Comments on: Jim Harbaugh: ‘A penalty is a penalty no matter when it occurs in a game’ http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2013/02/07/jim-harbaugh-a-penalty-is-a-penalty-no-matter-when-it-occurs-in-a-game/ At ease Larry, you're in a humorous sports blog, not "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer. You should really just relax.

The refs had their flags in their pockets the whole game. You and your team have to adjust to how the game is being called.

Jim, let it go. You can’t claim to be graceful in defeat and berate the officials for the next 5 days. The replay clearly shows Crabtree pushing off as well. If a penalty is a penalty, then you’d be ok with offensive pass interference as well?

I’ve never heard a coach say “let the kids decide the game” when the foul went in their favor.

That being said, you should probably just tune out all youth coaches. Mostly they’re insane when it comes to refs.

I wouldn’t have thrown the flag on either play.

I hear way more coaches complain about late game calls saying “let the kids decide the game” than I hear officials say it. Even obvious ones. It depends on whether or not its on their team.

That missed call was way more obvious that anything shown on the Crabtree pass.
