Shorted on Spots?

[Pitt Gorilla]

I know it didn't end up mattering, but it appears we were shorted a few times (for first downs) and I thought Andrew might want to challenge the spot. Anyone else notice that?!?

At some point, media folks are going to start digging these up, no? It can't be just us who saw these.

I was pissed, and nervous given our short yardage issues. So relieved it worked out. The 4th and inches play was genius.

Yep, I told a couple guys at the time Andy should have challenged that and it was stupid not to if you are going to burn a time out anyway.

Another call nobody has mentioned was the horse collar tackle that was pure bullshit. He had his jersey, not his shoulder pads.

It can actually be a horse collar if they grab the collar of the jersey, the key action is that it buckles the knees or takes him to the ground

I still think it was a bad call because I don’t think it really buckled him, and he let go quickly.

There were a few times I thought we were like 2nd and medium and the graphics said it was 1st and ten. It happened once for us and once for the niners. Did anyone else catch that?

Sure I saw a 2nd and 5 suddenly become 1st and 10 on the graphic but can’t remember if it made any difference to the next play.

Would also like to see that throwback play again. At first blush, it appeared that San Fran had a lineman 8-10 yards down the field.

Happened during Ravens game too.

That’s affirmative. Or as John Madden use to say, it’s the left foot verses the right foot. We always had the ref that used the left foot.

Isn’t it time to have a computerised field and ball that spots the ball electronically based on rfid, and a computerized whistle that geo spots the ball the instant the whistle blows or when it breaks the sideline plane/ endzone.

no, the NFL is rigged (every dumbass 8th grade boy today)

There was quite a bit of bullshit in the officiating that is washed away because we won. Bullshit intentional grounding, ticky-tacky defensive hold in OT to keep 49er drive alive. Many terrible spots in favor of the 49ers. But hey, we won.
