    Default Culliver avoiding contact on Jones TD...

    One play I'm still surprised that the telecast didn't question, and nobody has criticized in the aftermath of the game... Culliver literally hurdled Jacoby Jones to avoid contact on the long TD. You're taught to hit the guy, and given that Jones was turned around and falling backwards, it should have been easy for Culliver to fall on top of him. Instead, he jumped over to avoid contact. That should be a "cuttable offense".

    If Cary Williams had done the same thing, we'd still be crucifying him...

    he did that because the Refs didn't call holding 27 minutes later.

    Maybe he thought Jacoby was gay and didn't want to get any on him.

    Yea, everytime I see that play I can't believe the San Fran defender jumped to avoid Jones. Yet, people want to cry about a non-existent holding call on the last play.

    Really? We're talking about a SAN FRANCISCO player here.

    I guess you missed his media day anti-gay tirade. Quite surprising for an SF player.
