You think the NFL refs want the Niners to win the game?  I'm all for thinking refs suck at their jobs but this is a bridge too far for me.
Fumble that was called down but not reviewable because of forward progress ruling after the fact. PF call on the punt that was ridiculously ticky tacky. Maybe they don't want SF to win but you can't tell me the game is being evenly called

Focused how?  Should he focus on the DB not making a nice play?  Should he throw to another receiver? Should he not throw to Crabtree in the red zone?
No, he shouldn't underthrow it in that situation. Put it where only Crabtree would have a play on it.

Triplettes call was way worse. Just overruled a tackle for literall no reason with the benefit on replay
 
The call today was terrible.  It was also more defensible (well, less indefensible) and VASTLY less impactful than the call in the Pats/Panthers game.  There is simply no comparison in impact between the calls.

The blatantly missed PI call against Crabs on the Seattle 15 or 20 was a pretty huge non-call.

I don't think focus has anything to do with that. It wasn't a great pass but the DB did make a real nice play on the ball. If anything Crabtree needs to knock it down.

Today's call was obviously less impactful,but waaaaayyyy less defensible.

To my eyes, watching full-speed replay of today's it's not 100% clear to me whether the nose tackle touched him or not---watching the Gronk play it is absolutely 100% clear that he was blatantly interfered with even at full speed.  But to each their own---debating the relative atrociousness of NFL refereeing is kind of a low value debate, in the end...they are bad, far too often, and in far too many ways.

It's the slow mo replay overturn that makes it so indefensible.

There's outkicking your coverage, and then there's *really* outkicking your coverage. That was very poorly executed.

But they reversed the call and you needed indisputable evidence to reverse it. But it wasn't indisputable. And if you really had to make a guess, the guess was that the nose tackle did get a hand on his ankle. It was a horrible reversal, basically ignoring the rules of the replay system.

RUNNING UP THE SCOAR
 
EDIT - I love the Denver fans booing an injured Titan, as if Denver is looking to run a hurry-up offense up 16 with 5 min. left.

Okay, is that image of Peyton soaking his ankle, wearing a helmet and watching film, real?
 
If so, that might be the douchiest thing I have seen in my entire life.  And I see my own face in the mirror every morning.

I hope Harbaugh realizes that Seattle will have plenty of time almost regardless of what he does. This is confusing.

Ok scratch that. I still find this odd, they aren't going to run it in from the 9 against this defense. About 60 seconds for Seattle to get in FG range for the win if it plays out?

Not really. Seattle needed to let them score on that play. Now, I expect Harbaugh to run the clock down to 0:40 or so.

Makes me appreciate it when the QB for the team that I root for doesn't burn timeouts midway through the third quarter.

Seattle is going to have approximately 30 seconds.
But will likely only need a FG to win on a day with no wind from the looks of it. It's a gamble either way I guess, I'd trust the defense more than Kap throwing. Smart move by Harbaugh.

Well that was a terrible decision by Wilson.
probably hoping for a pass interference.  otherwise no way to stop clock so even a catch by the Seahawks would have ended game

Seattle should have carried the RB into the endzone on one of those runs.

How so? He damn near lucked into a DPI call.
 
Threw it in middle of field into triple coverage, and to a receiver who was coming back to the ball (not someone breaking behind defense). Basically only scenario that works is a DPI.   You had a little time (obviously not much) on that 'drive' far better to run two 15 yard sideline plays and throw to the end zone.  Even if he catches it you lose.  Odds are that is intercepted or incomplete and you've wasted additional time.  Better to throw to that receiver early (while he's still breaking towards end zone) or throw away, I think.  And a better play is deep early or sideline.
 
While DPI is always possible, it's least likely when three guys are on a guy coming back to the play---because they have an equal right to the ball.  If that throw was 'creating a chance of DPI' then literally every long throw is a good idea for that reason.

I have absolutely no dog in this fight tonight.  But I would love to see the Saints blow Carolina off the field.  
 
Me too.   I really hate Carolina after that Pats game----other than Cowboys and Mannings I'd root for most anyone against them.  Well, and the Jets.

Have you watched some of the calls this year?  The officials have been pitiful.  Triplette should end up like Old Yeller.

Only about four blocks in the back on that pint return which leads to a facemask by the kicker.

I like to picture Gerry sitting in a rocking chair somewhere, telling the glass of iced tea on the table next to him that Kuechly didn't interfere with Gronk.

Nice job, asshat
I like how the idea that we play the game by one set of rules in the regular season then change them all for the more important playoff games is a OK
