Everyone stop crying about the refs

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Yeah the 49ers got 90% of the close calls but the Panthers just flat out did not play well enough to win. A perfectly officiated game and we still lose. Panthers had plenty of opportunities to make plays and they just didn't make it happen. 49ers deserved the W today, I'm not going to whine about a couple calls, that crap is embarrassing.

In any event this year was a great step for the organization. Rivera did a complete 180 as a HC. Gettleman infused the D with a ton of talent and built the #2 defense in just one offseason. I'm looking forward to seeing him revamp the offense in a similar fashion this offseason. Go Panthers

The calls matter because they kill momentum. Instead of getting a touchdown, they end up with field goals because of penalties or no points at all.

 A perfectly officiated game and we still lose. 

 

You have no basis for saying that. All of the 49ers points came off of bad calls either on the play or earlier in the drive. It very well could have been a shut out with "a perfectly officiated game."

[Rags]

I'm nt happy with the bad ref calls

 

But I'm even less happy with Shula, our CB unit as a whole, and our defensive effort.

At the end of the first half I'd have told you to go fug yourself. That was disgustingly lopsided to the point that the announcers were pointing poo out. The refs flat out kept the 49ers in the game.

 

We poo the bed in the second half and got blown the fug up. No excuses there.

[Judo Thoreau]

Didn't lose because of the refs, but that doesn't mean they weren't atrocious. I'd say it was pretty embarrassing for the NFL.

[Guild]

No.  Officiating that is so obviously biased is unacceptable.  I will bitch about it forever.

[Guest Irv]

atleast the refs covered the spread i'm sure their pockets are happy.

I got over the calls in the 2nd half because I thought the 49ers were a better team. The difference in this game was the 49ers Defense outplayed Carolina's Defense when it mattered most (i.e turnovers, sacks, 3rd down and 4th down conversions). Our defense was not able to get the 49ers offense off the field on 3rd down. 

[CollegePanther]

There were way too many game changing penalties. Just let them play for goodness sake

[Jangler]

meh, the refs almost evened it up, but not quite. The Panthers had to show up from top to bottom for 60 minutes. they didn't do that.

[Kevin Greene]

We got our asses kicked in the 2nd half.

That's all.

The refs were an abortion, no way around it regardless of what you say. It was as bad as replacement refs. The offense has to be focused on this offseason and hopefully cam will get some weapons, but lets not act like gettleman did it all in 1 offseason. He was left with pieces like CJ, Hardy, Kuechly, and Thomas Davis which were the foundation of this defense.

This game goes into OT without the refs though
