Excited for the Bears vs. Falcons tonight!

I guess i'm the only one that agree'd with the INT call.
I would have been very shocked/angered if they overturned that.
Jenkins only had one foot on the ground ever then he got cracked and he doesn't control the ball which he never did that well so the lose ball bounces off him when his ass hit the ground.

That's how I witnessed it; you might not agree with the call, but it wasn't anything to be up in arms about. I think they made the right call.
I'll try to find a replay of the play.

Edit: The other message board I view would agree with the rest of this board, I guess i'm the only one. I better find a replay to defend myself. The announcers were TERRIBLE though, how havn't they lost thier jobs?

Edit2: I will agree with the fact "football move" being way too vague of a term.

What I guess I don't understand is how the ground can cause the ball to come out.

Part one - he catches the ball in his chest and he has possession.
Part two - he puts one foot down and get drilled.
Part three - I thought he still had enough possession for it to be a catch
Part four - He hits the ground and the ball pops up.

So he made a football move by having the one foot down and then taking a hit. Then he hits the ground.

Here is an example I can think of. What if the guy jumps in the air, a guy undercuts him while catching the ball he lands on his back and the ball pops up when he hits the ground and the other guys catches it. INT or NOt?

I guess part 3 is what I would argue. Although I'm clearly outnumbered by everyone everywhere so I'm not going to continue to do so until I can find a replay :)

Maybe I just thought the hit was so hard that subconsciously I assumed thats what jarred the ball lose not the hitting the ground, I assumed the hitting the ground was what caused the ball to bounce.

i see what your saying but watching the replay myself he catches the ball gets hit and when jenkins got hit the ball DID GET MOVED but he still clearly had his right arm around the ball and posessing it. barely but he did and then the shot when he hit the ground jolted it out since he was barely hanging onto it.
