I thought the foul was a dead ball foul and not declinable to begin with. Everyone I was with while watching the gsme, had the same response. I don't get why they would complain about that or the officials even allowed it to be reviewed.
YouTube - Ray Lewis calls officiating 'Embarassing'
Those ticky-tacky calls may be "correct," but you literally cannot touch Tom Brady now without expecting a penalty. The guys are just expressing their frustration at Brady basically being untouchable in every single way, and even as New England fans, I don't think you can deny that.
Ngata reached his hands out to try to bat the ball down, which, by the way, is usually next to the quarterback's head right before being thrown. . .
Also, how often do you see a coach being flagged in football? Harbaugh wasn't publicly showing up the referees, but they actually called a personal foul on him anyway.
The spots were pretty bad too.
The bad officiating undoubtedly went both ways, but Baltimore got the shaft more often than New England.
Wasn't a dead ball. Somehow the Refs gave the Pats a first down on that play and then enforced the penalty. Surprising because the refs didn't seem concerened with the spot of the end of the play.
Harbaugh questioned that there was a first down. He wanted to decline the penalty and take over on downs, which looks like what should have happened.

Which is exactly why Mike Wright got flagged for touching Joe Flacco's face. But no, it's only Brady right?
1. Isn't illegal formation always a dead ball foul? Also, are you saying that the Pats got a first and then had the penalty assessed giving them a 1st-and-15?
2. I have no idea why people are saying he didn't get the first. He reached a few feet past the marker before he hit the ground. Unless I saw the wrong six replays.
1. No it's not always a dead ball foul. The penalty is assessed after the play. If the QB is sacked, the D can take the sack.
2. I agree. I can't say where the ball went out but I do know that both of his feet were in bounds when he reached for the ball. It's impossible to say where that ball went out and the booth didn't see it either.
Although I think Ed Reed is a bigger chump than Ray Lewis for what he said about the spots, I do agree with Reed that the NFL should be PRECISE. There should be sensors around the field letting us know where the ball went out of bounds in that situation.

Good info on #1, although I'm having a hard time remembering the last time I saw it. Then again, I'm 108 years old.
Regardless, I'm sick and goddamn tired of teams who always blame the refs when they lose. It used to be the Chargers, but the Ravens have taken the torch.
"I'm happy with the win but I think we have lot to improve on. We gave up too many big plays and couldn't get off the field on third down. We did a lot of things that good defense don't do so we have a lot of work to do."
It was a presnap penalty. I may have the rules wrong. I will admit that.
The call was right though. Eventhough Baker's body was out of bounds, none of his body touched the ground until the ball got passed the first down marker while in bounds. The ball carrier isn't out of bounds until a part of his body touches the ground out of bounds or the ball goes out of bounds. You see players getting TDs all the time like this where they are going out of bounds and he stretches his arm so the ball goes inside the pilons. The call was right even if it looked wrong.
