And then there were the idiot Niners coaches who didn’t bother to challenge the early catch on 4th down.
Even if you think there is a 1% that the call is overturned, you challenge that play, immediately.
Yeah, that one is a head scratcher. It set up the demise.
The injuries were costly, but the penalties were inexcusable.
SF did not have access to the bit of film that would have shown the blown call until after—way after the play and next snap. It would have made a difference....Frankly, there was a ref on the other side of the field with direct eye contact of the catch and failed to call it...
But all that is water under the bridge after Purdy’s injury limiting him to just running plays. THe 4th string quarterback—Johnson, looked ill prepared to be in the game and one has to hand it to him for giving it his best despite being literally flattened by the Eagles.
Its Sports Ball—whatever...
