Although we blame Kyle Williams muffed punt, this call by the refs is more egregious imo
February 12, 2026
2 minutes left in the game and the 49ers force a fumble on Ahmad Bradshaw in the Giants red zone but the refs call the play dead IMMEDIATELY smh

Big time. But refs blowing their whistle early is whatever. Muffing TWO fucking punts in the same game however, inexcusable. Catch the damn ball!
I know Williams just talked about it but god damn do we have to relive it RIGHT NOW?!?!??!
They called forward progress while Bradshaw was still moving forward. I was jumping out my skin when this happened.
Dude. Forgot all about this play. F***
I was at the game and a family member of mine met with Ahmad after the game (Marshall class mates) and he said he fumbled
it is all egregious. This is still the most painful playoff loss for me this century.
I think the 49ers win this game and possibly the Super Bowl if their WR Josh Morgan doesn’t get injured while still playing in the blowout against the Bucs. He would’ve been useful to their offense here
I love how outside fans like to talk shit about us living in the past like the Montana and Young years but yet here we are bringing up all the painful playoff memories every now and then.
The worse play is a year later in the Superbowl, the Jacoby Jones return TD.
Bruce Miller is picked up by two Ravens players who encircle him and hold so bad he looks like young Magneto at the beginning of the first X-Men movie, being held back by the German troops.
The first of many heartbreaks for Gen Z Niners fans 😕
Alex smith not knowing how to convert a 3rd down was worse
I think this was the point I blacked out
Never seen anything like this before or after. That was indeed a fumble. Gave the game to our nemesis imo.
Muffed punts and the Niners in big games name a better pair
We also went 1/13 on third down.
Blame Kyle Williams and this shitty call all you want but that’s the real reason for the loss.
We gotta learn how to stomp on a team’s throat so bad the refs simply can’t affect anything.
Let it go.
On my most annoyed days I think the shit Eddie D did embarrassed the shield and got us blacklisted by the league from ever winning another one. We’ve just had too many refs swallow too many whistles across too many games. It’s never been in our favor. The top 10 all time biggest swings in percentage chance to win a playoff game/Super Bowl has 4 Niners plays that went against them. It’s just nearly inconceivable.
