The point is that the refs should do their job. It was holding on the pass play. The refs should have picked up the flag in the interference call that kept the Ravens drive going earlier. That ball was uncatchable. Makes the NFL look like the NBA.

Not to mention the Raven's right tackle moving before the snap on a dozen plays (no flag). Or, the numerous times a Raven's DB hit a SF receive AFTER the play was over (including one play that Crabtree was helmet slapped by two Ravens with a ref standing right in front of it) (no flags). Then, there's the Offensive PI that wasn't called. The failure to call roughing when the Raven's hit Akers with his foot in the air. The three plays on the SF final drive when #91 hit Kaepernick AFTER he had gotten rid of the ball, where #91 needed to take multiple steps in order to hit him. And, the icing on the cake - the PI in the endzone against Crabtree (PI because the ball was in the air when the Raven's DB had hold of Crabtree with both arms).

If this wasn't a case of the NFL selecting the winner, I don't know what it was. I guess the NFL felt more moved by the thug-to-golden boy story they created around Ray Lewis - created, but not true. I am done with the NFL. My time and money can be better spent elsewhere.
