A 49ers player was literally down on his back for 5 seconds and they ruled it a fumble. That's the worst call I've ever seen.

As bad as the call last week between Auburn and Arkansas when Bo Nix fumbled the snap and then clearly lateraled the ball backwards, but the referees called it intentional grounding, even after the play was reviewed and clearly was a backwards pass and seemed clearly recovered by Arkansas?

They overturned it, but still it shouldn't take 5 minutes to review something a casual fan saw as it happened live.

To be fair, when replay overturns a call it isn't just "OK the call is this." It's "Lets look at whether he fumbled or was down. OK, so we are overturning the call, now where to we spot the ball? Now that we know that, not how much time is on the clock?" That process is what makes some reviews take long.

I didn't see it so I won't comment on how egregiously bad it was (I figure it was based on the reaction I've seen) here and on the Twitter.

Conspiracy - The game was moving quickly so they had to get in a few extra commercials.

Vikings traded Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens. Man, that defense is going to be elite.

Might as well throw in the towel. They?re done.

Fine with me.

I know the NFC East has 4 of the biggest cities and fanbases, but goodness they shouldn't get any primetime games this year.
