Never take a timeout there, up 3 with 27 minutes left. eat the 5 yards; that timeout could be HUGE later. too bad the coaches, players, and announcers are too dumb to know it.

Honestly, I think only in the state of Georgia. Refs tend to let the players play in those situations.
Your tears are like a cola slurpee. Nyum nyum nyum!
Someone said this about the Denver game and it was just as true then.
The calls were pro-SF the entire fourth quarter.
One promotion shouldn't destroy your affection for one of the greatest action movies of all time.
Hilarious. First of all, the defense is allowed to contact the receiver within 5 yards. Second of all, the fact that you have the chutzpah to complain about the refs after being gifted with a completely bogus catch on that same drive is impressive.
If the Niners would have lost, I would have been upset about the bad catch call, but I would have recognized that they lost because they failed to play decisively better than the Falcons.
You're going to give me diabetes with your sweet, sweet tears!
I take it back. The last 3 quarters of this game sucked for Atlanta fans. Sorry, Sam. I don't know how you guys racked up 297 yards in a half, but I equally don't understand how you were stopped.
Sherman's Dead. And that was no WAY a late hit.
I'm a Dolphin fan, just call them as I see them. I felt the receiver was being held while the ball was in the air, which is interference. It may not always be called in that situation, but it certainly *could* have been.
And as I said earlier - and the head ref agreed - his hand was under that ball which was why it was ruled a catch despite the ground moving the ball. Another one that could have gone either way. Win some, you lose some.
Contact, hold, ride the reciever's back through the entire play. Apparently they're allowed to #### the receiver up the ass if they want to, so long as SF gets the ball after the play.
It was 1000 times more PI than that ######## "personal foul" they called to gift SF with a first down earlier.
If you're relying on the ref to make a 50/50 call, you already lost.
Pulling your arms away from the DB that's holding you is not pushing off.
It wasn't a 50/50 call. It was a 99/1 call. It was clearly and obviously pass interference.
Delicious tears.
Mike Pereira is outstanding as an ex-NFL official on those, and he said he would not have overturned the call and in fact seemed to be leaning toward it being a catch.
And on 4th down, you cannot expect to get a flag on that last play.
Neither fan base wants to admit it, but both of their teams failed today in one key mission: outplay the other team enough so that one call can't kill you. If you don't like the outcome, then ask your team to play better next time. The 49ers didn't have to worry about a ref's flag last week against the Packers, did they?
P.S. That helmet hit by the Falcons get called every time in every NFL game. Maybe the rule sucks, but you can't complain about the call, which was correct. The 49ers WERE lucky that the Falcons made the mistake, but they still made it.
Do you even WATCH the playoffs?
They also didn't call about 25 offensive pushoffs. But I wouldn't complain because they never called those. I am sure there were also 20 uncalled holds on the OL. On EACH side.
Well, at least you admit your bias up front.
Die in a fire.
Atlanta fans do. Baltimore fans do. New England Fans do.
You also shouldn't expect to be given a free first down after failing to convert on 3rd down. Sometimes you are though.
Of course not. If you lose in an NFL game, short something absolutely ridiculous like the tuck rule, or the Seahawks in that superbowl ages ago, you have no cause to blame the refs.
The Falcons lost because they couldn't stop the 49ers running game and they became one dimensional on offense. I'm just enjoying Sam's whinging because of the obviously poor call that went in the Falcons' favor that he chooses to ignore completely.
I have been a 49er fan since 1979. They failed is a key aspect. Defense. They got extremely lucky that Smith got cold feet after Ryan's pick and ran the ball too much. They got a couple marginal calls. They got an extra turnover. The falcons got Akers lucky that the 2nd half was even close.
Didn't you hear? Waving your hand in front of a story-line QB's face is a 15 yard penalty now.
Yes, I am talking about Jim Rome.
The catch by Douglass? Ruled a catch on the field. Not enough evidence to overturn on replay. It was the one call that didn't have a SF bias in the second half. And they ignored PF's for roughing against SF on two or three plays against Ryan after the throw. But hey, pretend it's not true. Whatever.
The defenders hand did glance of the QB's face mask... not that is interfering or roughing in any way.
Of all the people to post something like this.
Its not like Sam's handle is bearded redneck.
Not nearly as much as the non-overturn on a clear no-catch by Douglas would have been had the Falcons pulled it out.
The calls were pro-SF the entire fourth quarter.
This has been covered, but aside from the ticky-tack roughing the passer call which is 100% demanded by the rulebook and current state of affairs in NFL officiating, there's little to complain about. Douglas didn't make the catch AND committed OPI getting free to begin with, and the Falcons' tackles were holding all day (zenbitz is overly charitable in 2527 to offset his Niners bias; granted the SF defensive front was sloppy and generated no pressure the majority of the game, but there were some absolutely egregious fourth quarter holds against Brooks). On the fourth down play, contact was within 5-6 yards (will never get called), White got free as the ball was thrown and couldn't make the catch on a ball well behind him.
That said, I understand the frustration obviously and don't mean to grind the axe. Obviously stuff like 2524 is out of line.
I hope the things you love die slowly and painfully while you watch.
Sure, I guess it could be worse.
I had no real rooting interest, just hoping for an entertaining game. I was satisfied, but Sam's tantrum has been even better.
Well, clearly the NFL has their story-line babies going to the game, just as they planned, so that's all good I suppose.
I'll try to console myself by remembering all the Super Bowls my team has won.
The rulebook disagrees. I think that the rule is a bad one, but the call was made correctly.
I think the difficulty here is that you don't appear to understand the rules. A lot of NFL fans are like this. They see things happen, and they think, "That looks like roughing the passer!" However, the rule for what is and is not roughing the passer is pretty clear.
"If you lose in an NFL game, short something absolutely ridiculous like the tuck rule, or the Seahawks in that superbowl ages ago, you have no cause to blame the refs."
Even the tuck rule call was correct, based on the stupid rule that amazingly remains on the books. The Pats could not have won the Super Bowl that year if not for a ridiculous rule, but there is no reason to blame the refs for making the correct call. It was a clear example of the dumb rule.
The Seahawks? Yes, the refs ruined that Super Bowl, really. SO many bad calls throughout that I can see those fans having a right to #####. (Of course, they got the worst final-play call in NFL history go their way this year, so there's that).
Yes, clearly driving a QB to the ground three steps after the throw is released isn't roughing, while waving at the ball as you avoid bodily contact with the QB entirely is. Because, you know, rules and stuff.
Niners had 48 plays, Falcons 51, but the niners lead in YPP 7.6 to 7.5.
Falcons had 10 more yards of offense, but 1 more turnover. Niners missed a 75-25 field goal. Penalties were within 10 yards. Niners had more return yards... But 60 of the K/O return yards were "free" (could have just taken a knee). So that's a whopping 13 yard edge on 1 punt and 1 int return.
Only if you believe their should be no interpretation of said rule book.
Just let it all out big guy. We're here for you. It's hard to lose, I know. There, there.
You can tell it was a ######## call by watching Kaepernick's non-reaction.
May your parents burn in hell for eternity.
Discuss.
I listen to the local country station... and I don't know who they are.
It took the ball out of Atlanta's offense's hands.
This will be the 10th year in a row that the Super Bowl champ won't have as many regular-season wins as one or more teams. The times, they have changed.
Looked like Ray Lewis did, too.
Eh, Matty Ice would have just coughed it up again, as he was doing the entire second half.
Brady is certainly top 10, but I don't think he's near #1. That's probably Montana in my book, with good arguments to be made for several others (Unitas, Graham, etc).
A first-half timeout.
nicely done, but not the same as a second-half timeout.
Wish that Belichick had saved the fake punt for the second half. But still really cool.
I just looked at the box score of this game....
This is 100% wrong, and is missing 15 plays and 100 yards of 4th quarter falcons offense. There was some screw up with the play logging. Advancedfootballstats.com WPA is all wonky as well.
Well maybe not
Let us all bow before the preferred narrative, for it is easy and fed to us with spoons!
I love the fact that dopes like Jim Rome focus on how many wins Peyton Manning has in the postseason, and not how far his team got each year.
In Rome world, going 10-6 and beating a 9-7 team in a home game in the first round is way better than going 14-2 and skipping the first round altogether. If only PManning had lost more regular season games, he might have enough playoff wins to appease the Romes of the world. lol
guy ducked his head
for what it is worth for the last, oh 30 years or so, when green bay gets inside the 40 i have been ranting for them to go for it on 4th down.
unless it's crazy long. and even then i am leaning towards going for it'
i just don't see the purpose in a punt that puts the opponet at what, maybe the 10 yard line?
but that's me
ouch
good for bill at getting that type of gig
while trying to remain modest i worked and generated what could be termed a small ag empire. and i didn't dress like a bum though there was plenty of denim involved
just saying
Plenty of analyses have concluded that coaches are much too conservative.
I like to compare it to my early days in the mainframe computer game in the 70's. They used to say "no one ever got firwd for buying IBM."
Corollary: "No coach ever got fired for punting."
