I'm just sayin -- there was no penalty flag thrown on this play, and dude was fined like 7 grand or something stupid.

So obvious that was a penalty hit it's maddening. The horrible officiating has added some spice to the games. :laughing

Replacement refs threw a flag on the Niners at opening kickoff. Then announced the penalty as blocking in the back when the Niners didn't even have the ball. Refs waited 30 seconds then announced they changed their mind, no penalty. :rofl
 
They're staying in Youngstown, Ohio for the week so they don't get fucked by having to play at 10am West Coast time again on the east coast.

Which is no excuse for yesterday, considering how they trounced East Coast teams at home last year. All the same, I think Sanchez is gon get raeped on Sunday. Niners have a mean D with a lot of frustration to vent. Anybody putting odds on T-Bone starting in the second half?
 
Oh it's not an excuse at all. From what I can see, Smith played like crap and missed at least one TD pass to Moss that should have been made.

They laid an egg. Get over it and move on to the next game. Good reminder that you have to actually show up and play the games and not buy into the OMGZ YOU ARE TEH AWESOMEST TEAM!!1one! hype.
 
It was good that they got beat. A reminder that they are good, but nothing is given in the NFL. They've been brought back down to level and will focus like they should.

How are the Lions so bad this year after being so promising last year? Terrible game last weekend vs the Titans.

3-0 and playing really well on Defense. Kolb is playing extremely well at QB. Hopefully they continue that and win the Division. Seattle is playing good Defense as well. Looks like the NFC West is back.

Andy Dalton is playing at a high level. No sophomore slump after 3 games. AJ Green is the leading AFC receiver. I wish the Defense didnt give up so many points. What happened to that 7th ranked D from last year? They've only lost one starter.. LB Howard. Hopefully they fix some things soon.

couple of thoughts on MNF "debate":

- read the NFL's explanation. it actually makes sense in the sterile environment of a book. (the PI was not review-able, only the TD/INT/catch scenario)

- that was clearly an INT and the rules did not process the scenario correctly (similar to the recent Megatron winning TD catch that wasn't a "catch").

- the regular refs would have replay reviewed the scenario in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. because of the rule book. this is a fact. stating otherwise is stating that the regular refs don't know the rule book or would lie to manipulate the outcome of a game.

- any statements that the regulars would have noted the offensive PI on Tate in real time is conjecture. it was a scrum down there, a fast moving one, and the PI was NOT obvious to the naked eye on TV in real time. the nearest ref was behind a Packer, relative to Tate. there's no reason to assume he would have seen that small motion, in real time, of a white jersey moving on a background of other white jersey's. not a reasonable expectation for ANYONE to get this correct 100% of the time in this situation.

- the ref blocked off from the PI (see pick in post above) was actually the one who correctly called it an INT!

- the ref who called TD was 25 yards downfield when the catch was made. this is the only ref who would have had LoS on the PI. he was probably further downfield that that when the ball was in the air and running at full speed when the PI was committed. not an excuse, just context for how unreasonable it is for us to assume he'd see that call 100% of the time.

- i'll say it again. the regulars make plenty of mistakes, too. sometimes even game-changing mistakes. we've been complaining about poor reffing forever. not sure how we've all forgotten that... (Ed Hochuli I'm looking at you, buddy....)

- the PI on Kam Chancellor on 3rd and 2 was BOGUS. the errors cut both ways. (as BOGUS as the PI on Culliver that kept alive a MIN TD drive)

- finally, the problem is in the NFL rule book. not with the replacement refs. well, not entirely, anyways.

also lost in all this is how fucking AWESOME of a defensive effort the Seahawks put up in the 1st half and the OUTSTANDING adjustments the Packers made in the 2nd half to start moving the ball.

underneath the hubbaloo this was a REALLY good game!
 
I'm just amused that since the Niners were so good last year, the rest of the NFC West seems to be getting pretty good purely out of spite.

you could see the genesis of it last year. both SEA and AZ defenses got REALLY good towards the end.... as good as the SF defense was.
