Probably the loss that haunts me the most in any sport for any of my teams. Where to even begin:

- the Pierre hit that’s been mentioned
- that stupid “Tony Montana” song the Niners loved that year
- the best play of Jimmy Graham’s career that ended up completely forgotten after our defense choked
- Gregg Williams giving Niners film on his blitzes to be petty in a preseason game

The Roby fumble on the kickoff is when it really felt like it was gonna be one of those days.

The Pierre hit wasn’t illegal. He was a “runner” after he made a football move with the ball. Not defenseless. Thomas has said as much

Alex smith keeper is the play that sticks out to me most

The abusive 49er fans, before during, and after the game. They were horrible! Constant Katrina references, like “too bad you didn’t die, maybe I should kill you now!” …that kind of wonderful stuff..yep

And we would have won our 2nd SB in 3 years

For me it’s the illegal hit on Pierre Thomas at the end of our first drive. I think everyone has forgotten about it
. That is 100% it. I bitched about that play for a long time after that. I still cannot understand how that was ruled it was 100% dirty. I still believe if Pierre doesn’t get knocked out the Saints win that game going away.

Between that and 1-9 happening back to back it really killed the joy of sports for me.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda. Goodell had the fix in so there was no way Sean Payton and Saints win.

Undoubtedly I hate the fact that the Saints lost the game. That’s it. Nothing else matters.

The fact the defense didn’t learned after a similar late game collapse happened against the Titans (Saints held on 22-17)

That illegal hit was bad, but we still had them beat after Graham's go-ahead TD with 40+ seconds left..

...but then have to watch them and Vernon Davis drive & score on our ole' defense (in what was then considered an impossibly short amount of time) personally stung for almost a decade. I'm really just getting over it.

I imagine it's probably how Bills fans currently feel after letting the Chiefs score in 13 seconds.
