Some people don't like to make excuses. I on the other hand, like to call things for what they are. And yes, the Lions were able to get away with things all game that we were not. The only thing that went our way was the penalty against Gore, which hardly offset all the crap we had to put up with. I'm also reading that we got an extra five yards on a late spot, but who cares, we got about -100 yards on crap calls, including the worst PI call I've seen in my life.
This zebra crew should be eliminated from the NFL as I've never seen a worse display.

The refs were determined to win the
time of possesion in the game.

I thought the officiating was bad on both sides. There were a lot of bad calls all game long.

The 49ers needed every yard they could get at that point in the game. It took them eight plays to go 35 yards for the go-ahead score, which came on Alex Smith's fourth-down pass for a 6-yard touchdown to Walker.

Are you sure you're a Niners fan? Now I just reviewed the game(yes I DVR'd it) and that is one helluvan observation. So much so that the Lions staff nor players noticed it. It just seems to me that a nitpickin Detroit fan would point that out, not one of our own. We could do the same all day and I'll give another example. Right before the half we're trying to hustle to put some more points up. Smith hits Vernon on a short 3 yd pass and the play is over...seemingly. When the refs are trying to get the ball to spot it Cliff Avril comes and pops Anthony Davis well after the whistles. No unsportsmanlike, no delay of game. Just one of many scenarios in which we could make an arguement FOR our team, not against them.

Except when we're home... I am convinced that it's almost always slanted towards whomever we're playing. But we'll just have to overcome that.

See the only problem with calling out susweel for being a Detroit Fan is that he's actually quoting Matt Maiocco's article:

Bottom line is this is one of the worst officiated games I have seen in a very, very long time.

Pathetic job by the refs. It seems to get worse every season and one reason has to be Goodell and Co.
New penalties that are difficult or downright impossible to see in real time don't help the game of football.
And when you say it's for player safety you get empowered to really screw the game up.
Yesterday what really bothered me was if the refs know that noise is a big factor and they're looking hard at the lines then they should be picking up mistakes on BOTH sides.
It was obvious that our players and Harbaugh were complaining about Lions Dline movement as the OP pointed out.

Worst officiating in recent memory. They had to have a conference for every little thing. They sucked, don't think these guys are gonna be sniffing the playoffs as a unit.

Sorry, I didnt see your thread. The only other threads were about the game in general, and I thought the refs discussion should have its own.
Aside from the game, I was pissed at the calls in the game like the false starts, calling Iupati for unsportsmanlike conduct when the helmet of the guy he was blocking came off

how about that high/low chop block?
the point is, bad calls were made for and against the niners.
We got a couple of bad calls in our favor. Basically 10+ other calls went in Detroit's favor. Literally every procedure call was against us, and after a while it was just plain silly stuff like the refs penalizing us for an illegal formation where one lineman was slightly off the line and they gave no warning to our guys before calling it. In another, they penalized us, and then didn't reset the play clock, forcing us to burn a timeout. It was mixture of incompetence with thinly veiled bias. They were basically looking for procedural technicalities to pin us with. In some cases we obliged, in others, they looked for stuff that just wasn't there, and in a few other cases, it was Detroit actually being offsides or simulating the start of a snap or baiting a false start that was blamed on us instead.

Carey is a mediocre ref overall....but this is by far the worst I have ever seen from him. He's been doing this for a really long time too....there's no excuse for this level of incompetence.

In addition to what was already mentioned, in rewatching the game, I too did see a lot that was uncalled: Their DL offsides a few times, many starting in the neutral zone, a TON of push-offs by their WR's, a plethora of holdings esp. on Smith in both pass rush and in the running game, a lot of ticky-tack calls (PI's, Sopoaga penalty, etc.) and many after-the-play pushings by them right in front of the refs. That said, I did want to say that we finally got a few that did go our way too but it certainly was 2:1 hands down against a team who was one of the least penalized teams in the league coming in. We certainly overcame our own faults and could have truly lost composure with all the additional penalties pilled on.

I went to the game. To say that the crowd was rocking is an understatement. In 3 games so far there's been 15 false starts called against the opponents. It should not be surprising that there was alot of false starts against us.
It didn't seem like a greatly officiated game. The horse collar against them and the roughing the passer against both seemed questionable.

From all their BS penalties (don't forget the roughing the passer on Aldon when QB was releasing the ball), at least they got one call right...the review of DW's TD at the end of the game. Knees off the ground and ball crosses goal just before knee finally goes down.
