My point is that our defense in the Harbaugh era has gotten many penalties that are questionable at best. This article sheds light that it could be the perception of the 49er players or Harbaugh by the referees when they make these snap judgement calls.
These things are cyclical and the pendulum has swung away from the 49ers...and I cannot stand it.

There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and fans/players accusing refs of being biased.

My point is that this does not merit its own thread.

Oh wait, that would require objectivity. Nevermind.

Pretty cool article to read. I don't see it as being critical of the 49ers - just calling it like it was.
