How many non-calls were there in this game which impacted the outcome? No less than four. If you count the 3rd down plays that the Ravens should have been flagged when their right tackle moved prior to the snap, the number of three and outs for the Ravens would have been much larger, giving more potential offensive drives for the 49ers. If the Ravens had been flagged for their after the whistle smackdowns on SF receivers and QB, that BS would have ended. By NOT calling these thugs for their on-field behavior, the refs encouraged it, and it continued up to the end of the game. By not calling roughing against the Ravens when they should have, the 49ers were forced to settle for three. By NOT calling PI on the play in the end zone, the refs gave the game to the Ravens. Those refs deserve a ring for handing the game to the Ravens. Dispicable.

I see you're flying a California flag on your freeper page, SD, so I suspect you had a dog in this fight...the 49ers.

I didn't. I'm a Cincy native, and I have no love lost for the 49ers, but I'm not a Ravens fan either.

The refs allowed a lot of bumping and mixing it up throughout the game. The Ravens were hurt by PI throughout the game, imho.

But, I watched that final PI you're talking about, and the DB made legal contact with the receiver coming off the line. The RECEIVER continued in the direction of the DB maintaining the contact and then attempted a bit of a break to the right but did so maintaining hand contact to the DB's upper body. All along the DB was ALSO maintain contact with the receiver.

It was an excellent no-call by the official, who had not called it tightly the entire game.

If the SF DBs had maintained contact anymore throughout that game, they could have opened a Velcro outlet.

It was a good game. Your team lost. (And got a huge break with that blackout when the momentum was clearly bad, bad juju for them. Even an SF fan would have to admit that.)
