Refs definitely had a role in this one

The refs just need to stop with the ticky tacky stuff and let them play. Call obvious stuff sure. I know its easier said then done.

Seemed like a "call" was made to make the game more competitive. I'm not sure that happens... but it does seem like it.

That is exactly what it felt like.

the ref in last night's game was Adrian Hill. he has a reputation.

They need to either call all the s**t or don't call it and let them play. It's BS when all game they can play a certain way and then in the 4th quarter they start getting picky. I guess i'm more old school, if you come across the middle expect to get your head taken off.

Co-signed. Was thinking that very thing watching. The offense definitely sputtered after Evans left, but Commies had a drive where the refs gifted them nearly EVERY 1st down.

The refs should have flagged more in the game last night. The execution was bad from both teams. And as far as the "ticky-tack" flag on Davis goes, it probably wouldn't have mattered because Green was assaulting his guy on the same play.

We got away with multiple helmet to helmet hits. While I agree, a couple of the drive extending penalties we were called for were VERY ticky tack calls, I dont really agree that the refs were any sort of measurable factor in this game.

I'm glad somebody made a thread out of this. Absolutely horrible call on the pi and the non-call on key on white getting mugged. Really disgraceful. The refs can't be so obvious they're managing for audience like that.

In my opinion this is a consequence of ubiquitous sports betting. Let's get rid of it and have the teams compete like they used to. Without worrying about whose money is put where

This is where there problem lies, we can't havie games ruled like this to cover spreads. I hope owners PA look at this and investigate. At least have checks to see if gambling is the cause. if/when this is the cause remover their gambling license from the NFL. It will ruin the game.

This conspiracy theory might be dumber than the substation. I'm begging some of you to learn what the purpose of a spread is and also to understand just how many different bets are made across any single NFL game at multiple sportsbooks.

Only emotional people think the refs have it out for them

Or that Vegas (as if it was a single entity) needs assistance from the NFL to make money on sports bets, lol.

78% of bets and 86% of dollars on last night's game were on the 49ers -7.5. Vegas raked it in last night.

The fact that people think information like this is either legitimate, comprehensive, or meaningful in any way is crazy.

They don't publish this information. This is usually posted by betting apps, or when one person who runs/works at a single sportsbook (one of many) gives insight into the action they've seen personally.

And again, that's not factoring there are hundreds to even thousands of other bets that could even out a casino's leverage.

A person who makes bets using this kind of information is an absolute sucker.

Lol. Just dumb as hell.
