Cardinals 29 - 49ers 24: I'm speechless

Why am I speechless?

How about a combined 20 penalties, 164 yards.  The referees were a joke tonight.

How about the play-caling to end the game.  Knowing you've got one play left and you have to pick between Frank Gore and ANYBODY ELSE.  And you go with anybody else.

How about the 49ers finding a new way to kick me in the junk.

I'm just speechless.

I’m really glad to see Jason Hill get more chances…Zeigler had a great grab, Morgan had some big catches…Good to see Rachal get a chance.

At least we'll get a better draft pick...

Not a great way to lose but atleast it was entertaining until he end. I’m surprised they didn’t call aface mask on the last play. The dude had robinsons mask, it was obviously after he was stopped but with the amount of penaties they called I would not have been shocked.

and not just standing around watching the game come to them. Yeah, lots of penalties and some questionable play calling. But there is a shred of hope. They are playing better.

by bondslegend on Nov 10, 2008 9:31 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

not that this was the only reason they lost but...

1) no PI call when bruce gets tackled in the endzone
2) BS unsportsmanlike when vlade divac subs in on ARI O
3) call PI, say there’s no PI because of tip, coach challenges tip, play not challengeable because the ACTUAL reason for no PI, although we didn’t say it at the time, was tangled feet
4) call pick play as offensive PI on 49ers, do not call pick play as offensive PI a few plays later when breaston blocks before ball is in the air
5) umpire tackles gore on one play, then knocks down pass on another
6) ref resets clock to :04 because of challenge even though the previou play ended at :11, then signals that it’s 4th down even though it’s actually 3rd down, so 49ers can’t spike it

i’m sure i’m missing some, but, the refs were absolutely fucking horrible in this game, and the game-changing BS referee interventions were all against the 49ers

by Florida Danny on Nov 10, 2008 9:34 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

and

not calling intentional grounding on warner when he supposedly threw it to hightower, who was 7 yards away from the ball running in the other direction…sure they still would have had a chance at a FG, but it still reeks of crappy refereeing.

don't forget

the completely blown challenge, where Hill clearly had both feet in bounds and control of the ball, but since he dropped it after hitting the ground he “never had full possession”

by Viliphied on Nov 11, 2008 10:39 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Who are you blaming on that?

Singletary for challenging or the refs? By rule it was an incomplete pass.

by methodrampage on Nov 11, 2008 1:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

well...

the refs didn’t call it a catch on the review because, as they explained, Hill “lost control before hitting the ground” – which, if you watch the replay, was bullshit. Contact with the ground is what caused the ball to pop loose, well after he got both feet in and went down.

by shlecko on Nov 11, 2008 7:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That's the rule

A WR has to maintain control of the ball when he hits the ground.

by methodrampage on Nov 12, 2008 8:44 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

hitting the ground

One thing I’m curious about though is the whole idea that the ground can’t cause a fumble. I’ve never quite clarified that rule in my own head. Any idea how that compares with making the reception and losing it when you hit the ground?

Niners Nation - The premier 49ers blog on the Internet!

by Fooch on Nov 12, 2008 9:34 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

It's a cop-out

It’s an easy call to say that a WR never had possession when the ball squirts out upon him hitting the ground. But a receiver also has to make a “football move” to demonstrate possession. Does falling to the ground constitute a “football move”? Does maintaining control of the ball upon hitting the ground after you fell constitute a “football move”? Beats me, “football move” is one hell of an ambiguous term and frankly the ambiguity of the term helps the NFL Rules Committee cover their ass.

And generally speaking, the ground can’t cause a fumble because the player is already down, which makes sense. When you contact the ground with anything, less your feet or hands, you’re down (so like, maybe you’re down by contact a split second before the ball comes out).

From thinking this trough I’ve kind of confused myself as your typical ground can’t cause a fumble scenario involves a player being down by contact. But what if the player falls to the ground after making a “football move” and without being contacted by a defensive player and loses the ball. Is the ball live or is it dead at the spot where the player fell?

by methodrampage on Nov 12, 2008 10:19 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

hitting the ground

And in the case of Hill, he actually hit the ground with his knee, THEN his elbow hit the ground, THEN the ball came out. I double-checked it last night and that’s what happened. Unless they felt he never had full possession before then but I don’t think they did.

Niners Nation - The premier 49ers blog on the Internet!

by Fooch on Nov 12, 2008 10:38 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

But did he make a "football move"?

Whatever that means, but I’m guessing that the NFL does not recognize dragging your toes as your falling out of bounds as a “football move”.

by methodrampage on Nov 12, 2008 12:50 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

football move

That makes sense. Oh well, what are you gonna do. It would’ve been a fantastic catch.

Great games Niners Nation

Both of them were pretty spectacular. I figured this one was lost as that’s what the Cardinals historically have done in close ones. Strange end to the game, pretty ugly on multiple fronts.

Shaun Hill looked good. I hope he develops and can shine for the remainder of the season.

Ugh.

Hill screaming and yelling at the guys, directing them himself to get them lined up for that twenty second spike. Give me a break. That’s insulting that it falls on him to make sure these “pros” know how to line up for a spike.

Also, wtf at the ref playing defense for the Cardinals and getting all over Gore twice?

And why why why.. I love Robinson, he’s an awesome, all-around good football player but not the guy to go to there.

It was third down at the end, right? They should’ve spiked it so they could actually get some playcalling in. All that Shaun could concentrate on was when to start the play, I doubt he even knew who he was handing off to. Robinson was probably surprised he had the ball.

I'm not speechless

The reason the 49ers lost this game is simple: PISS POOR COACHING!

Penalties, clock management and playcalling all fall onto the coaches. Yes, the team played hard, and that awful Shuan Hill shovel “pass” isn’t their fault, but WHY THE FUCK ARE WE RUNNING THE BALL WITH NO TIMEOUTS AND THE CLOCK WINDING DOWN??? I know I don’t know as much about football as Martz and Singletary, but even I knew that running the ball there was doomed to failure. Even after the first run, why run it right up the middle against a stacked line? That just doesn’t make sense. And if I knew that ahead of time, why the fuck didn’t Martz or Singletary???

I’m sick of this fucking team. They are a bunch of idiots.

Whatever. You don’t throw two picks in the fourth, or maybe you execute and get a snap off before 35 seconds have run off the clock, or maybe you run a bootleg or take DeShaun Foster off tackle on the last play of the game, or maybe you play a little bump and run in the red zone, or maybe you don’t commit the obvious penalties that the refs did call correctly….

Any single one of those things happens and we probably win this game without much trouble. The refs were awful, but I have a hard time complaining about them when the teams were worse.

But I think that was the first time I’ve ever seen a team ran an entire sub package onto the field just to spike the ball. Why they didn’t just spike the ball with the unit they had already on the field, and then sub in their goal line package is beyond me.

What did we learn?...

Singletary got these guys ready to play and compete

We still need help on the offensive line

We could have won if we didn’t turn the ball over

What has changed? NOTHING. I knew it before we fired Nolan. This team doesn’t need a new coach. We just need a quarterback that won’t turn the ball over. And 2 O-linemen and 1 D-lineman will help too. Turnovers have been the direct cause of all of our losses this year. If we expect to win a game then we have to fix the turnover issue.

The following portion of this comment was written before I read the rest of your comment… whoops….

Seriously, the team played badly. Shaun Hill was better than JTO if you squint. The defense was soft, the discipline was almost non-existent, and the time-management was as bad as ever. The only reason we were in this game is that the cardinals blew every oppotunity that they had to start running away from it by committing a crippling penalty.

The only thing that I take from this that’s even remotely positive is that Singletary appears (for whatever that’s worth) to be commanding some small shreds of sanity out of Mike Martz.

Maybe that’s harsh. They played pretty well in the first half. The second half was so god-awful, though.

The following portion of this comment was written after I read the rest of your comment…

Oh, we’re more or less on the same page then… whoops…. It appears that the key problem with this team is, in fact, simply that the players are not very good.

OK you little whiners

AZ was the better team going in, and they actually gave this game to the niners with stupid penalties, and a bad prevent defense. Niners just refused to take it.

It was very sloppy on both sides, and they refs called 20 freakin’ penalties… every single call I saw on TV they got correct. Some of the stuff was ticky-tack, but on both sides (and there’s always some ticky-tack). And you are complaining that they didn’t CALL ENOUGH PENALTIES?

Shawn Hill MUST play mistake free, ‘cause he sure as hell ain’t a playmaker (although the cards forgetting to cover the other HIll in the last minute was pretty spectacular)

Here's something that was overlooked

for the first time in 3 years, we didn’t get blown out following a bye week during a road game. A plus!

A plus? More like C minus!

I was entertained. And they played hard.

My exact sentiments

Right now I’m just rooting for close, entertaining games that the Niners lose.
