Please. The 49ers could have been called for a bunch of other penalties, too. And the Raven player who pushed the official appeared to have gotten stomped in the back by a 49er.I hope all the officials choke on their flags. This was a game defined by penalties NOT called: starting in the first half with a Raven giving a 49er a shot to the head after the whistle, right in front of the linesman who was marking the ball.
Ed Reed's blatant offside on the 49ers two-point conversion attempt.
The helmet-to-helmet hit on Crabtree on the 49ers 2nd to last play.
The defensive holding on 4th and goal.
Ravens win because they played aggressively, outside the rules, and were not reined in by the absentee officials.
Pitiful. They're still a group of thugs.
Last play? Could have just as easily been offensive interference.
It wasn't the best called game, no doubt, but the game was there for either team to win or lose. Officials didn't decide it, the players did.
