Where is the offensive PI!?

Horrific

Would like to see another angle, can't see the arm extension, but it looks like a standard out-breaking route. The DB is not impacted at all. Phantom call.

Yeah, that was a horrible flag to throw that late in the game.

Yup. Ball is on the Rams 39 if that stands. 1st and 10 with plenty of time. Gould gets a chance to win the game if not for that call.

That DB was playing the deep route. You can tell when the safety comes down to pic up Garcon. 23 can't get beat deep, so he plays back. NFW is that even close to a OPI. Its a perfect pattern and a 1st down.

#thursdaynightscrewjob

yeah that was crazy. Offensive PI my ass.

This was a really bad call. What made it worse was that it was the last minutes of the game. The refs highhandedly decided the outcome of the game.

Luckily it will be obvious to almost anyone that watched that the refs messed up bigtime. With ratings dipping and this being the first true exciting Thursday game in a while, I'm sure the league office isn't happy the refs impacted the outcome. Refs are doing a really inconsistent and horrible job lately.

Agree. That was a horrible call. And the missed pass interference before Hyde's final touchdown was bad too. We can't even get some favorable refs at home!

Anyone arguing that there definitively was no OPI or OPI from that camera angle is just using motivated reasoning.

There's simply no way to tell. Show me the camera angle from the refs vantage point on the sideline and we'll have something to talk about.

As for the purported NFL conspiracy, there's a segment of every fanbase that insists there's a shadowy conspiracy that's holding their team back. Fans of the good teams (e.g. Pats, Seahawks, Packers, etc.) are even more vociferous about it.

Iz you blind?

Even if he did push off, the DB made contact well after 5 yards, so worst case there should have been off-setting penalties and replay the down.

Maybe its just me, but over the past several seasons it seems like we're the victim of a bad call costing us a game, and I honestly can't recall when was the last time we benefited from a controversial call winning us a game. This goes back to the Harbaugh years too when we were winning. Can't get a call. People say these things have a tendency to balance itself out....sure doesn't seem that way though.

We benefited in the Atlanta game on the way to the Superbowl. The bowman no call. That's the last I remember.

Don't even care about the call. The loss will help us secure a FQB.

The defense being horrible on the other hand was more disappointing

Man... every single comment on this game that you can read anywhere is saying the 49ers got screwed. Even Rams fans are feeling guilty.

Just so disappointing.

Just another example of a game being hijacked by the refs at the last minute. It was one of the best TNF games in recent memory until they deciding to interfere on the last drive and f**k it up. We stole momentum and were marching into FG range to likely win the game. No reason for that call at all. None. So infuriating.
