This.

Look I'm a huge 49er fan but I think a no call here was the right call.

I wonder if this play may be an excuse to revise the mechanics philosophy for end zone coverage. Moving the near side deep official, over to the far sideline, in the vicinity of the 20 yard line. would give the officials the same magical viewpoint as the visiting coaches have, which seems to provide an absolutely perfect view.
