The 49ers are finding out that when the referees call all the penalities on the defense, it suddenly gets much harder.
Give them credit. Rough to play a playoff game without a QB.
But Im not sure that they would have had a chance, they have been getting away with a lot of grabbing and holding WRs
(I know the irony, we did it with the LOB too, the difference being the LOB made teams fear or want to fight them...forgetting their job on offense. The 49ers aren't physical enough to inspire that, but they are physical enough they will draw the flags away from their home stadium)
Again, credit for continuing to fight against near-impossible odds (rookie QB, no QB, etc). But they are screwed because they can't play the game without prolonging opposing drives with flags. Those were going to turn into opposing TDs and, sure enough, they have.
