Anyone else notice this?

It seemed to me that there were a few pretty obvious penalties that weren't called for the Niners. Not that it would have made a difference since the offense couldn't score on a Division II team, but it seemed like the refs were just blowing some pretty obvious calls (I thought the tackle on Walker was pretty obviously a horse collar).

I also have seen so many damn holding penalties on Justin Smith that aren't called. All year.

I saw one on Sunday live where the lineman pulls him down on top of him and it didn't get called.

Like WTF!

Bad teams get bad calls (non-calls and phantom calls)

you can probably blame Singletary for that. It constant screaming at the refs in the beginning of the season probably gave refs the mentality "scream at me a*****e, let's see how you like me playing for the other team"

I see it all the time, for ever team in the NFL, not just us. The onlly reason we notice it more is b/c its our team and we look for extra excuses why we suck, but when u realy realy think about it WE JUST SUCK . yea the HC, OC, DC, all have alot to do with it, but the players are playing like staight up s**t to 99% of the time

Some ref units are more stingy with calls than others. I wouldn't read much into it.

Ya it's been happening all year. I think we can take it as a sign that we're cosmically (or is comically) cursed. Sh*t like this happens to bad teams with coaches who run out onto the field to get all up in the officials grills while yelling obscenities at them on a weekly basis. You make your own "luck" and ours is sh*tty

but I'm sure this all goes right over our HC's head. Here's a few that even Simpletary can understand: you reap what you sow. What goes around, comes around. Stay on the sideline holding your enormous cross, and shut up you f**king dunce.
