Official Ravens vs 49ers Super Bowl Discussion

They crushed joe out of bounds which would have made it first and goal so that can negate the hold on Crabtree and like mike Irvin and Deion said Crabtree didn't even flip out . If it was a hold he would have lost his mind he didn't get a flag. He came at smith , smith grabbed , Crabtree pushed off . Great non call .

i don't know anyone outside of ravens fans that see it that way. i wouldn't have called pass interference but he 100% had a handful of jersey which made it a very clear hold.

I not saying he didn't but Crabtree pushed off and pushed his helmet down so great no call

Crushed out of bounds? Really? Maybe Ed Reed wasn't offsides either?? Ravens DB didn't shove a ref? There was also no blatent hold in the endzone on the safety play? Crabtree was a terrible non call with two hands wrapped around the back of his jersey.

What else can you do when you are being held and trying to get to a spot. He impeaded his progression to get to that spot by holding. There is no way around it.

It's funny knowing that if the Broncos safety just would of done this job, we don't know who would of made it out of the AFC to the Super Bowl. Just shows that the Ravens got hot at the right time, and rode that to the Super Bowl victory. Nice to see Ray Lewis get a title, just makes you wonder that with the win, does Ed Reed hang up the cleats also?

The Patriots would have probably stomped all over the Broncos and Manning since they seem to do very well against them. I don't think the Pats would have done anything in the Super Bowl against the 49ers though. The Ravens after making that staff change were a much better team and were extra motivated after Ray announced he was going to retire.

Sounds like Reed is looking at the colts.......Reunited with Pagano I guess.

come on man, he had to push off because the defender had handfuls of jersey. As best you can, try and be honest. If the teams were reversed, would you really think that was a great no call?

Maybe Flacco didn't get pushed down after running out of bounds. I agree it was a hold, but you gotta call the personal foul on Flacco then. Both were very very close calls, and they let both go. If they don't then Baltimore has a two score lead instead of one and SF scores with a minute or so to go and is still down by a couple.

Dont forget as well that the Ravens player who pushed the ref got stomped on.

No, one was obvious and the other the qb was a running back. He never touched out of bounds when hit. The hold was ridiculous. Crabtree couldn't even get to the corner to attempt a catch.
