I also forgot the constant spots where the niners were given the ball half a yard to 1 yard further than they were down, and the opposite a couple of times for the Falcons.

You guys that really believe refs favor one team or another need to come up from your mom's basement. The refs may make mistakes but they are not trying to show favor. If they were the catch HD made would have been overturned.
The NFL is not the freaking WWF!
The two turnovers killed us... that and the defense not stopping them.

Even Fox's Peria said it could not be overturned because it was called a catch on the field.

Visa is a huge sponsor of the NFL and the networks that show it. The two big commercials for Visa were san fran and Baltimore. Visa is making sure those teams appear in the super bowl.

The HD catch was ruled a catch on the field. They couldn't overturn it. Had it been called incomplete on the field it wouldn't have gotten overturned either. But just breathing on the damn QB is a 15 yard penalty against us and yet they clearly drove Ryan into the ground on that last play and there was no foul. 1 of the many examples of calls that went against the Falcons today. If you don't think games are fixed to a certain degree then your just being naive. There's too much money involved for it to not have some level of influence on the games.

Seriously there were 3 calls (or no calls) that could have changed this game....but WE GAVE IT AWAY....make no mistakes...Let's not pull the excuse card. OK to say we lost that game rather than the niners winning it....but let's not pull the bad ref card.....we could have overcome those 3 bad calls/no calls.....in fact not could SHOULD!

That was not my point... I was addressing those that somehow think the NFL rigs games. if they wanted to rig the game it could have been called the opposite on the field.
I agree it was a catch.
