The All-time Screw Job Teams

[NinerSickness]

Since the Niners got a good ol' screw job in Superbowl 47 (all of their mistakes notwithstanding, they did get screwed), what are some other teams in any sport who got similar screw jobs? Other than SB 47, I can think of:

The '83 Niners
The '04 Seahawks
The '02 Kings
The '08 Cardinals
The 2007 Chargers
...and I'm pretty sure the '01 Trailblazers (I think it was 2001) got a nice screw job too (from what I hear). I didn't actually watch that series.

And didn't the Cubs get screwed by a fan who caught a ball over the out-fielder? That one was too funny.

Those are the ones that stand out to me. Can anyone think of any others?

Yes, I know this is probably a really contentious thread, but we have have all offseason.

Not a big game really but how many times do you see 6 terrible calls in one game ALL go against the same team???

Nothing tops the fucking the 49ers got from the refs in the 83 NFC Championship game. I'll never get over that.

WOW!! That was insane. The facemask call was correctly classified as the worst call in college football history.

I'll be honest here. I'm not sure how those "officials" got off the field alive.

The screw job the 49ers got in 1997 deserves to be there, that got the infamously worthless "Apology from the League" for the officials mistakes...

I'm blanking on that one. 1997?

Oh by the way, I think the 1998 Packers were a rare example of them being on the wrong side of a screw job (against the Niners). Rice did fumble on that reception.

 

[bone3421]

what about the no-call on sanders when he was all over irvin in the 95 nfc championship after we spotted the niners 21 points and cut the lead to 7

Favre had a short pass to their fullback Henderson, he caught it took a step or two and turned up field "a football move" which was all that was required back then for a catch...and he got hit and fumbled and Gary Plummer picked it up and had a clear run up the sidelines for a TD. The Refs quickly called it an incomplete pass.

Then later Young hit JJ Stokes for a TD pass, where he jumped up in bounds and the Packers CB who got burned came barreling in and forced him out of bounds when JJ was still in the air. At the time, if the receiver was going to land in bounds like JJ was it would be ruled a force out and a TD, instead the Refs opted that JJ was going out by his own motion... which was BS because JJ practically jumped straight up.

LOL. The 9ers got out-played and out-coached Sunday. Period.

Are you talking about in the regular season or the playoffs?

 

[threelittleturds]

They didn't play GB in the regular season in 1997.

Fuck the Cowboys!

And they still were in position to win. Had it not been for a bullshit no call they probably would have won the game.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

I hate to say it but the Raiders got absolutely screwed in the tuck rule game.

Far more than we got screwed in the Superbowl. We screwed ourselves if you ask me. We got more screwed against the Giants in the NFCC. Our Superbowl loss doesn't deserve to be on a list like this.

What about the phantom holding call in 92 on the Niners very first play that called back an 80 yard TD to Rice? Would have changed that entire game.
