I guess the refs made the Niners play like today...
One year after
If you honestly consider the NFL your favorite sport and invest time & money, you should re-evaluate your life. As the talent disparity continues to shrink, refs will continue to become the deciding factor in games. Think about how illogical the sport of American football is. It attempts to measure inches with rusty chains? The Rams were rewarded possession without clear indication of recovering the ball?
Eventually the 49ers will Win the Super Bowl again but odds are it will be ref assisted. This is the current nature of the NFL. When there wasn't instant replay, you could excuse blown calls. What am I supposed to think after today? The entire goal line segment with Crabtree, the clock started to run before we snapped the ball and then the possession switched hands? Inexcusable. I think I will be putting family first on Thanksgiving and watching our game in the background. It is simply Sport and a very flawed one.

How do you not blow out rams? Tbh.
Time to start focusing back on povertyball, where refs miss off sides penalties all the time which cause game changing goals to be taken away
kool aid man's bro said it best. Soccer is infinitely more impacted by the refs than any American sport is.
Soccer is a far superior sport and this thread illustrates it
- Fkd up Crabtrees TD
- Screwed up the clock
- Over-turned possession
How do you manage those 3 fk ups in the span of 3 plays with the game on the line. This simply does not occur in Soccer. Complaining about Refs in World Cup or Champions League is far less than a NFL Sunday or NBA Playoff Night.
The offensive line & QB struggled. Every other unti is as good as advertised.
"No other sport has had anywhere near as many [games]"
NBA is the most rigged
NFL is simply a flawed and illogical game trying to be based around measuring inches and every clock stoppage to the exact second. This is probably why no one plays American football outside North America and prefer the free flowing and more logic Rugby
A soccer referee named Ibrahim Chaibou walked into a bank in a small South African city carrying a bag filled with as much as $100,000 in $100 bills, according to another referee traveling with him. The deposit was so large that a bank employee gave Mr. Chaibou a gift of commemorative coins bearing the likeness of Nelson Mandela.
FIFA has banned 74 more officials and players from world soccer for helping fix matches, this time in Italy and South Korea.
FIFA says it imposed sanctions on 70 people, including 11 who were banned for life, after a series of cases prosecuted by Italian soccer authorities.
FIFA says the charges involved "match-fixing (direct involvement or omission to report match-fixing), illegal betting or corrupt organization (association to commit illicit acts)."
Prosecutors in Cremona, Bari and Napoli have pieced together a conspiracy they believe was organized from Singapore to bet on rigged Italian soccer games.
Former AC Milan and Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso was placed under investigation for match-fixing Tuesday and four more people were arrested in an early morning police sweep.Cremona prosecutor Roberto Di Martino, who has been leading the Last Bet operation for three years, told The Associated Press that Gattuso and retired Milan and Lazio player Cristian Brocchi were allegedly part of a ring that fixed Serie A and other Italian matches at the end of the 2010-11 season.
Hundreds of soccer matches have been fixed in a global betting scam run from Singapore, police said on Monday, in a blow to the image of the third world's most popular "sport" and a multi-billion dollar industry.
About 680 su ious matches including qualifying games for the World Cup and European Championships, and the Champions League for top European club sides, have been identified in an inquiry by European police forces, the European anti-crime agency Europol, and national prosecutors.
Turkish police have detained a Fenerbahce director and three other suspects for interrogation in a growing match-fixing probe.
The police detained Murat Ozaydinli, a board member of the league champion Fenerbahce, along with another club official on Friday. The others arrested were a player of Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesi and an official of Genclerbirligi.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a Fenerbahce supporter, has extended full support to the crackdown on football corruption. Hurriyet newspaper quoted Erdogan as saying, "I regard this as a process of purification."
More than 30 people, including Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim, have been charged in the probe that involves 19 games last season. Fenerbahce faces the threat of losing its le and being relegated.
I actually like watching soccer and love playing it, but ya, I don't see how it's not considered the most rigged and fixed sport of all, tbh
Five clubs in Albania, Latvia, Slovenia and Hungary are suspected in European soccer's biggest match-fixing investigation.The European soccer governing body identified the clubs Wednesday as KF Tirana (Albania), KS Vllaznia (Albania), FC Dinaburg (Latvia), NK IB Llubljana (Slovenia) and Honved (Hungary). They allegedly fixed seven qualifying round games in the Champions League and Europa League between July 16 and Aug. 6.
so, OP is trying to convince people to stop watching football when he apparently can't even get himself to stop watching football?
Boiled down::::
Soccer>Any other sport.
Exactly my point. Global Football is fighting the problem while NBA & NFL continues on while you suckers watch ignorantly.
You can't throw a phantom flag or call a phantom foul in Global Football. Referees in American sports are protected by the way the Sports are illogically structured: Endless fouls called
I covered this with my last sentence in OP
