To be honest DAL, SF, AZ, and SD were all terrible for me. Hard to pick the worst among them, as all were painful for different reasons.
I'll go with SF. Division rival, in our house, MNF, all eyes on us, chance to shut up national media, chance to change national perception of our team, Rams alumni week celebrating GSOT, early in the season. And we let it slip through our fingers.
I'll never forget the feeling of pounding them into a paste. 14-0. Dominating in all phases. Rookie making their first starts giving this team a spark (Mason, Donald, Robinson). We're driving for another TD to put us up 21-3 at half. 3rd and 9 from SF 46, Cook makes a catch short of the first and then fights for the first down, rumbling to the 25. OPI 3rd and 19. Never have I felt an outcome was more fixed. If anything Culliver initiated the contact and any contact between the 2 was minimal and within the 5 yard window. We go on to punt. Lloyd double moves JJ in a situation you should never be peeking in the backfield as a CB or have a MLB covering the deep middle of the field. Punch in the gut. I knew after that that we couldn't win a game this tough making crucial mistakes like that. Then niners get a favorable DPI call on their first drive in the 3rd Q to extend their drive, ending in 7.
And that's all she wrote. Davis folded and our team seemed to have lost its swagger. Most frustrating was the fact that we beat ourselves and had to play the refs. SF SHOULD HAVE LOST. See the game @ SF if you don't believe me.
