In the first half Ahanotu sacked Hasslebeck. In getting up he stepped away over another player and then walked right back to Hasslebeck and said something confrontational directly in his face. Much, much worse then Hasslebeck did in the 2nd half. No penalty.
I'm defiantly not a conspiracy person but try this on for size. There was a lot of second half money for the 49ers.
I know a lot of people try to middle the game in these kind of circumstances, but I'm told that this was a little more than usually.
Most of the Seattle penalties in the 2nd half seemed marginal at best and they stopped when the 49ers were sure to cover(the 2nd half).
Is it possible that something was going on or I’m just a bad loser. I wound up losing the front end.
