Gun Control,,,,not likely
yes I was pissed about your loss to the Ravens,49ers let us down,,,,,
It's technically a reverse chop, and I don't know if I've ever seen it called before this week. It was clear even in real time that Gore hit first.
For the record, Parry called it wrong by failing to refer to it as a reverse chop, so if we want to get really technical, it was definitely the wrong call.
yes it is about right or wrong, was it a penalty or not? if you say yes, then you agree with me. this wasn't a gray area call, it was a penalty in accordance with the rules.
in other games sometimes it isn't called, but in THIS case it was so drop that argument about borderline. since it WAS called, was it a penalty or not?
"It's technically a reverse chop."
It is a reverse "type" of chop block, but it is still called just a chop block.
"I don't know if I've ever seen it called before this week."
Well, maybe if you watched more than 9 minutes of football per year you would see more of them. We were the beneficiary of an equally, or perhaps an even more ticky-tack chop-block in the Detroit game.
"It was clear even in real time that Gore hit first."
Excellent observation!...And your point is?
"For the record, Parry called it wrong by failing to refer to it as a reverse chop, so if we want to get really technical, it was definitely the wrong call"
For the record, you're an idiot; and, if we want to get really technical you're something even worse. The call was announced on the field correctly. It is a Personal Foul - Chop Block - Period!
Furthermore, chop blocks are a player-protection, personal-foul penalty; which, last time I checked were being called with little regard to the level of flagrance or impact on the game.
Refs have been instructed to err on the side of caution; too much caution in this case, perhaps. But, if we were on the receiving end of this penalty, YOU would be presenting all of this BS in support of why it was 'technically the right call', and yes YOU would be, so don't say otherwise.
I dunno. I respect your opinion, but to me it was tough to see Rachal even make contact.
Anyway, 9-2 and we move on.
Should every penalty be called, or do you agree that some penalties aren't and shouldn't be called? Look through the rule book and then find a play in which one of those rules isn't violated.

I know you're still upset about the way I embarrassed you last week, but try not be such a bitch. If you can.
You're right, we were the beneficiary of a borderline chop several weeks ago, and I called it that way at the time. But that wasn't a reverse chop. The OL was engaged high and then the RB went low. That's a normal chop. The reason that call was borderline was because it looked like the OL broke off before the RB got there. And that call was more in keeping with the rule because the second player went low. That's the reason for the penalty, to protect a defenseless player's legs. That was a borderline call and we got lucky that it went our way. There was no danger to Pollard's legs in this case because Gore hit him head on before he was touched by Rachal.
Since you bring up the league's tighter approach to personal fouls, the NFL acknowledged that it was a bad call when it didn't fine Gore.
The Niners had every opportunity to win the game, regardless of the officials. But the chop block call was a bad one - maybe technically a violation, but a technical rule violation occurs on just about every NFL play - and that TD changes the nature of that game. No way to say who would have won if it stood, but there's absolutely no doubt that it would have made a big difference.
I agree with much of this. Re: the part in bold, I heard four or five sports personalities bemoan the call as ridiculous, including Mayock who was announcing the game. I haven't heard anyone say it was a clear penalty and the right call.
You'll get your chance to do something about it soon enough, Shitsburgh fan.
YOU ARE an asshole,but I'm sure you already know that
I think most personal fouls are bemoaned these days...
Here is Harbaugh's quote:
"It was a bang-bang play for Chilo," Harbaugh said. "He really just got his hands on him. I wish he could have seen that and not put his hands on him. It was certainly a chop block, and it was a good call. You had one guy going low, and then Chilo put his hands on the defender, which turned it into a chop block."
Even Mayock agreed the call was accurate, but was, as we have all implied - ticky-tack.
Two questions for Deep and MW:
1) Do you believe that NFL officials should call every technical penalty they observe?
2) If not, when is it ok for an official not to call a penalty?
