A key moment in the game was when the 49ers faced a 4th-and-6 at their own 42-yard line with 2:45 left in the contest. Somehow, the Seahawks called two consecutive timeouts between plays and were not handed a 5-yard penalty.<\/p>\n<p>FOX rules analyst Mike Pereira went on KNBR to discuss the moment and explained that it was a major error from the officiating crew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that Seattle asked for a second timeout,\u201d Pereira explained. \u201cWhat you are to do when a team asks for a timeout when they\u2019re not entitled to it \u2014 so either they\u2019re out of timeouts or they\u2019ve already called one in that same dead-ball period \u2014 what you do is ignore it. Now, it didn\u2019t get ignored. It got granted\u2026 Is it simply a do-over at that point because the officials erroneously granted that? No, it is a 5-yard penalty. Even though the official shouldn\u2019t have stopped it, when he does, then it\u2019s a 5-yard penalty. That\u2019s a rule. To me, it\u2019s kinda one of those unforgivables, and they recognized it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 5-5, the Niners are struggling to get over the hump. But on Sunday, there may have been some blame to put on NFL officials.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Shanahan Speaks on Seattle Timeouts<\/h2>\n<p>On November 18, San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about the moment. While clearly focused on the bigger picture, Shanahan did admit he would\u2019ve gone for a 4th-and-1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about that since it didn\u2019t happen,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cBut I\u2019m sure if it was fourth-and-one we would\u2019ve gone for it. We also would\u2019ve been in much easier field goal range too, so I know it wouldn\u2019t have been a punt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he had followed up with the NFL about the moment, the 49ers HC gave more context to what he was told by officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll send something in, but I mean, I talked to the refs on the field. I said, \u2018how\u2019d they just get two timeouts in a row?\u2019 And they said that they didn\u2019t, they had to fix, they alerted them with something that was wrong with something the refs were doing and then they fixed it. But I thought they had timeouts because I thought I saw a guy run up there and call one,\u201d Shanahan said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>49ers Face Tough Follow-Up to Seahawks Loss<\/h2>\n<p>One of the hardest part about dropping the home game to Seattle is that it does not get any easier for San Francisco over the next two weeks. They face back-to-back road games, first traveling to Green Bay to face the Packers on November 24.<\/p>\n<p>The following week, they will battle the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo. The Bills just handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season as QB Josh Allen looks like an MVP candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Things do get easier after that with home games against the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams, but the 49ers are in a critical stretch and are coming off a home loss that they will likely regret.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Reier is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
