Look, there are some key things.
Refs didnt review Ursuas catch (shouldnt called it a TD and reviewed it) because that's what they're supposed to do now right? Call it a TD and review it, change it if it wasnt. If the ref thought it was on the 1/2 inch line, obviously it was super close. I thought he caught and had possession over the plane. But they should've reviewed it.
Give the injury timeout for Fant after 4th down conversion. That was complete BS.
Yes it was our fault for delay of game, inexcusable.. however if the refs wouldve done EITHER of the 2 I mentioned, wouldve never even happened to begin with. And both of those 2 calls above wouldve won us the game EVEN IF it was ruled against us and a 10 sec runoff because of the timeout it gives us and gives us more time to call a play and substitutions.
Then the PI on-call. Even if they reviewed it wouldve been somewhat acceptable. But nope.
So what this tells me is the NFL Officials knew we didnt have a timeout and refused to give us a call to stop the clock. That is definitely one of the reasons. But more importantly, I truly believe that the nfl and officials didnt want to have the 49rs as the 5th seed. They are trying to setup 49rs for the best possible outcome pre-playoffs. Seahawks are a team I'm the NW and therefore isnt as "viewer friendly" as a 49rs team. If this was the other way around, the 49rs wouldve gotten those calls mentioned above. Guarenteed!
Now with all fairness, even being screwed by the refs.. PETE AND SHOTTY is also to blame for the loss. How do you screw up that opportunity. Completely choked. Wouldn't be surprised if Pete and Shotty lost the locker room AGAIN after this. In a championship game so it stings just as hard as the SB game. And Pete had to get rid of players to get the locker room back too, and he repeated a very similar mistake again in a huge game.
