That's a fumble clealry. I guess the niners aren't that lucky.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
That was brutal...the refs and the broken leg I mean.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
I love watching the Forty-Whiners get screwed.

What's the reasoning behind some of them?
January 19th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
Broke his leg but still got the strip and recovery, and they might not even give it to him.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
January 19th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
Why the hell is that "not reviewable?" If an obviously blown call like that is not reviewable, then what's the point of review?
January 19th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
January 19th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
I'd have to imagine it's because they don't want to be reviewing dog pile scrums to try and sort out who had posession and when. Obviously this one was clear cut, but I think they just made a decision to exclude all fumble recoveries for review.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
That should clearly be SF football. Just ugh.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
That call could decide the game. Just awful officiating.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
That reminds me of Shawn Livingston and Marshon Lattimore.

Niners just got fucked
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
So let me see if I understand the thread. 49er player recovers fumble. In the process of recovering the fumble he gets his leg snapped in two but somehow retains possession while laying on his back.
Seattle ball!
January 19th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
Pretty much, although it's not clear if his leg is broken or if he just trashed his knee Mcgahee style.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
do you ever stop and think, well, what kind of fucking moron put that in the rule book in the first place?
I mean, in what universe did the "tuck rule" make sense to someone? I know how. Because that person was a fucking moron, and they wrote that part of the rule book in moron-ese.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
Up-voted for the "Tuck rule" mention, or in other words, "The illegitimate start to the Patriots dynasty."
January 19th, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
fucking down-voted it, lol. I knew that was coming. Maintaining that the tuck rule is stupid =/= dissing Tom Fucking Brady. Tom Brady is unfathomably awesome and that rule was impossibly stupid.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
January 19th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
Well that's fitting.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
first, that injury is beyond brutal. Horrifying. One of those things that makes it hard to watch football.
Second, though, and I have no rooting interest (it's the 4th quarter and I still have no idea who I want to win), but THESE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN FUCKING BRUTAL.
I mean, G-d &^#$@.
Talk about totally fucking up a game. Congratulations to the entire officiating staff. You have fucked this game up good and special.
Between a bunch of overly officious shit, missing spots, totally blowing a few other calls, for FUCK'S SAKE, the guy's career could be over and you fucking humps could see some shit that was that fucking clear?
Fuck. I am so pissed off right now. Every one of those guys needs to be fired out of a cannon.
Well, look at that. BALL DON'T FUCKING LIE.
Still, I am just disgusted by these clowns in stripes.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
but I'm intrigued by your choice of curse words. Why do you say "fuck" and "shit" but censor "god damn"?
January 19th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
willingness to take some liberties with the English language.
January 19th, 2014 at 10:34 PM ^
you lose the same number of brownie points on judgment day for having said god damn and G-d D@$!
January 19th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
just hoping for some mitigation points for the effort.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
it's *very* rare that I can't figure out a rooting interest, but I truly haven't in this one, so it's been simmering quietly.
But rank incompetence over a prolonged period of time - it just grates and grates, and man, these guys have just sucked ALL DAMN GAME LONG.
I know these guys have a hard job, but there's a level of incompetence, where it's just like, come ON.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Ball don't lie

Scoop and Score there would have been awesome
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Ball dont lie
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Karma bitches.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Every play should be reviewable.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Ball don't lie.
January 19th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
January 19th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
You know that somewhere in the back of his head, Pete Carroll was thinking, "We got gifted the ball? Well, let's go for it on fourth. Ball don't lie."

Kaepernick is blowing this game
January 19th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
That was one of the worst throws i have ever seen
January 19th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
Gore, Iupati, Bowman, Harvin and now Bennett limps off. War of attrition.
Kaepernick had a great first half, but he has got to be more careful with the ball.
