This is exactly what I was thinking while laughing my ass off watching this play out. What's worse is that this played a big part in helping his team lose and really hurt their playoff chances. I can just imagine Harbaugh sitting back watching this game, lol.

Karma for depantsing the punk clown Jim Schwartz in front of the nation on Thanksgiving of all days. This was the ultimate karmic smackdown.

yeah whats even funny is that this play cost him the win. NFL Network just broke down the play and what happened, because he tossed the red flag they could not even replay/review the play. The player was down for sure as his knee hit the ground. If Schwarz does not toss the red flag, they could have looked at the play wether he scores or not. They really need to change this rule its one of the worst and will cost a team in the playoffs.
