Niners lead the league in 4 Categories by an average roughly 1 penalty
They are the fewest in 6 categories
Yup, Refs are just picking on the poor Niners
Every season someone has to be the leader in penalties. Last Season it was the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks, we were called cheaters and any reason we brought about why the calls were bogus were shrugged off. We won it all despite the monkier.
All of a sudden the Niners are the Thugs and Undisciplined cheats. You know all that illegal holding the HAwks are known for?

Time to adapt or die, your Coach had better learn to be a Marine if he wishes to yell like one.
