Intiate contact with the defender then try to move off for the ball with the ref watching the whole thing. Seems like a botched play also, if the route is run better at the start the throw comes sooner? Crabtree pushes Smith for a few seconds backwards before he tries to break for the side. Stutter step then sprint for the fade?

The last play had no time because someone came through the line untouched.

Yeah, just saw that also. Throw wasn't great then from the blitz. I was just focusing on the crabtree/smith part. Crabtree doesn't do much except run right into Smith.

A very good break down of the endzone play with Crabtree. You can see him clearly pushing off on Smith as well so I'll have to stand with it being a good no-call in that situation.


I like what this one 49ers fan said.

I haven't been on /r/nfl since the game, I'm disappointed to learn that this was a thing and our fans are complaining about it.

There was contact from both guys, and the call could've gone either way, I have no problem with the no call. I'm more upset with the play calling - We had 4 chances inside the 10 yard line, we have one of the best running offenses in the league, and Ngata was hurt. Run the damn ball!

Clearly contact from both guys involved, and the ball wasn't even catchable which probably played into the refs thinking. Good non-call.

I'll say it again I was very impressed with the refs and how they let the players play.

Jim Harbaugh definition of "class and grace" is weird. Him and Bill Belicheat must have similar definitions of the words.

Of all people, 49er fans (especially that bitch Jim Harbaugh) should stop talking about a missed call. Last I recall, didn't they win the NFC championship game on this 4th down play?

You have to admit, some of those calls were a little weak. lol.

[mredskins]

It was the play calling to not run with either Gore or Kap keeping it at least once in the four tries was just plain dumb. Especially Ngata out; what a damn no brainier.

Whit runs hos route right where Bowman is standing. It's football, people to make contact with one another. That play was a good no call.

Another reason to appreciate John Harbaugh is how brilliantly he coached the safety play. Not only was it the right call, but it was executed perfectly with shrewd coaching, running the clock all the way down the four seconds.

I'm positive Harbaugh told all his players to hold the 49ers defenders and there were at least 4-5 holding penalties that should have been called on the Ravens (including at least on blatent tackle), but since they would only have resulted in a safety (which was the goal anyway) and not any change to the kicking position, the holds effectively ran about five extra seconds off the clock and kept the 49ers from running an offensive play.

Brilliant call by a coach who knows his stuff.

Someone else who agrees already put the play to music:

Yeah, I'm not a Jim Harbaugh fan because he so often acts in such classless ways.

Good no-call, like the SB 4th down.

2 flags during play on ravens and 2 on 49ers. I don't think they called definaive holding once. I love when refs let them play. Blaming the refs means you lost
