Mitchell sounded off on the litany of bad calls.  May have been posted somewhere already.

"I can't wait to play them [again] with a new set of refs in a new game," Mitchell said of the 49ers, who advanced to the NFC Championship Game.

...

 

"It was just ridiculous," Mitchell said. "A couple of things weren't called the same way. I made a good play taking his legs out, and he gets up in my face and head-butts me, which is the same exact thing you saw Captain Munnerlyn do."

Mitchell noted that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was at the game, "so I'd be curious to see what he thought about that."

"It was the exact same play," Mitchell added. "One team gets the call, the other doesn't. I guess that's human error in football."

Mitchell's next complaint was about a pass interference call on Carolina cornerback Drayton Florence on third-and-9 of that series. The officials said Florence never made a play on the ball. That gave the 49ers first-and-goal from the 1.

"I don't know if you call that in playoff games, but it is what it is," Mitchell said.

On the next play, television replays showed 12 players in the San Francisco huddle prior to a 1-yard touchdown catch by tight end Vernon Davis. It was not called.

"They had a guy in the huddle and they ran him out," Mitchell said. "We were all screaming 12 in huddle."

Referee Carl Cheffers said after the game he didn't call a foul because "the ball was not in play yet."

Davis' touchdown gave San Francisco a 13-10 halftime lead. Carolina coach Ron Rivera said the 12th player "was missed."

"Or at least I thought it was missed," he said. "I saw the guy run off late. Our players saw it."

Rivera wasn't as outspoken on the officiating as Mitchell was, but said, "there were some things in the first half that really bothered me."

Mitchell said he can't wait to play the 49ers again in the future.

"Everybody was emotional and upset, and rightfully so," he said of the scene in the locker room after the season-ending loss. "But I told guys as soon as they got in here, remember this feeling, that team. Remember this feeling and that team we just played because we will see them again and it's not going to be sweet."

Look Guys I love football and the Panthers. However I am very skeptical of officiating especially at the pro levels of professional sports. I am a huge Lakers fan since I grew up in LA. In 2002 I witnessed what was an obvious fix of a game that shamefully went in the Lakers favor. It was game 6 of the 2002 western conference finals against our rivals at the time, the Kings. Look it up. Just as That tool and worst commissioner ever Stern stole a game, I believe that other tool Goodell had plans for a SF victory. Yes we played a bad second half, but does anybody believe that would have happened if the refs hadn't castrated our defense? Sent from my SPH-D710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
