And hey if it turns out to be enough to keep you guys from the post season....OH EFFIN WELL!!!!! LMAO
Take a seat Karen :rumble: :49ersmall: :rumble:
Hollister initiated contact within those 5 yards, completely different.
Similar defensive contact when Bowman knocked down a Matt Ryan pass to send the Niners to the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks have the Niners number mentally but also on the officiating end as well, since this rivalry started in 2012.
You're not going to want to go down that road.
It's parity only in the sense that everyone has a chance to become Tony Montana right up until the point he gets the 12 gauge from behind right between the shoulder blades. To win it all is now TOUGHER than it used to be.
In the old days, you had to luck out to become a great team. If you were Tampa in the '90s you were just gonna be garbage and nothing could be done about it.
Now the NFL will let you rebuild your team in 2-4 years and participate in the final 12 (now 14), but how far you go is dependent on how trendy your team is at the moment. This stuff also is felt in the regular season as well, but more so in the postseason IMO.
In the old days, the very best teams often won it all. If you were fortunate to construct them that well, you would only have to worry about beating the opponent and not them plus the refs. Can't blame the refs for losing to the Giants, Cowboys, Packers in the '80s and '90s.
I only remember *1* call from the late 80s to early '00s Niner dynasty football going against them that I wasn't sure was correct.........it was in the '92 NFC Championship Game, holding called on SF that negated an early bomb TD to Jerry Rice.
It seemed to be the correct call, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I can't recall anything else really that was egregious over so many years, and yet the last decade alone I can count many calls for many teams not named SF.
