     True. It also appeared obvious that the Ravens were very off-sides on that failed 49er two point conversion attempt.

     But...that last call in the end zone on Crabtree was a good no-call, considering how the refs were calling the game throughout. There was a deep throw in the first half to Torrey Smith, who was obviously illegally contacted, or interfered with.

I saw the most egregious non holding call on the defender on the last pass  to Crabtree...he held him for 5 seconds as if he was performing on dancing with  the stars. A correct holding call & it's first and goal with 1 1/2 minutes left.

Disgusting !!!

 

You are correct, however, and I blame Harbaugh that Kaep or Gore or James or Dixon should have run the ball in on 2nd and 3rd downs !!!

 

The Niners made the same kind of stupid mistake on a penalty in the first quarter as the Pats did last year. Led to 7 for NY and cost the Pats the game. Led to 4 extra and cost the Niners the game tonight.

     Amen. That knucklehead will be preaching his dime store Reverend Ike BS all next season on the pre-game shows.

     If you're going to point to anything as to why the 49ers lost...point to that 108 yard kickoff return. A team can't give away 7 points to a good opponent, like that.  

 

 

Good point by you all....it might actually get worse.

Well, I bring that up because I sat here on the couch and said when it happened it could easily cost them that game, plus, it was completely unforced and unnecessary--just like the Pats 12 on the field last year. At least you could say the Ravens made a play on the KO return.

I've seen a very many holdings called for much less than that.

The stupid off sides penalty in the first quarter was a killer. I said when it happened that it would figure in the outcome. That gave Balt 4 more points than they should have had.

     In the regular season...sure. But, not in the SB. The refs were letting them play. Overall, I felt that the game was well officiated...though I thought that the Ravens were clearly offsides on that missed 49er two point conversion.  The bottom line overall...the better team won.
