This officiating isn't even close to how the refs used to cheat for the 49ers back in the day. That was egregious. Disgusting. Obvious. And cheesy.

This patriots game could easily be explained by incompetence. Not that niners stuff.

This was meh. We easily should have still won. In the niners days, the refs weren't letting you win, no matter what.

I've said it once and I'll say it one last time. Incompetence doesn't fit here. If it really were incompetence, there would be bad calls both ways. There wasn't, so it doesn't apply here.

You know, I lived and breathed those days, and yeah, the 9ers got plenty of friendly officiating, but it wasn't nearly as many bad calls in any one game as I saw here.

FWIW, the 9ers cheated far more than the refs did back in that day.

But yeah, I sorta agree.
