San Francisco 49ers fans aren’t the only ones unhappy with the officiating in their 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira didn’t hold anything back when describing the phantom timeout before the final 49ers’ punt. It was just one of many terrible calls that added to the 49ers' lengthy list of mistakes to doom them.
It’s essential to reiterate that officiating did not cost the 49ers the game. We’ve already discussed how badly the offense played and that Geno Smith scamper. Those are the reasons they lost.
