There are probably a few coaches that would not have thought to decline it, just because they suck.Comment -
Harbaugh may have nightmares of the punts his punt returner
muffed in the Nfc championship game. He may not want to
risk a loss in this situation.Comment -
It won me $$ tonight so that's what I care about. Last time I checked that was the objective.

Why would "Vegas" want the game to land on 7?Originally posted by TheMoneyShot
Think about everyone that bought the line down to -6.5, and everyone who bought the line up to +7.5.
They get screwed with the game landing on 7.
Let's use some common sense here, folks. Jim Harbaugh made the right call, decline the penalty and the game is over.Comment -
Definitely seems a little fishy... people saying that declining the safety was the right call are saying so because there was a small chance that down by 9, Sea could have recovered an onside kick, gone down the field, scored, recovered ANOTHER onside kick, gone down the field again and kicked a field goal. All with under a minute left and no timeouts.
I would guess the odds of all this happening are probably about the same as the 9ers fumbling on the kneel down play and Sea recovering which theoretically could have happened and would have given the Seahawks the ball back down by only 7.
On the other hand, the flag that created the safety was fishy too. I don't know what to think, but a weird ending all around.
FYI, I was on Sea 2nd half ml for a small amount, so my bet was pretty much dead either way.Comment -
Right call by harbough, terrible call by ref. Ref may have had -8 or something but Harbough made the right call.Comment -
He would of accepted the safety if it was a first down.Originally posted by MobFadeComment -
Not as dumb as you not realizing that he could have and would have accepted the safety if they overturned the spot.Comment -

I'm astonished at all the morons making a fuss about this. I had the niners and I still don't know what the big deal. Fuking idiots.... Alex Smith blew the cover, not Harbaugh

He would still have the choice to accept the penalty/safety if they overturned the spot after review.Originally posted by MobFadeComment -
Yes he can. He declined the penalty based on the spot, if the spot changes of course he doesn't have to decline the penalty. There are like 7 people on this entire board that know the rules of the NFL I think.Originally posted by MobFadeOriginally posted by Dark HorseComment -
Don't I sound smart?Originally posted by A4KComment -
Lol what happens whens Seattle recovers onside and makes miraculous comeback? Would harbaugh be the worst coach ever for not taking the ball and kneeing it for easy win? You people are mad your on the wrong end which is understandable move on and crush the books on Sunday.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I stopped paying attention to the game) I'm pretty sure I heard the ref say 49ers would decline the penalty IF the Hawks didn't get the first down.Originally posted by MobFade

Obviously mobfade does not understand itOriginally posted by DrStaleComment -
You don't need a challenge to accept a penalty, and you can't challenge anything with 40 seconds left in the game anyway. You are wrong, if the replay changed things, they would ask him about the penalty again, and he would obviously accept.Comment -
Misinterpreted the rule. Harbaugh's play is brilliant. Sea+9 covers.Comment -

There was no chop block to begin with.
I dont see anything wrong with Harbaugh's call, most people just pissed because their bet pushed or lost cause of thatComment -
Listen, I'm glad you cashed, but suggesting that playing teasers is a sharp angle seems like a bit of a stretch. Good luck with your selections, buddy.Originally posted by Bigh2001It won me $$ tonight so that's what I care about. Last time I checked that was the objective.Comment -

Absolutely wasn't a high low block, niner backers have no business complaining here. Seattle should have and did cover the gameComment -
it is the syndicats who had + 9 that need to cash dont forget it....books cant have it because the public is how the books are balance.Originally posted by A4K
the public would have cashed on -7, 7.5, 8, 8.5.....when sharps like me got it 9, 8, 7.5 they need to cash somehowComment -
keep in mind it was not the gamethat is fixed, its life that is fixed.....life is predetermined and this game could not be any oter way.Originally posted by theyknowthescoreComment
