Its not an accident. The league very clearly wants the west coast and that market in the mix. This was just another example of the league controlling the outcome. We were robbed. Again. Roger has ruined the NFL.

Yeah afterwards I though shame he wasn't knocked down on the spin or sideline. Take another 30 seconds off the clock. Having 3 time outs and nearly minute on the clock needing a FG isn't that tough

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

As said for a while as much as I love having Kamara on Offense I don't believe in paying RBs 15ml plus a season. Especially not when they are not a 220lb bell cow

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

I have no doubt the Seahawks will beat these in a few weeks. Mostly because they'll do what we didn't. Control the tempo and shove everything up the gut and wear them out. Then if they stack the box they actually have 2 or three threats at receiver in Metcalf and Lockett plus role plsyers

Hate to say it but the Seahawks are the team to beat imho.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

It's a shame that Dean Blandino, former head of officiating, doesn't understand the holding rule on passes in punt formation. It doesn't work like other passes. On other plays, you have holding before the pass and pass interference afterwards. On punts though, that PI isn't there, but that doesn't mean you can't hold during the pass. If the pass is thrown out of the punt formation, holding can occur at any time... even when the ball is in the air, which is what happened. Horrible understanding of the rules, and the refs suck.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

The refs really nailed us again. The first half I was wondering where the flags were. I found out in the fourth quarter.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

No. We still are.:bng:

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

You're exactly right, Lee. I see certain comments of people admonishing the mere thought that anyone might have of giving the offense some blame, but the play caller on that side of the ball (Payton) was ignoring Murray's success in favor of feeding the "star" in vain.

I was telling my dad a few days ago that the Saints needed to run right up the middle against them, because they are an undersized front who relies on speed and quickness to get to the QB. And right away, Murray had some good runs up the middle, but Payton couldn't stand prosperity, and he had to pitch it WIDE, working right into the 71ers strength of getting off the edge. That killed several drives.

So while the defense obviously deserves the most blame, along with more awful officiating, Payton's ego of trying to trick people for no reason got in the way of what was an otherwise great day for the offense.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

This game, like so many before it, was rigged by the league. I don't understand how people don't see it.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

I can go with that

Hard to beat the opponents and refs though.


Apart from calls so much sloppy play. Might get away with onside kicks and penalties against Bucs etc but not at top level. The teams always seems to find a way to keep games in the balance.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

To a point I agree
Though I think it's league wide issue, they definitely want certain markets in. But I'm sick of blaming officials and letting sloppy play off the hook.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

The finger can be pointed at multiple people. The refs did us a lot of favors today.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

There was nothing sloppy about Johnson's tackle. That was the league giving the Niners a first down, and had it not been on him it would have been on someone else for some other bull**** call. It's not even debatable. The league does all it can to controll the outcome. Nothing could be more obvious.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

That's what I was saying earlier, and I was doing some serious yelling at the TV while Dean was putting his foot in his mouth. I haven't been that mad during a game in years. I was saying "do you hear yourself, Dean!"

How can he sit there and admit, on one hand, that you can't hold on a punt, but then say "oh, but he can't be called for interference"... Dean! It's STILL holding! What about that? What a total clown show. And neither announcers had either the common sense, or the guts to point that out to him.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

I don't disagree
No doubt the Saints are on the rough end, no doubt the league doesn't want home field advantage for the Saints and wants Dallas, 49ers,Rams and the media market going deep. It wasnt sloppy by Johnson, but plenty of plays over the past weeks have been. 3 onside kick recoveries, last play today, drops etc.

The refs suck, But that's a easy get out for plays the team should be converting and taking them out of it

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Two words....Zach Line!

Murray needs a blocker to really get going.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Murray avg damn near 10 yards per carry today ...

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

That's the most accurate statement I've heard all day. Well said good sir.:love:

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Why does he need Zach Line? Nobody stooped him today, other than Sean Payton. That's really all there is to it. Payton needs to take the blinders off, and actually ask himself what Kamara is doing to help this offense right now.

I'll leave it to others to speculate on injury, or business decisions by Kamara, but one thing is clear and is a fact. Kamara is not producing, and Murray is. Ride the hot hand.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Good points. If you've played football before then you must know what it's like to play less than 100% where the other teams average players are making plays on you because you can't quite slip their grip. That's Kamara lately. I hear people saying that's he's mailing it in and that a new contract will fix the problem. I say bull ****! The only thing that will fix him is Sean Payton not putting him through the grinder early in the year and giving him knee and ankle injuries. Try to run with either banged up against NFL talent. Much less both! Beer rant over.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

THe d line got no pressure for most of the game

JImmy G was working on a 6 second suntan

Need more than Demario helping there

Even though the secondary sucked you can’t expect them to cover for that long

Better bring it in the playoffs

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Saints put up 46 points on the "best defense"... Offense wasn't the issue....A few bad calls and terrible play by Craig and Eli helped tremendously....Fully Healthy we beat them in the playoffs though

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

I believe that was a PI on E Sanders against M Williams on the 75 yard TD....but why was Von Bell matched against him in man coverage? D A has to play to players strengths more same thing with E Sanders TD pass why is your best PR in coverage on a RB by himself?

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Terron Armstead played a bad game IMO as well Him and Ramcyzk look BAD on outside runs Terron especially.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

He wasn't healthy. Wasn't moving well at all. Thought he played OK considering. Held up against a elite rush.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Probably the the best comment in the twitter feed was how is this considered a punt formation when the Saints have a QB on the field end not a punter. It's effectively a deep shotgun. Had they lined up in this formation on 3rd down a PI call should have been made. So, it would appear that a PI call would have been appropriate on 4th down as well.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

Regardless, it's holding the whole way down the field. Holding has been called for much less on returns I know that much.

The Patriots got screwed more though. A potential fumbe / TD blown dead then an obvious TD was taken away. Pats should have won that game. Their offense sucks but their D, that is how they make money.

Re: 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread
 

We got this fellows trust ST. It will all come together.
