1. Can you onside a safety kick? I thought you couldn't.

2. They'd still need two scores.

[Gee]

No money on a side or total, so just laughing at what happened.

Very physical game. Harbaugh did the right thing. Getting the two points also gave his players another chance to get banged up. Once he was short of the 1st down, it was always a win for 49ers.

[Rich Boy]

No such thing as an onside safety kick

Dumbest call ever if Smith fumbles it and they fkn lose

Go up 9 points and you cant lose if you tried.

Mafia controlled that call all the way

[The Giant]

Someone please explain to me (other than conspiracy theories) why in the world would SF decline that penalty?

They get the safety, get 2 points, they get the ball back anyway, fair catch the safety kick, kneel and game is over anyway.

What's the reasoning behind not taking the 2 points and declining?

You can onside kick a safety.

Theoretically, it's not a bad call what he did.

It's still weird that you wouldn't let your defense celebrate a safety.

[dante1]

This fukin league gets shadier every week

nope smart coach call, no fix.

without the safety they get the ball and no chance of seattle winning

wit the safety chance they don't get the ball and seattle has a chance of winning

yes the chance is 1 in a million but without the safety the chance is zero.

smart call

ya and score a 9 point touchdown?

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

Wow. First time I've been on the right side of the bullshit. Awesome!!!

[Brock Landers]

yeah, cause that 9 point play is in the playbook

That is the sickest Spread loss in HISTORY

NOTHING beats that

THANK GOD i had the ML...else i'd be looking to kill someone tonight

100-1 odds Harbaugh gets multiple death threats tonight!

I just posted the reason. They don't automatically get the ball, seattle would do onside kick

The chances of recovering 2 onside kicks and scoring twice are ridiculously small but they still are higher than the chance of a recovered fumble on kneel down

[sideloaded]

UNREAL

that will happen once every 5 years or so

landers, you piece of shit, kill yourself

Yes there is.

What? You have no idea what youre talking about.

[Guinser]

Absolutely miserable for sf backers after that glimmer of hope but would make no sense to risk injury to any of his team when they would be one kneel away instead of a kneel and special teams play.

The only thing I can think of is that this way they just get to kneel on it and the game is over. If they take the safety SEA will kickoff and/or onside kick it, and possibly have people get hurt.

[Darkside Magick]

Best play was -5.5@ half..stuff getting shadier and shadier

[dante1]

ya and score a 9 point touchdown?

that isn't the point, they could possibly score twice with that scenario

without that scenario they never get a chance to get the ball

smart call

it depends if seattle is allowed by rule to do an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff after the safety

Unless a 9 point TD was just invented it doesn't really matter.

An onside punt ?? with a 9 point lead ?

[jrmartin.mig]

Arguments regarding the inside kick aside, that was a horrible spot on the catch on the 21. He was about 4-5 inches past where he needed to be on the replay and they marked him about 4 inches short. That was a horrible horrible spot.

[Br0nxer]

belicheck took a kneel down in the end zone years ago in a MNF game against the broncos

Pats were down 4 i believe at there own 1 yd line late in 4th quarter with all there timeouts left

he didnt want to punt. figured he would have a better chance with the free kick pinning them deeper.

Pats ended up winning the game. fukkin genius. pinned them with the free kick and got the ball back

anyone remember that game

[Aquaplex]

Had Seattle +10, no sweat.

[DwightShrute]

[303] SEATTLE +7½-110

You gotta add in what I said earlier too.

Its also an extra, high-collision play for Harbaugh's boys to get banged up for no point...

No way. He barely reached the 21 and the marker was beyond that.

I didn't see the replay.

If it was an obvious bad call, and should have been a first down, then that makes things really sketchy.

[Brock Landers]

i can't say i've EVER seen a sicker loss on the spread for people who had SF -8 or 8 1/2.

That is the most unbelievable way to NOT win

I'd give anything to see the reaction in Vegas

how do you onside a free kick?

[milwaukee mike]

An onside punt ?? with a 9 point lead ?

No an onside Kick OR an onside punt, their choice

amazing people bet on a sport they don't know the rules of

A free kick after a safety can either be a punt or a kickoff, including an onside kick

[Smoke]

Brock is broke

[Chi_archie]

hey strange things happen free kick it the 10 yards and get a good hope and recover, one deep pass for a td

do a traditional onside kick, run 2-3 plays get in fg range, kick the winning kick.

.001% chance of it happening. But I think a kneel down is even less risky
