Niners last play no-call

[Totally_Red]

Jim Harbaugh is right up (or down) there with Bill Belichick in the sore loser department IMO. Pro Football Talk has an interesting commentary on how when the Niners got away with a hold on Tony Gonzalez in the NFC Championship Game, Mike Smith and the Falcons refused to make an issue of it and showed class by congratulating the Niners.

Harbaugh and other Niners whining after this game shows a total and complete lack of class IMO. But I guess you it should be expected out of a total and complete jerk like Jim Harbaugh. He's a loser in more ways than one.

Maybe I have no class too, but I would have said something as well. Horrible non call and an unfair way to end the game. And I was rooting for the Ravens.

Good no call

Well, Jim Harbaugh is no Mike McCarthy that's for sure.

On a Cardinals board there is nothing to discuss.

Nobody except the Cardinals get sympathy around here about bad calls, no calls, etc., etc.

We get hosed all the time, and when we complain there are 1,001 excuses, and sayings that are throw at us.

The whiners lost, and looking for a call is not going to change anything.

The Giants won there last Super Bowl on a non-call that happened months before the Super Bowl was ever played, and nobody cared then, and nobody is going to care now.

I thought the point of the thread was Harbaugh's complaining about it.

And I don't agree with the philosophy that when you get hosed with the game on the line, you smile for the camera and say how great the NFL is. Screw that. If the ref swallows his whistle with the game on the line and doesn't call a penalty, I say you complain, even if you get fined for it. That's my only point.

Personally, I am glad the Ravens won.

I think a better throw likely gets a flag

when the pass lands 4 yards out of bounds, its hard to ask a ref to bail out the play

if there was a chance to make a play on the ball, then it really puts the onus on the ref to make a call

This.

Looks like the Whiners lived up to their nickname. I don't feel bad for the 49ers; they had their chances, what was it first and goal from the 7? And the replay looks like the receiver initiated the contact by running into the defender. And the pass was not likely to be caught anyway. Not to mention he has to be a bad sport when his brother is the opposing coach, what a lack of class.

 

[PACardsFan]

I love Harbaugh's intensity! I wish he were our coach. That was a horrible no call & he has every right to hitch about it.

 

[az jam]

I thought that it was defensive holding and should have been called.

 

[Fitz Rulz]

was listening to ESPN this morning. Chris Carter agreed to no-call since the receiver did not sell it by continuing the route. He went right to the inside of the defender.

Well, either call would have been supported by some anyway.

 

[D-Dogg]

Great no call, because he also pushed off the defender's head. Best case there is offsetting penalties and replay the down. The refs missed several holding calls on Niner drives..by their offensive line. Twice in a row at one point. They also missed a defensive holding call against the niners earlier in the game when the guy impeded the receiver's path about 20 yards down the field, then grabbed at him when the ball was in the air afterwards, which was a weak PI and good no-call, but the hold was blatant. No call, and the Ravens had to punt.

Jim's over the top antics are priceless though. He's such an uberdouche it is wonderful watching him lose to his much more classy brother. Even the parents were probably like "whew, our favorite son won, thank goodness." And what is with the old man pants, Jim? Looked like he had a load in them all game. Diaper?

Roddy White says good no call

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Is anyone talking about the no call on the safety play? The play that took 8 seconds off the clock.. When the punter was doing the endzone shuffle, I saw one Niner get flat out bear-hugged from behind.. The result would end up the same (safety) But I think it shows the refs unwillingness to drop the hankie in the last few plays.

 

[crisper57]

I agree is was a bad no-call. Crabtree should have been flagged for pushing off.

"When a receiver runs a route right at a defensive back and bumps him, there is an acceptable amount of holding that does happen, because the receiver initiated the holding," Austro wrote. "In this case, there was mutual pushing, so it all waves off. There needed to be a more egregious restriction of the receiver in order to draw a foul."

Suck it Jim! The older brother always out smarts the younger one.

It's the Lombardi Trophy, not a Pop Warner Participation Trophy. 9ers were screwed by non calls throughout the game. Jacoby's KO return , huge hold that even the primary camera recorded in vivid technicolor. Ravens OL held all game. The last play to Crabtree was an horrendous non call. Ref crew sucked all night long.

The Niners also benefited from at least two non-calls. One of the plays where Flacco got hit out-of-bounds. That gets called 90% of the time. And a second where Torrey Smith got mauled and held on a long pass.

If Jim Harbaugh wants to find the culprit for this defeat, he needs to look in the mirror not blast away at the officiating IMO.

You are right, the Niners did get away with several holds and interference calls that weren't called, all night long. It was atrocious.

I think we can all agree that the officiating was terrible. In addition to several questionable non-calls, the refs almost let the chippiness get out of control in the first half.

The hold on the Jacoby return was obvious and it was a huge non-call, by far the biggest in the game. The defensive holding at the end of the game maybe should have been called but it's the kind of missed call that happens often. There were probably a dozen such non-calls in that game alone that were at least as egregious and they went both ways.

Offensive PI on that play as well.

He's a great coach. Show me a good loser and I'll ignore him and take the great coach, every time. Besides, is there someone here that hasn't been a poor sport when they lost to their brother. It's much harder to lose gracefully to your sibling than it is to a complete stranger IMO. Oh sure, after the fact, once the emotions died, you can be happy for your brother but not AT the moment of defeat.
