I didn't see any real contact with an official and was wondering about it when it happened. Only thing I can guess is maybe he brushed the one in the middle of it all when he shoved Patton or when the other one is telling him to get back maybe he put his hand out to kind of say back off but there's no evidence of forceful contact or anything.

But having said all of that I'm personally not upset with it. They were obviously unraveling as the game wore on and Ogeltree instigated the whole thing anyway. I'm hoping it was a wake up call for those two young players to have some poise going forward and to take their frustration out through play instead of cheap bull**** just because their embarrassed. Motivate and build up the guys around you and take it to the other team. Don't get frustrated and throw a temper tantrum on the field.

Waufle will get Donald back on the right track, and Singletary will get Ogletree re-focused... I guarantee it!

At no point did I see Donald go after an official however the official that threw the penalty did advance toward Donald. In any case I agree that he needs to keep his composure and Ogletree had no business starting the BS. Neither of them had a performance worthy of their stature.

Yeah he said contact with an official but I didn't see anything of the sort. It must of been with his hands when he was separating him and no body could see because of the bodies. I personally didn't see anything that warranted getting ejected for. I've seen worse that was only flagged.

I still can't get over who was that that raised his arms to say what to a ref and accidentally hit him with his arm and got ejected? Will Hayes wasn't it?

Fisher said an official put his hand on him to pull him away and Donald pushed his hand off.

Him or Sims. Can't remember which one.

It was probably what he may have said to the ref during the melee. I don't see the contact itself.

Reminds me of the Orlando Pace years ago when he got ejected for accidently bumping into the ref at the Seahawks game.

After all, it was the Niners home field. And the calls usually favors the home team than visitors.

I think he was making a statement that everyone needed to wake up and play ! our d line was contained all game and he was obviously frustrated. I don't blame him and sometime your best player blowing up like that will lead to good things.

Honestly if you look at what olgetree did it wasnt anything erroneous at all. When the announcers went back to say he hit him on the head they couldn't even figure out what he did. Gabbertt just got up clowning and his team responded then so did ours.

I thought Singletary was just a camp advisor, is he on the staff?
Not sure. I thought he was going to be their adviser during the season too. I did notice he was not listed as a coach on the team website, so maybe it was only during training camp.

I sure hope he's still on board, Tree could use the help from one of the best MLB.

A trademark of our team under Fisher is for our players to always respond to dumb shit and go into tirades and get penalties.

There is nothing leadership about it at all. It's the same brain dead, childish bullshit lack of poise that we have seen out of these regime for years.

If anything, it's gotten worse.

The class and professionalism that existed on the D-Line at least, seems to have departed with the departures of Long and JL55. Sad.

Seeing grown ass men cry, whine, and engage in shoddy, piss-poor sportsmanship while playing a game they're privileged to play because genetics dealt them a solid, is kinda pathetic. I expect that behavior from children. Not men. Certainly not "captains."

My guess is these two players are going to single-handedly Destroy the Sea-Chickens Sunday!!(y)
Oh! And I didn't see Donald lay a finger on the Official! IDK!

After he tackled Gabbert he pushed him back to the ground and then stood and walked over the top of him. Obviously something done in frustration and chippy.

Hoping the Rams will extend his role in the disciplinary department. He certainly did an excellent job developing Vernon Davis's character back when he was still a punk.

Yeah, well that's why when you have a former Chicago Bear defensive player, who played on that great SB team on staff, you need to keep him away from the offense.
Oh, wait a minute...
