49ers are getting hosed by the refs...

[PCIntern]

I've never seen anything quite like it. It would be as if President Obama were before Darrell Issa's committee.

[one_voice]

1. Many bad calls. n/t

[zappaman]

2. Awful.

Inexcusable in a championship game.

[TDale313]

3. Abso-fuckin'- lutely!!!

[PCIntern]

5. As an Eagles fan even I'm appalled...

This usually happens to us.

[villager]

4. They really are

n/t

[tularetom]

6. The worst I've seen in quite awhile

[PCIntern]

10. They were touting the all-star crew...

All-star Fix is more like it.

[dhill926]

7. yep….

all-star ref crew…hmmmm….

[lostincalifornia]

8. The calls are bad and late

[1000words]

9. Harbaugh is going to have a seizure

[Sissyk]

11. I'm not anywhere near a SF fan

but this is ridiculous. It's worse than getting hosed.

[rufus dog]

12. Unbelievable

Truly shocking how bad the crew has performed.

Stop the Seahawks then drive for a winning TD and they will have beat the twelfth and thirteenth man.

[PCIntern]

14. Sorry for you...

Wow.

[mackerel]

13. Talk about it! :(

[ananda]

15. Twitterverse agrees.

They say the game looks rigged.

[dreamnightwind]

16. Agree

Looked that way to me from the second Seattle possession. I'm a niners fan but also pretty good about accounting for my bias.

[itsrobert]

17. As a Raider fan

The Whiners are getting screwed.

[PCIntern]

18. They almost missed the 4th and 2 play due to a Viagra ad..

They had put 1 sec back on the clock...

[OnlinePoker]

52. On the Canadian network, they did.

I don't know if you know it or not, but U.S. sports that are broadcast in Canada, even if we watch on a U.S. network, have the Canadian network (in this case, CTV) take over the U.S. network. We end up with the same crappy commercials over and over, or promos for network shows later in the evening or later in the week. That's what was on when they switched back to the 4th and 2 and we just got to see the tackle at the end.

[pintobean]

19. Go Seahawks.

[PCIntern]

20. Gonna be exciting...nt

[chknltl]

60. Yep, GO HAWKS!

I predicted prior to pre-season that the Broncos would face the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Everyone I said this too back then said "Yeah....maybe".

At the start of the playoffs I told anyone who wanted to talk football with me that it was going to be Denver and Seattle in NY and still most everyone said "Yeah maybe". (One guy was a Chiefs fan and predicted it would be KC vs sooooomeone...meh, maybe Seattle.&quot



New prediction" The Seahawks are gonna be showing off Super Bowl jewelry in 15 days. GO Hawks!

[JI7]

21. i work near the bars and clubs and can hear all the shouting and cheering

since i don't pay attention to sports i never know what is going on .

[aikoaiko]

22. Interception SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with 22 seconds.

[PCIntern]

23. Good game... Nt

[pintobean]

26. Sherman's an asshole.

[Duckhunter935]

28. Yep

Did you see that interview, jackass

[TDale313]

31. Yeah, that was pretty ugly

[CFLDem]

32. And awkward. Very awkward.

[JVS]

39. What did he say?

[one_voice]

43. here...

&sns=fb


poor Erin Andrew's she looked like wtf....

[Brother Buzz]

49. And, Joe, back over to you

Sherman couldn't spell clueless if he was spotted five consonants and three vowels

[TDale313]

51. Ok, that made me laugh :-)

[indie9197]

59. Stanford must be proud of their Communications major

He is the perfect advertisement for that $250k degree.

[Lucky Luciano]

53. should we get an betting pool started based on how long it takes for him...

...to be charged with some kind of felony?

[rufus dog]

67. Too damn funny, map over at ESPN regarding who will win the Super Bowl

State breakdown has Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire in the Seahawk camp. So the home territory, and the home of the Patriots. I am guessing Sherman's interview has made a huge negative impact.

If you think about it Defense wins championships and Seattle has the best Defense.

[one_voice]

79. Crabtree responds to Sherman...

I had Seattle's defense for my fantasy team. I made it to the end of the playoffs. I lost by one point...no fantasy super bowl for me.


ETA:

He also tweeted this...

77. WTF?

Sounds like a personal problem!

It was mostly incoherent but fully belligerent.

Seattle Seahawks defeat San Francisco 49ers 23-17

By CNN Staff - Sun January 19, 2014

(CNN) -- The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 Sunday in the NFC Championship Game at Seattle to advance to Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos.

Russell Wilson completed 16 of 25 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown to lead the Seahawks to the win.

The Seahawks are aiming for their first Super Bowl title. They reached the final game in 2005 but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Super Bowl will be played February 2 in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, site of the first outdoor cold-weather Super Bowl. Game time is 6:30 p.m. ET.

[tblue]

24. Yes. BOOOOO!!!!

[Vashta Nerada]

25. I hope Denver kills Seattle in the Superbowl.

[PCIntern]

27. Manning looks near-perfect...nt

[MFM008]

30. now now now

last time we faced Manning we intercepted him 5 times..... it will be good to see him again.

[Drahthaardogs]

33. Seatle plays loose, they are undisciplined

Superbowl is just the right atmosphere for young and cocky teams to fall apart. I would not count on five picks.

[chknltl]

62. It dawns on me....

Seattle took quite the bashing from San Fran's QB's rushing yards. If they had not figured out how to contain him better in the 2nd half that guy could have won the game with his legs.

Now don't get me wrong, I am in the camp of those who believe Peyton Manning to be one of the greatest QBs ever but... I think his legs may be a little too old to gain hundred plus yards rushing against the Seahawks. I predict the Hawks are going to win the Super Bowl.

[alp227]

63. That was Eli not Peyton n/t

[madinmaryland]

35. Thankfully, the Forty-Whiners fucking lost! Anyone but the Forty-Whiners.

[JVS]

37. Me too. Seahawk tears are delicious when they lose a superbowl.

[mackerel]

29. anyone has access to Twitter

check out SCAR_179 Tweet/pic of the day.

[madinmaryland]

34. I see the Forty Whiner fans have invaded GD. Even Cuptonboy4 has not complained

about the "non" calls.

mim shaked his head.

[JVS]

36. 13th man

[ffr]

57. bewildering for sure

The NFL needs to test the head referee to determine if they know how this game is officiated.

[Hawaii Hiker]

38. Yeah, 49ers got couple bad calls, but they turned it over 3x

in the 4th quarter, can't do that and expect to win....Oh well, it was a good season, 3rd straight trip to NFC Championship, just coming up short trying to win that 6th SB....

What a lousy Super Bowl as i hate both teams....Guess i'll slightly pull for Seattle, only because Coach Caroll was @USC during the mid 2000's...

[Zorra]

40. A denial, a denial, a denial

yay

[AgingAmerican]

42. Fourty Whiners

...true to form.

[Jesus Malverde]

44. Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco public safety radio traffic.

http://somafm.com/play/sf1033

[The Second Stone]

45. Terrible officiating

The roughing the kicker mis-call was the worst of the lot. The refs were as bad as any I've ever seen, including the scabs during the strike.

[MFM008]

70. in 2006

Seattle VS Pittsburgh, we lost the superbowl due to bad calls.

Usually bad calls happen to Seattle.

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. All this to distract from the true scandal: Tom Brady threw the AFC Championship

Never before in his life has he missed a single wide-ope receiver as badly as he missed at least six or seven today. Dude's in it with the book in Southie.



No dog in this fight, but if it were to come out that Brady threw the game, nobody who watched his performance today would be much surprised. His overthrows were comical.

[dreamnightwind]

47. It's a mile high

which makes overthrows that much easier. Saw about half of that game, and the question of Brady throwing it did enter my mind, probably the thin air is a better explanation, and sometimes players have off games. Manning was outstanding. I was for New England, sorry to see them lose.

[Egalitarian Thug]

73. And his corruption blew the over!

Thankfully, I saw that 55 and took the under. Double AFC win today!

[icymist]

48. Hello Whiners!

[pnwmom]

50. Poor babies. n/t

[Tree-Hugger]

54. 49ers were hosed all right

By the Seahawks.

*boom*

I was rooting for the Seahawks because they beat the Saints. I hate the Saints. And I am *pissed* that they beat the Eagles a few weeks ago.

Brady losing was also sweet justice.

[d_b]

55. I almost felt sorry for them

then I remembered how much I hate their whiny fucking coach

[ffr]

56. NFL refs setting tone.

They did it to 'em on the last year's superbowl as well.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-gameday/0ap2000000135753/Were-the-49ers-robbed-on-fourth-down

WTH, NFL! The referees can deviate from the rulebook whenever they please? Hey, let's make one team work twice as hard. Call after call after call.

Too much for any team to overcome. 49ers forced into desperation and they cracked. Congrats to the 13th man. Seahawk 12th man not a factor.

[mackerel]

58. 49ers been my team most of my life

But I'll support Seattle in the superbowl. # West Coast

[shanti]

64. Yes

+1

[Egalitarian Thug]

72. Both Teams are west and Seattle has never bee able to compete with Denver.

That's why they moved them, twice. Better luck next year.

[lib87]

61. Manning to Get His Second SB Ring

Too bad Seahawks will be runners up in 2 weeks.

[HangOnKids]

68. Welcome to DU

I'm sure you will enjoy it here.

69. For the whiners who feel that they have been wronged:

Just fill out this form and fax it to 1 800 Wha BOOM.

[PCIntern]

74. Love the form! Printed it for the office...

Thanks!

[indie9197]

71. That play where the 49er defensive player stole the ball

when Seattle was less than a yard from scoring a TD was one of the all time great plays in the history of the game. Too bad the refs didnt see it. Too bad he got hurt for nothing.

[lumberjack_jeff]

81. That was the only bad call I saw.

It didn't matter though because if they had called it right SF would have taken over on the 1 yd line. As it was they took over on the 5.

That Lynch fumble was instant karma.

I hope the 49er player is able to return next year, but I suspect he won't.

[Skidmore]

75. I can't tell you how much I loathe

Super Bowl season...and football. I will be so happy to see the end of this exploitive circus.

[beachbum bob]

76. too bad the 49'ers were on the wrong side of so many

questionable calls and plays. Unlike the Denver-NE game, where the best team clearly won the game. I can't really say that with the 49-Seatle game.

either way, the superbowl will be a a great game if you don't consider its being played in outdoor stadium in New Jersey...wtf its going to be cold sitting in those $1000 seats.

[PCIntern]

78. Schmegoo on Morning Joe said there were $800,000 accomodations

at the "Big Game".

Dontcha love the way the NFL won't allow any advertisers to use the term 'Super Bowl' unless it's licensed? We have all these ads here talking about buying food for The Big Game. Funny...

[nilesobek]

80. Seahawks are going to put old man Manning on the ground

He better get ready to taste meadowlands turf.

Noticed that the Patriots could not sack Manning. The Seahawks will. Old man on ground!

[GeorgeGist]

82. Thankfully, Papa John's gonna get hosed by the Seahawks.
