According to who?
It's my opinion and was clearly shared by the officials on the field who watched it happen. There was minimal contact between the two players. Still waiting for someone to show me where that was roughing the kicker.
He rolled on his plant leg. Did you even hear what the head of the rules committee said during the game? You know, the guy that should know the rules the best?

According to the laws of physics.
If a kicker comes down with all his weight on his plant leg and a defender runs right into his knee, it's like leaning a piece of wood against a fence and kicking it in half.

He doesn't want to understand. Don't even bother anymore. The head of the damn rules committee said it was a blatant missed call. Apparently Carp knows better.

Yeah no reason to waste our bandwidth arguing with him.
What? Yeah it's more dangerous but you're just making up a horrible analogy.

Actually it's a freakin' awesome analogy. Probably the best analogy of the day. It's exactly the way Bowman got his leg tore up.

Cute, but I was asking who said thethe's quote since thethe is apprarently on the football rule committee.
And that is a horrible analogy. The defender slid into the ankle of the kicker as the kicker's momentum was taking him forward. There was minimal contact.

And the Refs on the field said otherwise. Also, hows about a link to this "blatant missed call" quote? I don't recalll those words being used. And in the NFL rule book, it in fact does not say anything about the plant leg being a 15 yard penalty.
Who's more likely to be wrong about a call, the guys on the field, or a guy looking at it afterward?
Logic really escapes you at times.
Roughing is a JUDGEMENT call. People need to get over it. Minimal contact was made. The kicker contributed to the contact with his own movement. Watch
the friggin replay and read the damn rule book and explain how it was roughing. Still waiting for someone, anyone, to do that. All I get is the same retread argument "1 random guy in the booth who used to be in the NFL committee says it's true. It must be soooo!!!!". I think I'll trust the guys who currently enforce the rules rather than someone who has not been involved in that aspect in nearly 5 years.
Fact is, nowhere in the rulebook does it say anything about plant leg or kicking leg. All it states is that contact with kicker if the ball is not touched is running into the kicker. Any unnecessary roughness is roughing the kicker.

Yeah the rule is in place on the plant leg to protect the kicker from getting hurt. As you could see, it didn't take much contact on that plant leg to almost break the kickers ankle. That's why the rule is there. How is that so hard for you to understand? Kickers don't jump backward, they go forward when kicking the ball. I don't see why that even matters. It's really not a tough concept to grasp.
You're going full Zito right now. Never go full Zito.

So where the Niners fans on this?
Sherman genuinely being a good sport and Crabtree being the punk shoving him in the face.
I think SHerman was mocking Crabtree, but don't forget right after this he started motioning to Kap that Kap choked.
You just knew that somebody was going to do this:
