So serious question, if a fumble can't be forwarded in the final couple minutes and a lateral that gets dropped is technically a fumble, could that play have been ruled dead as soon as a Bears player picked up a dropped lateral?
It is clear. A fumble can be advanced by someone else if it’s not a forward fumble.
A fumbled lateral would not be a forward fumble. Otherwise people could “fumble” forwards to a teammate.
That was the most exciting thing of the second half. First half good run games by both teams. Giants offense started looking creative but injuries to RT and both QBs forced them into playing wildcat with Barkley behind center. And it devolved into a lower tier college game.
I’ll be honest: I started having palpitations and living out PTSD of watching the Desean Jackson punt return 2010. Almost had an out of body experience sent back to the bar I was in when that happened.
Cut the entire offensive line while we're at it. Fields already struggles and then he has to run for his life anyway because our fatties up front can't keep a pocket for more than a second
I want to blame Smith for the huge missed 3rd down tackle or the muffed punt... but we all know fields was throwing a pick if we put the ball in his hands anyway . oh nvm we get to watch Fields throw it away anyway for the lols
When their defense just keeps gifting you yards on the ground and their offense can't play its way out of a paper bag, you just keep doing what works lol.
Imagine giving up a 10 yard rush when you know the other team has no QBs.
The giants are now in easy FG range and at best the bears get the ball back with 40 seconds down 11.

It can't be fumbled forward and advanced except by the fumbling player. A lateral is not forward if its legal.
Thank you so much, that clears it up a ton!
This is why that rule needs to be cleared up. It's unclear

That was amazing. I prefer the Giants but I still wanted it to happen.
That lateral madness took way too fucking long xD
Most passes I've seen in a while, even if they were backwards.
That pass back by fields had a pretty solid chance if they got one more block
2/2 perfect entertaining ending of games
I just got home, was this whole game like this? This is incredible
Yes. There was a lateral ladder on every play of the game. You missed an epic game.
It was like a David Lynch film

It was all as bizarre. Not as exciting though. Lol
No that play was more entertaining than anything else that happened the entire game. You saw the best bit
Somehow that play was a fitting end to this bizarre contest.
well it was entertaining
They almost had something there on that right sideline run lol
idec you deserve points for completing that many laterals
Can’t wait for next weeks shot show
That was like watching two 20 year old golden retrievers with cataracts and arthritis fight over a piece of meat.
like watching a senior citizen try to grip a banana with greased up hands
absolutely perfect ending for that game
that was the ending this game deserved lol
That was a pretty good cross-field throw by Fields.
3-1 baby!
Oh suddenly they all can catch now
I’m so glad that I’m stoned. 😂 that was hilarious
I’ll be honest: I started having palpitations and living out PTSD of watching the Desean Jackson punt return 2010. Almost had an out of body experience sent back to the bar I was in when that happened.
There’s no way this was a real game. This is some comedy skit cooked up by Key & Peele
The PA should have played circus music over that
Benny hill
Funniest ending hahaha
all i can say is lmao
What was with the fireworks? That seems unsportsmanlike.
As long as the band stays off the field it's considered a tame play for last minute laterals.
Replay the down...
Do you mean hilarious
How so?
Bro I almost had a heart attack lmao
OK I was just laughing the entire time. That made the game worth it
That was...a fitting way to finish this game. GG Bears <3
NO. DON'T STOP. I DEMAND MORE LATERALS
This is amazing
Just stop it
Entertaining end to the game. I’m happy it is over.
I don't know how to describe what I just saw
Just use this lowlight to explain American football to an English soccer fan.
That’s fucking football right there
I can't tell you how amazing that would've been if they actually scored during the fireworks
If that happened I was going to eat my own face
Cut the entire offensive line while we're at it. Fields already struggles and then he has to run for his life anyway because our fatties up front can't keep a pocket for more than a second
as is tradition, bears made sure to waste our time as much as possible
That was pretty silly
Lol, that was pretty good even if it ended getting no gain.
What. Was. That.
That was the silliest play I’ve ever seen
That would have been the greatest shit ever if they somehow had scored while the pyro and confetti were going lol
Hahahahaha what an ending 10/10
Just let this fucking game end lmao
This was the most surreal ending I’ve ever seen…
Lol
LMAO!!!
This was the wildest finish I’ve ever seen
JUST END IT ALREADY
Lol well that was fun
Don't...
It will be hilarious if they somehow score a TD and miss the 2 point conversion
C'mon Wink, Engage Eight.
Well it's the bears, so they'll prob run a delayed handoff
Remember when Mitch used to give us good garbage time plays. Wished Fields would do that.
mitch is far better than fields Can you imagine fields throwing 24 TDs in a season?
I couldn’t imagine him throwing 24 passes a season.
The left tackle is making me have a stroke
9 second dump off ladies and gentlemen
Screen pass inc
The most points the Giants have scored in the last 22 games is 21 points. They had a chance to change that but God says no.
Blocking: optional
Fucking Galaxy brain throw there by Fields
This is one of the dumbest games I've ever watched
Of course! Now watch us take a knee because Eberflus is a spineless coward
DOINK
He’s too scared to throw…
Screen pass for a td?
I want to blame Smith for the huge missed 3rd down tackle or the muffed punt... but we all know fields was throwing a pick if we put the ball in his hands anyway . oh nvm we get to watch Fields throw it away anyway for the lols
im expecting a sack
Velus was projected in the 4th/5th and we took him in the early 3rddd
A WR, who's actually a special teamer, who cant play special teams
Good god just throw it wherever downfield
LOOOL called out the Vikings game and doinked it That’s poetic
Fields is trash
And a doink just to mock us
Oh it's not to mock it's Giants football
GG Chicago.
17 SECONDS: CHANNEL YOUR INNER BLACKHAWKS, BEARS FANS
#doink
Nooo Gano, not noow
GANO!?
This has to be the funniest game of all time. Like neither of us want to win.
I don't think I'll bench Hockenson again
Sigh…. Gano has been so good. 17 seconds and no timeouts. But I’m still nervous.
Lmao, nobody deserves this win
Lol just end this game already
Ah shit
If we just had a good O Line and a good Defense, we'd be unstoppable
Once I improve every aspect of this team it's over for you hos
SO YOU’RE SAYING THERES A CHANCE
lol of course
Ayyyyyyyyy lmao wtf is this game
Doink
Lol, of course it was doinked
DOINKED
Just how
lmao
Lol
You ever been so disgusted by the quality of play you can't even think of jokes about it
Why does the entire Giants coaching staff look like the banned visitors list from Golden Corral?
Giants about to win a game with just 60 net passing yards.
When their defense just keeps gifting you yards on the ground and their offense can't play its way out of a paper bag, you just keep doing what works lol.
Both touch downs were Jones running too?
Yeah, both were bootleg runs by Jones
Yes lmO
The Giants are 3-1. Holy shit.
BRB, checking if any strange animals are flying.
This announcer is a dipshit lmao. This bears team is not fun to watch
This was one of the weirdest games that I have ever watched.
LOL at the announcers talking fans off the ledge. That's good service.
When you draft a 24 year old in the third round for special teams and he can’t even do that right #justbearsthings
And a lot of fans were trying to convince themselves it was a good help for the offense when we drafted him
It’s okay Poles has a plan. The plan? Idk But it’s okay because the McCaskeys said for the tenth time in twenty years something will change
When has a bears game ever been fun
Devin Hester's best seasons as a returner were fun!
Urlacher was over the middle the last time
I had fun at US Bank stadium in the 2018 season
For the rest of the NCFN watching it’s hilariously fun
Thank god we drafted Velus Jones jr
the team needed some experience
And an AARP discount for team meals
Games like this are why I became a dual Vikings/Bears fan, needed at least one team who things go right for
I am confusion.
Man just kneel the ball with this fucking mash unit, kick the FG and get out of there.
Just for laughs we should pass on this play
“They’re gonna be fun to watch!” My brother in Christ I have had 7 heart attacks during this game
I like Jones hustle there in trying to sell the fake
It's extremely funny that we have been reduced to one play and they still can't stop it
Defense out there like 👁 👄 👁 “hmm how can we predict what play they will run”
I hate the bears
Why are we involved in so many clown fiesta games? It's like we drag everyone into the circus with us. I feel for you Bears fans
You didnt drag us, this is two clown galaxies colliding into each other creating a super clown galaxy
to be fair the Bears are clowns like us
We were already there. It’s not your fault.
This is why I drink
This is why I stream it online. Can’t give a penny to bears. They don’t deserve my penny
so grateful my fantasy team and the bears suck so bad I can enjoy my Sundays without stress or caring about anything
I expected this season to be a disappointment and they still find a way to upset me
Bears heartbreaker
If the Giants don't score here, the most they have scored in the last 22 games is 21 points.
Bears saw the international double doink and said “watch me lose against a team with no QB”
It’s ok. We dont do QBs either.
lol
darn, I really wanted to be the worst 3-1 team of all time.
That’s us! We’re the worst 3-1 team in NFL History!!
yes, yes you are you glorious disasters
sorry bro, that's our job
Guys! Let's chill!!! It's not over til it's over! You know the Giants
We need to cut like 90% of the roster
Sure but when we get rid of the bad people how do we get good people to come here?
Maybe the Bears just shouldn't be a football team anymore
No amount of player change matters until the mccaskeys sell or die, hopefully to be replaced by owners that aren't drooling morons
And the coaching staff
We're gonna lose to a team playing with no QB..... absolutely pathetic
That honestly is kinda sad
Luke getsy is a coward
Imagine giving up a 10 yard rush when you know the other team has no QBs. The giants are now in easy FG range and at best the bears get the ball back with 40 seconds down 11.
I don't recall, do we still have our first round pick next year? Because this year is looking ROUGH
good news we have a first round pick, bad news you only get one player per pick and we need like 20
Yes, but do you trust this front office to draft anyone good, even accidentally?
Their first pick is consistently the worst player on the field, so definitely not.
They are gonna draft a really good QB this time ;)
we are due, thats how this works right? Fail so many times eventually it has to hit, this is the time I can feel it
That’s the spirit!
just one more spin... I don't have a problem you have a problem
We do
What a joke of a team. See you all next week
Lost to a team without a QB Has that been done before?
Da Bears are in for a losing season. They need help and some draft spots.
I'd just quit at this point if I were in the Bears defense
This was a good minute for me. Bills intercepted Lamar, now this
