Yea that theory gets thrown around a lot but in reality a lot of games come down to one play. That's the parody in the game today. Just like getting into the playoffs can come down to just one loss.

It also takes some luck. The Falcons won 11 games and the South a couple years back and most of it was luck and games that come down to one play.

Hell in 2009 we had the ball bounce our way a couple of times.

To say a game shouldn't come down to one play sounds nice and all but in reality many games do come down to one play.

Well, said, Dude. Nicely done. And, absolutely accurate. If even one important play tonight -- like the PI call hadn't happened -- we would all be talkin' about how great this team is.

Top receivers rarely get that call. JG gets no respect from the league and he made them a lot of money. Banned dunking, cheap shots that are alowed without in game consequences, lack of obvious defensive pass interference calls... Fu** the NFL!

Re: We get screwed again

Refs called everything right

We would have won if defenders didn't leave receivers uncovered on 4th and forever or if Brees stopped throwing into triple coverage.

Re: We get screwed again

I hate the loss as bad as anyone but Graham clearly shoved that guy down. There was no acting involved.

Re: We get screwed again

Do we really want to be whiners like Vikings, Falcons or Panthers fans? Or like the Niners last year? Remember how obnoxious that was?

It was the right call. Yes the safety embellished it a little. But Jimmy pretty clearly pushed him.

If we want to be mad about something, we should be mad about the entire secondary letting the 49ers best WR get open that deep on that 4th down. Two guys were with him and they just let him go when the QB started scrambling. That is unacceptable, IMO. They thought they had the game won and it came back to bite them in the butt.

No. It was the wrong call. They don't call that 9 times out of 10. He didn't shove the guy, he touched him, and even if he did shove him, that NEVER gets called in a hail marry scrum. Never. Ever.

I'm not whining either. It is what it is. But I watched that game with a rabid 9ers fan. He was red in the face, big chester cheetah grin. I knew it was a bs call, and he knew it too.

Doesn't change anything, and I don't think there's any conspiracy, but that was a call that should never have been made.

Exactly. And, both things are true. The call shouldn't have been made, but since it was -- we lost. And, if we had played better, in other cases, we would have won.

Some people seem to believe that these two truths are mutually exclusive. They aren't.

Re: We get screwed again

The 49ers didn't deserve this game. The Graham play was borderline at best, but if you really look at that play you can see that Jimmy had position in the first place and would have had the catch no matter what. If he doesn't touch the guy, we win. But there was the horrible drop by Colston, and the tons of ridiculous blunders by Brees. I know Boldin dropped some passes, but only one of them was really significant. On the others, there was a defender there getting hs hand on the ball as well. We just flat blew it countless times.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
