Yeah, I think we're actually a really good team this year. After the past three years, there's no reason to believe that we aren't. Hue Jackson has been a monster in calling plays. Excellent game plans. Looking at the stats yesterday, it looks like we shouldn't have even won. Titans had more yards per carry, more total yards, and ran more plays. They just had what used to be the classic Bengals mistakes - turnovers, penalties within their own end zone resulting in a safety, lost their composure. Dalton didn't have to do much besides hand the ball off.
The stretch of NE, Indy, Carolina and Baltimore after the bye week will be very telling. If we get through that stretch with only one loss, a lot of blood will be rushing to my penis.

Rewatch the play then because the flag is thrown before Brees hit the ground.
As a saints fan I thought initially the call was kind of bs because it did look like a flag wasn't thrown until Brees' got up angry. With the way he reacted I thought the defender got a nut shot in or a finger to his eye or something so I was surprised at the call at first. But after seeing the replay, you can see where/when the official throws the flag and it was a good call, if you're calling the game as per today's nfl standards.

The problem isn't one team getting screwed and another team not. The problem is the amount of wrong calls, and the huge impact they have on the results of a game, are making the game tough to watch.

Colts had those two terrible calls late in the 4th quarter screw them out of a win against the Eagles last week. The Jets OC being granted a timeout negating a TD against the Packers. The Seahawk getting away with an obvious encroachment late against the Broncos.
The point is believing the 49ers are somehow special and the only team that deals with bad calls is why people don't like 49er fans

Point to a poster here who said it is only the 49ers who are dealing with it.
Edit: I could be wrong, but reading back through the numerous posts as the games are going on seems to be a lot of complaining about penalties in general. We just happened to be responding to a post that had a story of Boldin putting it on the refs.
Our defense sucks. Look how high scoring all the games are
Which honestly might not be that damning in the current state of the NFL. Even with an amazing defense, the way the new rules are you can still not live up to it's full potential due to the penalties

Murray giving up a fumble for a TD on his first carry didn't help, but it was a legit loss that can be blamed on Romo

Refs missing plays and bad calls has been a league wide problem, they need to get their shit fixed. I can link at least 10 more off the top of my head for other teams and could find more if I actually decided to dedicate time to finding them.

Yeah, I would stop playing Gore all together if I was you. I think they are going to start using Hyde more and more near the goal line anyways

They need to do what Belichick said and just be able to challenge everything that's not a judgement call. You still only get 2 challenges per half so I don't really see much of a downside

One of the defenders did an illegal leg whip on Murray before the fumble. Hard to tell on the live view, but it's pretty clear on the replays later on in the video

I'm not sure either but if I had to guess I would say it's because Jonathan Martin blows ass. The O-line has been shit all year and the only reason that we have any offense at all is because Kaep can run the ball and complete passes with a couple linebackers chasing him around in the backfield.
