and the ball coming out.

    And when Manning picked up "fumbled" ball, it's almost as if the commentator had an orgasm.

    I think the announcer just accused one of the Texans of flopping.

    Can he hide his bias just a little better?

    The pbp guy may as well be Richard Daley. What a Chicago homer.

    I am more convinced that the commentator is either a Texans hater or a Bears fan.

    He said the Texans player "flopped like Kobe Bryant" on the holding call against the Bears

    Its been Bears all game long with the announcers, save the usual Andre Johnson is the best WR in the NFL love.

    How many extra yards do you think Slaton has gotten this year just by not giving up at the end of a run? I'd say at least 100 yards.

    "Bears looking for some late goal-line magic..."

    Huh? Who the hell EVER says that when the opposing teams defense is about to get scored on... even if its a home team announcer on the radio.

    And Slaton waltzes in, and you get the customary "TD... season could be over for the Bears..." (not the orgasm that just happened when he thought Slaton had fumbled).
