I'm not big on whining about officiating, but that holding call on Gandy was horrendous. Tapp had him with two hands on the facemask and Gandy released him as soon as he got beaten. WTF was that?

Refs can call holding on any and every play if they want to, and I'm not sure why that was considered bad enough to take a TD off of the board.

Players I don't want to see on our team next year:

1) The entire offensive line
2) Bryant McFadden
3) Urban

F****** idiot moron Gandy killed that TD

That's not on Gandy. The refs made a horrendous call on that play. It wasn't holding and the defender had his hands jammed in Gandy's face mask. (and that holding call on Gandy during Wells run was B.S. too). :mad:

Honestly that was a tough call Tapp had both hands on Gandy's facemask could have easily gone the other way or been fouls on both guys.

To me it looks like Urban is already off the team. Did he even get one snap??

McFadden is going to be ok.

You know that was offensive PI on Antron's drop.

That's what I was shouting...and they rub salt in the wound by saying what a great drive saving play it was. Yeah, offensive PI usually is a drive saver if it's not called! :bang:

very much like the super bowl when they called facemask on DRC & Holmes had his & nearly twisted his head off.

Agreed OL giving Kurt time as well. D needs to step up.

McFadden was just out of rage from him getting toasted earlier. If he turns his head around I won't be as mad, but now I'm just looking for mistakes by him. The Cardinals make me bipolar, the anger has to go somewhere.

And this week if you want to complain about playcalls I'm with you. Im still baffled on that 4th down run play. Fitz lines up inside and has to pick which of 2 guys to block, the other guy of course stops Tim. I realize now Patrick is hurt but why not line up Fitz outside to make them take that one guy away?

bright spots, Boldin looks healthier, and Kurt didn't compound the one early mistake that we got back, and seems to have settled in.

Two bad holding calls on Gandy. The refs have taken points away from us...We can win this if D shows up in second half. Need some turnovers to get everyone fired up.

GO CARDS....

Boldin stills seems like he isn't himself mentally. Calvisi said Q was yelling at warner on the sidelines after one series to throw him the ball
