If it's at all close this is a certainty.
the nfl is a giant marketing organization. They only care about selling ads. They literally are the same as google and facebook
If we make it to the Super Bowl we should sign Kaepernick and pull a card if we lose.

Oh well, 49ers will have to find a way to beat the refs as well. Couldn't do it the last 2 times

LOL these conspiracy theories. No, the holding on Bosa wasn't called. When is it ever called? That wasn't why we lost that game. 2.8 is why we lost that game. Hopefully if Jimmy gets back he redeems himself.

If anything, the NFL would have wanted a Rodgers/Mahomes superbowl. I'm shocked we didn't get f**ked with a penalty to lose that game for us.

Thats giving mahomes no credit whatsoever. When dude is on, HE IS ON. He's done it to the niners. He's done it to damn near everyone they played. Unfortunately for everyone eles, mahomes seem to be peaking at just the right time.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but sometimes I wonder. In the GB game we got to around their 5 yard line twice and got some tick tack penalties to keep it to a field goal. Almost 100% we don't win that game without the punt block.

Indeed. When the Bills scored and made it 7-0, the kickoff bounced to the returner at the goal line and he ran it up to the 26yd line. It took six seconds off the clock. Why wouldn't the Bills coaching staff do the same thing - hardly difficult for the kicker - to win the game???? It's just mystifying. Is a squib kick that risky? I don't think so.

Squib kick was the right move. You take 5 seconds off minimum. 13 down to 8. They win the game. Just unbelievable.

Short kick that they have to return would do the trick too, as long as your guys do their jobs.

Cant believe the NFL would let the Bills do that.

Come to think of it, with time being critical, if a special teams returner downs the ball short of the endzone following a kickoff, does the clock immediately stop or must he be touched? Regardless, the squib will still travel more than a few seconds. It is unfathomable. Remember when Shanahan wouldn't call a timeout right before the 1st half ended in SB 54? Remember Lynch motioning 'timeout, timeout'? Was the reason that he just didn't want to risk giving Mahomes the ball? I mean, I know we're armchairs and not coaches, but some decisions seem like WTF!!
