Quote:It's really a game changing penalty. It extends drives and makes defensive players even more timid about hitting a qb ever. Heck even if they have the ball still and get a sack they can still get that call. It's just horrible. Might as well trot them out in skirts and Pom poms

ya we have had it happen a couple times here I remember someone getting a clean hit (possibly clint session) on a qb he fumbled and Knighton catching it for a td and it got called back for roughing the passer

 

 

 

this game specifically cost the 49ers a game on what should have been a walk off sack fumble


New Orleans would be rightfully 10-6 (same as AZ cardinals)  SF rightfully 13-3  same as Seahawks that year  Saints would still be the 6th seed despite 10-6 tie with AZ since they had a better conference record. but the 49ers would have had homefield advantage throughout the playoffs instead of the Seahawks.
