Bad call...but not a game changing play either. Points matter.

Thanks for showing the greatest one handed catch in NFL history. But that can't be why you posted it. Rather, it's probably because you think Tate should have been called for offensive PI. While I can't deny that Tate shoved the defender in the back, on a Hail Mary at the end of reguation it is the culture of the NFL to not call PI on those throws. Somebody went back and showed that dozens of contact has occurred during Hail Mary attempts at the end of halves or games and never was PI called.
So yeah we got away with contact but Tate still has to make that amazing catch and hold onto it all the way down to the ground establishing contact first. He outmuscled 3 defenders and still made the catch. That is why the touchdown counted and why the NFL said nothing and hasn't changed their rules over it.

Last year the only reason we didn't sweep them was because a blatantly wrong call the officials deliberately changed what the call was simply so we couldn't challenge it and that bogus call prevented a Crabtree fumble recovered by us from being reviewed and giving us the ball. They scored 3 on that drive and only won by 2 and we had one less possession. If they get that call right we bet them in candlestick and sweep them last year.
I disagreed with the roughing the passer call, but the network guys made wAAAAy too big of a deal out of it. To hear them tell it, you would have thought that the entire game hinged on that one call. Although it's impossible to tell for sure, I got the sense that a 6 point lead would have stood up just as well as 10 points did.
I'd also remind Niner fans that they got away with a clear PI in the first half that cost us at least 3 points.

The fact that clearly SF homer announcers Troy and Buck droned on about it all rest of game is rediculous at best and unprofessional at worst.
