One big silver lining will come from last night's officiating disaster

Officials are really going to overcorrect for Cam for at least the next few weeks if not the whole season. If a Niner so much as breathes on Cam in 9 days, they're going to throw the flag. Now we could probably beat the Niners with Joe Webb playing QB and I doubt any Niner gets much pressure on Cam anyway, but just watch. Refs have a long history of overcorrecting worse than Gano's second field goal try to win the game last night when they have egg on their faces.

Yeah cam has taken bad beatings and last year not even one personal foul called in his favor.. why change it now??

The hits hadn't happened in a massively watched nationally televised game like this before. Everyone is talking about the no-call killshots in the media today.

Because last year it wasn't on national tv in the only game that has been played done to the reigning league MVP by the defending Super Bowl champions and therefore has dominated headlines for 24 hours.

That said, I doubt anything is done becauseits ultimately the officials who are at fault and they get every excuse imaginable said for them.

Yeah, that's what I've been telling myself - starting out 0-1 and having Cam take a beating will be worth it in the long run IF it means he gets fair protection from the refs moving forward.  I'm not at all convinced that will actually happen though.

I am glad though that it happened on primetime national TV and the media has really jumped on it and not just the sports media.  This is getting pretty widespread attention and they're really taking the NFL to task for their hypocrisy.  If anything is going to get Cam fair treatment, this is it.  If it doesn't happen after this, it'll never happen.

It's insane to me that we're having to hope and beg that our MVP QB actually gets protection from the NFL after watching guys like Manning, Brees, and Brady get coddled for years.  If those guys simply take a hard hit, it's a penalty.  It doesn't have to be technically illegal, if they just plain take a hard, legal hit there's a good chance a flag will fly.

I'm not absolutely convinced we can count on that.

I sure as hell ain't convinced.

They've been allowing him to take a beating for 27 straight games now with no calls, why should they all of a sudden think they're wrong now?

The NFL gave us their "Oops!" today by deigning to allow us to know that, yes, Brandon Marshall's hit was cheap as fug.  They may think that's plenty.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
