About that Boldin headbutt....

[Zod]

Sure wish there was an official near by to witness it. Surely would have been a flag.

And a ref next to the SF huddle of 12. Oh wait...

Obviously that was a terrible no-call (i never seen a ref crew ever call those petty headbutts to begin with) being that they called it on us earlier in the game BUT they did allow Luke to tackle Boldin 2 seconds early on the next play which was obvious PI.

le sigh

I agree! I ended up watching the game at the bar. We were baffled when no flag was thrown for that and also when he mushed one of our dbs in the head will on the ground after the play. There were a lot of questionable and no calls yesterday which really made  you wonder what was going on there. In the end, I am still proud of our guys. We will come back stronger next season.

Boldin knew he could get away with anything in this game. He has been around long enough to know the more popular team will get the calls. He was pointing and laughing at our backfield the whole game, especially captain.

Zod,your trying to cheer us up, right?

I've got no problem calling a tight game and I've got no problem letting them play.  I just can't stand having different standards for two teams playing in the same game. 

[countryboi]

I was kinda disappoint that the day before the seahawks were mauling the hell out of the saints WRs but yesterday if you touched anyone it was a penalty. I know it was a different crew but its the playoffs let them play

[osd22]

Just saying, besides the 12man huddle right before the TD:

I've got no problem calling a tight game and I've got no problem letting them play.  I just can't stand having different standards for two teams playing in the same game. 

 

Bingo.

This...

 

Personally, I feel the game should have been called tighter than it was, to put a cap on all that chippiness that was going on...  But when you flag one team for it, and turn a blind eye to the other, it's helping determine the outcome of the game...  That officiating crew needs to have a spot reserved in the SF team photo this offseason...

I'll say it for the last time... there was much suspicion in these playoffs thus far. as if it has been weaved to a written plot and ending. it started with that mega Luck comeback, then the "final take" slides during the NO/philly game as they went into bully mode, then the ridiculous NO season throw away pass from a intelligent player that knows all about space, our game goes without saying anything but may I mention it ended the way it started (early penalties and error with crucial calls), and now look... Elvis vs Beaver (Manning vs Brady) in the midst of retirement talk for Manning.... based on the media today, its as if we didn't even go to the playoffs. Just sayin'... no tears here... but this is becoming something somewhat predictable and very old as we see the same old thing. There is certainly some money rotating under the table.... btw what was on JR folded paper? certainly it wasn't a bucket list check off

 

Nevertheless it does feel better ending a season that wasn't dreadful like a wounded horse waiting to be taken out and beat after death by the media and wagon fans for months to come. I'm proud of the boys but there is room for improvement in obvious areas.

[rayzor]

it would suck losing even if it was a fairly called game, but it wasn't and that is the thing that pisses me off most. our guys never had a chance and the refs made damn sure of that early on.
