A win is a win, but...
 

Man, there were some real bonehead plays in that game.
Brees telegraphed and gift-wrapped that int, plus the IG
Moore with the 3rd down drop and then fumble
Corey White... well...

the niners had some drops, clock problems and real stupidity- CK goes out of bounds, the helmet to Brees instead of a TO, and the interfere on Sproles' fair catch

and what was with the conservative, heart attack inducing drive at the end?
Yes, Hartley screwed it in by at least 2 feet, but still...

oh well, end of the day, Great Win

33 yards on offence, 17 pts, because moore fumbles on the 5, bad interference call for 3, and a pick for 7 more. SF sucks and needs this to win. They cant win on their own.

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

all they count at the end of the year is W's and L's, never style points. I share your frustration, but damn it feels good to come out on the right end!

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

I am serious when I say that I truly believe their coach coaches them to complain for flags.

They do it on defense too, I mean they frigan cry alllll game both sides of the ball.

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

These are the games that great teams find ways to win. Defense was outstanding yet again!

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

Agreed... Two Dat!

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

Not "buts". San Francisco is a very good team, particularly their defense. No shame in this win...AT ALL.

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

Except for the fumble White played a solid game. The PI call was not his fault, that was a horrendous call. And that back shoulder throw to the front corner of the end zone is just about impossible to defend.

I am not super-excited to see White as the no. 2 corner but he seems better prepared for it than anybody else we got.

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

It was getting so bad in the second half I was starting to think they must bring in choreographers to practice in order to show them how to properly extend their arms in a downward V, palms toward the ref and with a firm tone shout, "Come one, ref!", :rolleyes:.

The 'whiner' nickname is well-deserved, IMO.

Re: A win is a win, but...
 

I get frustrated with our very sloppy play and almost handing the game away.
But in the end, flubs, bad calls, penalties..........all that is part of the game.
We pulled this one out fair and square. The 49ers had the ball and failed miserably to move it.

We won. I'll take it.

BTW - that cross hook, neck collar swing at Drew was 100% the right call. The dude is a thug and swung at his neck. He really needed to be ejected and didn't need to do that at all. Just, again, whiners playin dirty.
