I really wanted the Ravens to lose badly.

But the Niners coaching staff really choked on those last 4 plays. Why did they not spread the line and make the Ravens spread the defense to set up gaps for a run-pass option?

All Kap had to do is make 1 man miss or suck him in thinking run, leaving a receiver wide open.

Instead they went with tight formations making things easier for the Ravens defense. Even though I wanted a call, it should not have come to that.

It was a good non call.

The only time a call like that is made in that situation is if it were the Patriots on defense.

The SF play calling in that situation was horendous at best. Talk about pissing away a chamionship.

then don't watch

65 points and 589 passing yards between the 2 teams......I guess they're really crappy at this illegal contact crap

Of course I'm going to watch...I'm a lifelong NFL fan and I'll die one...that doesn't mean that I have to swallow this bull***** they're trying to peddle as an on the level sporting contest, like some mongoloidal lemming.

It is what it is.

Not you in response to your primary question here......HORRIBLE game changing Non-call. Now your friends are also right imho in that the playcalling deep in the red zone on the last series was DEPLORABLE......Just can't believe a coach of Jim Harbaugh's reputation allowed that kind of blundering debacle to occur. I could see Norv Turner or Rod Rust going to the well over and over like that....But Harbaugh from what I hear from the mediots is too smart to have done that idiotic playcalling....or IS he that good or smart?

I think that this "Was" Baltimore's year to win one. Nice story letting the murderer get a ring before he rides off into the sunset.....etc etc....Just like in 07 it was God-dell's plan to make sure the Gints won the SB....the blatant non calls in that one ...especially the horrific holds applied to Seymour, Warren, and Green ...despite them having Gomer in the clutch for what seemed like forever in Football "protect the QB" time....were HORRIFIC. The NFL is getting like the WWF.....predictable and scripted. There is NO WAY a ref that is standing right there missed that kind of blatant bull#hit......

QUOTE=DarrylStingley;3366947]Is it me or was that a HORRENDOUS, EPIC terrible non-call?

I have friends telling me that you need to let the players play and the refs made the right decision. That the Ravens outplayed them and the Niners play calling on the last drive was bad, so it was kind of OK that the zebra swallowed his whistle.

I think my friends are nuts. Like totally nuts.

What say Pats Fans?[/QUOTE]

You are right....They let that blatant helmet to helmet go!!!....and don't even get me started on the lineman from Balt SHOVING THE REF about 5 feet and getting NO PUNISHMENT!!!! The fix was in on this one folks....there was NO way that SF was going to come out of that game with a win if it was close....or they did not simply blow the ratbirds away....TOO MANY blatant bad calls or non calls in this one to not think this game was practically "Pre-determined"

As to the Niners Harbaugh, I have a friend who knows him.

This is one weird dude. Not a bad dude. Not a dumb man by any means.

But he's very strange. And I dunno, I can see that strangeness having an impact on him in such an intense, late game situation.

That doesn't mean the call wasn't CRAZY WRONG, of course.

I still say it was.

DarrylStingley

No doubt, but that doesn't make the officiating any less deplorable.
