Is it fair to whine about the refs this time?

[253hawk]

My favorite was when they were announcing a holding penalty before the play was even over.

I’ll give you a bs call: the unsportsmanlike penalty on Wilson. He wasn’t even looking at the Seahawks player. Looked like he was just tossing it up thinking a ref was going to catch it.

Intent doesn't matter, he still hit a player in the face with the ball. You want the refs to start assuming intent? Please...

Wasn’t that play already blown dead?

 

[253hawk]

No, he wasn't even on the ground yet and the ref was already on the PA.

 

[Hawkboi]

Really? Look closely at the game and you'll see a number of bad calls on us! Pass Interference, Holding Calls, just poor calls that if you don't want to doubt the Ref's a person can say the call could go either way.... These Refs were Horrible, and possibly worse than that! However, we should have never ended up allowing the Refs to control the outcome of the game at the end. Should have never missed the Extra Point and we would have won...

That was awesome. Camera still following the play and the White hat is already on the mic. That tells you all you need to know really

Not only that, but by doing that they take away the possibility of an offsetting foul by the D. If there were to be a face mask at the end of that run, then what?

 

[Mad Dog]

I mean, they had 6-8 calls against us on the last 3 drives. It's fair to assume they played a significant role in the outcome of the game.

Then don't hold.

Everyone holds in this league. Are you trying to tell me the OL just suddenly woke up and said, "we can't block anyone legally anymore." 7 Holding penalties when we only got one against the Vikings the week before? The players didn't change. The DL was arguably fiercer last week. Only difference was the reffing crew.

148 yards, and just brutal/suspicious timing down the stretch.

Niner fans, just accept the gift and move on. We get them sometimes too. There is no defending what happened today. None.

The officiating was hot garbage and it's dumb to defend it just to virtue signal to other people that you're a "reasonable" fan. No play or call is ever the single reason that teams win or lose games but that doesn't mean you can't have an opinion.

The weather made a big impact and I don't love that a team based in Seattle consistently struggles in the rain and on grass. Then again, Seattle drivers are awful in the rain too for some reason. Good luck to the ground crew at Levi's stadium trying to get that garbage field ready for another home game next Sunday.

I thought that timely PI on Griffen was complete BS and gave them the first down.

It felt like every first down conversion once it was tied got flagged. I don't watch replays to verify, but it sure seemed like it. The last one we didn't even hear it announced and never saw what happened. It was weird.

 

[Sgt Largent]

yes I think so actually. Seahawks dominated possession time, but had 14 penalties compares to SF's 8. The NFL wanted to give SF a win finally, just like they want LA Chargers to do well the refs have been on their side all year long. Who cares though we still have 99% chance to make playoffs.

Last game the 49ers were called for 13 penalties for 128 yards, including big ones. The penalties were called because the offensive line was struggling against Thomas of all people and the defensive backs were getting beat by Kittle and Pettis.

I’ll give you a bs call: the unsportsmanlike penalty on Wilson. He wasn’t even looking at the Seahawks player. Looked like he was just tossing it up thinking a ref was going to catch it.

Losing teams blame penalties. Stop holding and there’d be fewer.

Enjoy the week 5,god knows you haven't had too many this year.

At some point I'd expect the NFLPA to negotiate having all surfaces be the same (field turf) in the CBA to protect the players from having to risk injury on poor surfaces.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

I usually don't like to complain about refs, but thought they were awful today. Some of the penalties were on us, but I had issues with:

PI on Shaq Griffin in OT. Let them play.

Personal foul on Coleman when Taylor had just decked Coleman.

Trying to think of the other ones, but seemed like there were a lot.

Well if they don't get Bosa thats fine too.

why not?, holding worked very well for the 49rs Offense throughout the entire game.
No doubt the Seahawks could have played a hell of a lot better than they did, but the "Holding was being committed by BOTH TEAMS.
You're not being totally honest if you didn't see a few ticky tack calls go against the Seahawks...Like Defensive Pass interference, that ->WAS NOT PASS INTERFERENCE<-, for 15 yards.

Taylor was blocking. Coleman’s hit was well after the play and right in front of the official.

My sentiments exactly... Lots of 4 win teams, I think the Cardinals are going to get #1 overall but wouldn't mind the 49ers falling in the draft.

I Never blame the refs for a loss but it was so blatant in the 4th quarter. The NFL wanted a game that counted on prime time next week.
