On the other hand, Sidney Rice was open all game and Wilson just couldn't find him. Definitely not the best game from Wilson. | ||

1. What was the penalty that awarded the safety? 2. how do you determine the position of the football when its close like that is it the holder's legs? the position of the ball on the field? 3. what is the benefit of declining the safety? sure i guess seahawks could get a crazy touchdown from their own kick but they are ahead 9 points with the safety right? | ||

It was called a "Chop Bock" in the endzone. Typlically, offensive penalties that occur within ones endzone result in a safety. More oftentimes seen is Intentionial Grounding calls that result in a safety 2. I assume you are talking about spotting the ball after the catch. The refs have more camera angels available to them and are allowed to use to use multiple angels to piece the spot together. 3. There really was no benefit to declining the safety. | ||

I believe so, as long as the penalty occurred in the endzone it can result in a safety 3. you could just also take the win, which is what they did spike the ball and no risk short of some bull rushing the victory formation, and getting a td off a forced fumble, but that would be 2 things to happen a bit harder than an amazing kick off return. So just take the less risky one On October 19 2012 11:50 thuracine wrote: Harbuagh is the camera mans best friend.

It's a really weird rare situation that is like once a every couple decades at best, but there it is. | ||

If he HAD taken the safety, then he'd have trolled the other part of the people who better the other side of the spread. No win situation when you complain about spread betting. | ||

On a side note, running cut block drills in high school was a real pain in the ass. Its pretty much doing monkey runs in full pads over and over and over and over.

It's a really weird rare situation that is like once a every couple decades at best, but there it is. That would have to be a once in a lifetime play sequence. I wonder when the last time something like that has even occurred where a team muffed a kickoff, lost the onside kick, and then had an opponent drive for a game winning FG. Im not sure that has ever happened before in the NFL, if it has it was likely back in the early, early days of american football. | ||

Just try to imagine the 49ers team before he took over and you'll see why this attention to detail and game management is the core of why the Niners have had such an amazing turnaround as a franchise. Oh I get you, but that's a sequence of plays that rivals the terribleness that was the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs. Who as I recall they had a play in which the snap was fumbled, the QB then picked up the fumble and threw an INT, which was then returned for a TD. Edit - Also agreed on the Harbaugh gifs. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the networks have a camera simply tracking him. His faces are priceless. | ||

I dont think you lay this one on Wilson. He made some bad plays, but those two drops in the first half were absolute killers (and they were "easy" catches). You make those plays with that kind of momentum (like the Seahawks had) and you likely have 7+ points on the board already. | ||
