Re: FFFC
GO SEAHAWKS! No bandwagon needed
My twins Benjamin and Olivia
Second confession: I may or may not have bought a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and took the time to specially eat only the cookie dough out of it. Sorryimnotsorry.

Then I feel shallow for even caring.

I'm sure there are "real fans" that actually know the history of their team. Most have no idea who anybody of relevance is that even played for them.
I asked "fans" if they knew who The Boz was, and all I heard were crickets! Lol.
Guess what... I don't care!
Ummm there were several key calls (and shit ton of holding calls that should have been called against Sherman that weren't) that FOR SURE swayed the direction of the game in favor of the Seahawks and that's fact. I can go into detail if you'd like. I know football VERY well.
I'm very real about admitting when my team sucks, when they played like shit, and know when the refs blatenly fuck up, which they royally fucked up in this game.
I can take a loss when its deserved, but this one was not deserved by any means.
Just don't forget

ETA here is a good YouTube video that breaks down a lot of what I am talking about when I say the officiating was bullshit and certainly swayed the game in favor of Seattle.
Without all the help from the "refs" I doubt Seattle would have won. Period. And yes its somewhat biased but there was a lot more to show regarding fuckups from the refs against the Niners then there was against Seattle.
Oh yes, the consipracy video- I've seen it, and I don't think it's accurate to call it "good" analysis. Bleacher Report debunked it; hell, even the CSN Bay Area "49ers Insider" Matt Maiocco calls BS on that video. Look- I'm not arguing that there were some terrible calls in the game that went against the 49ers. There were, however, other calls (and lack of calls, ie Jeremy Lane getting clotheslined intentionally by someone on the 49ers sideline) that went against the Hawks. More important and relevant, though, is the damage the 49ers did to themselves during the game. For example: the personal fowl on Tate that gave the Hawks a first down and half-the-distance to goal; the offsides penalty which essentially gave the Hawks a free try for the touchdown pass to Kearse on 4th and 7; Kaep's poor decision to pass over Chancellor (which he intercepted, and the Hawks capitalized with a f/g, putting us up by 5), and finally another poor decision by Kaep (or more fairly the offensive coord.) to test Sherm on a first down and game deciding situation. All in all both teams played a great game- Kaep had an amazing running game, the defenses both played lights out. In my opinion and many others' it was "a classic game for the ages," which either team could have won, but in the end, the Seahawks were able to capitalize on the 49ers'mistakes.
When you claim that it all came down to officiating you're really selling both teams short and cheapening the brilliant way they both played. They are easily the best two teams in the NFL and both deserve recognition as such. Also, they've gotten that good through playing each other (as well as the rest of the NFC west, the toughest division in football!). Finally: yes, the Niners have 5 Lombardis, but they got their last one 20 YEARS AGO. Time to move on and better luck next year.

There is some blatant shit in that video and that I personally recall that clearly happened.
I do not negate the fact that there were missed calls on both sides. But explain to me how Russell Wilson does not get a penalty for grounding when he was outside the pocket and threw the ball to NOBODY! explain how a clear touchdown gets reversed? Explain how Lynch gets a first down without even making it to damn line?! Your really going to tell me those calls/lack of calls were legit?!?!?!? Da fauq!!!!!!????? There are oh so may other things and believe you me I rewatched the damn game and while I give it to Seattle for having a great defense, they did NOT play better then the NINERS. The help they received from the refs is what helped them if anything. We both know Wilson and his offense didn't do jack shit the first half.
And I am going to go on a limb here and say that the Niners Panthers game was swayed in favor of the Niners because we all know a Panthers Hawks match up would not have been near as exciting given the rivalry between sf and sea.
I'm on Mobil and you wrote a novel so I can respond to all of it, only what I can remember, but there are other articles I have read that also note shitty officiating aside from the YouTube video. I'll post if I find them.
Kudos to you though for knowing your shit when it comes to sports. Wish there were more chicks out there that are into football and that can hang in a debate
ETA: look past the misspelling and shit that might not make sense. Blame autocorrect and use your imagination. My phones dying and I'm not going through my post to change anything.
