It was his first major challenge situation in a big game. He will learn.

Inexcusable for any coach at college level. Why do we pay the muppets in the upstairs booth if they can’t even get that right? The play just looked funny from first look. I was floored they didn’t challenge. Huge game. Huge play. Huge call. It’s not water under the bridge, it just makes me feel that I could coach at that level and I never played the game. It’s not that hard. Draw up some plays. Understand the rules, feel the game and execute. Unlike what Billick said- we think we know but we don’t…blah blah blah..We friggin know. Trust me. Rexx, you and I have hold season tickets since ‘96. I am not being ridiculous when I say they we could literally have called better games from our couch the past 10 years. How many tv announcers, usually ex-players, couldn’t believe Billick’s play calling and clock management. These coaches over-think the game, bury their heads in a play card and lose the feel for the game. It was a slap in the face to the other backs that a twice injured Mcgahee should get another half ass carry making it 2nd and long at a crucial time. It was goofy how we had a defensive lineman, Ngata, cover their running back on a crucial play. We got lucky with a pick earlier but you can’t tell me a defensive lineman can stay with a running back on an obvious pass play. I like the fact that we blitzed our asses off but the fly by attempted arm tackles are fruitless on Ben. We may as well stay in a zone D with moderate pressure if we have to leave running backs covered my Ngata. He’s not Adalius in that regard. I’m not upset anymore about Monday just plain mad. We will use the loss as motivation to beat them down the road. I am looking forward to leveling a finesse Titan’s team. I can’t wait to get this taste out of my mouth. Driving arrrangements for tailgate are already bein made. It’s supposed to be sunny and 70. Great ass kicking weather.

Replays (or lack of them) go along with home-field advantage. If that play had been made in Baltimore, we would have challenged the ruling and gotten the touchdown. Then again, if the game had been played in Baltimore it would have been a different game entirely. I’m sure we would have won

You ALWAYS throw the flag on close plays in the end zone. If the call was good, you can be sure that Tomlin would have thrown the red flag. If that’s true, then I rest my case. Guilty!

Case closed,..that is, until next time.

Any coach(let only a rookie coach) may not have thrown the flag. When you 1st look at it, it didnt look like mason had it. When you look at replay, you can tell that he had posseion of the ball and both feet in. If mason thought he had it, he should have been in Harbaugh’s ear letting him know to challenge it. Also, the guys in the box should of benn right on that one and told john to throw the flag. I believe he will learn form this and challenge more close close throughout the season.

It was a total team brain fart. Still pissed, and I guess it doesn’t matter to me whose fault, just sorry we missed a great opportunity to perhaps put that game away, even with our mistakes.
