SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS vs ATLANTA FALCONS - 2019 Game 14

He makes this sack it's game over

Ugh. As far as I'm concerned, this game never happened.

Hopefully in two weeks as we're in a middle of a bye week it won't actually matter.

Need to win 2 in a row here to make it so.

Once the Rams game has come and gone - it will be forgotten.

Best attitude to take. Nothing you can do about it so don't let it eat you up. Am sure hawk fans are still upset at not doing the obvious vs Patriots. Heck I imagine Lynch still thinks about after smoking a joint

I know we are dominantly a zone defense but at the goal line we should play man press coverage.

I'm not too sure about that. Those players are already in possession. Julio doesn't get possession until 2 feet hit the ground and at that time he isn't in the end zone. IDK, I could be wrong but that's my interpretation of the rule.

You are wrong , as soon as the ball crosses the GL nothing else matters

So an incomplete pass that goes through the endzone is a touchdown? Since when?

When you're the better team, there's no excuses. See our previous Superbowl loss. We can come up with every tiny single excuse but in the end, at home, in December, you beat inferior teams IF you want to be a contender. You learn how to close out those games. There's no excuse FOR THIS ONE.

Trap games happen all the time. I think you are way overthinking this loss to the Falcons. Our past super bowl winning teams would lay an egg a game a season and get blown out. At least this game came down to the last second. We didn't show up and played with no urgency coming off that huge Saints W. It took a last second TD from a team playing like it was their super bowl to barely win this game by 1. Oh, and the ball was inches away from not crossing the line and it being a Niner victory. I am not concerned about this Niner team at all.

Bingo. So why do we need to make excuses? They just didn't have a good game all around. They certainly were the better team and they played down and got burned. Simple. No excuses. And any player and coach will tell you that. They wanted to keep playing because they know they dropped the ball...literally. It happens. But the contenders win those games even on a down day and that's concerning.

We have won those games. See the Steelers game. See the 2nd Cardinals game. It's not an excuse. These things happen, but are they signs of a real trend? If what I bolded were true all the time about the contenders, there would be nothing special about the 1972 Dolphins because teams would go undefeated all the time.

Lol people always come up with weird analysis. "Contenders don't lose these games!" Patriots lose like every year to the dolphins, niners lost against junker teams in most of their SBs, etc. It's just lazy, nonsensical analysis.

But, I guess you have to talk about something?

He caught the ball and it crossed the goal line. That's a TD every time, what's the problem here ?. Defense shouldn't have even allowed an opportunity like that.

Read the post I was replying to. He said the ball crossing the plane is important, NOTHING else matters. Wrong. Possession matters. It's actually pretty important.

Everyone was watching to see if the ball broke the plane - period. And it did, yes. But at the point it broke the plane, possession had not been clearly established. The ball was moving, not tucked, etc. When possession was achieved, the ball was OUTSIDE of the endzone. So not a touchdown.

It was close. And if it had been ruled a touchdown to start with, I could see it being not enough to overturn. But it was not, so there should also not been enough to overturn, and the call should have stood.

This was exactly my point. He didn't technically have possession until he was outside the goal line.

The guy replying to me doesn't seem to understand that. I still believe it shouldn't have been reversed.

Doesn't matter now. We lost and have to win @Seattle one way or another.

Might as well be next week.
