Looked fine to me, Crabtree was fine with getting jammed at the line by Smith and then had his hand on Smith's helmet after the legal 5 yds.
Here's the hold/no call.

Once the ball is in the air (even if it in the first 5 yards), the dback has to release, which he didn't. Obvious hold. The more egregious no-call was the hit to the head on a defenseless receiver the down before.
That said, congrats Ravens. I don't know why we didn't try to punch it in once or twice through the run game.

I stopped watching after Beyonce and decided to go grocery shopping. I stopped at a bbq place with the game on for a quick bite before heading to the close by grocery store. At that point SF was about to score to make it an 8 point game.
I was like, 'how the fuck did this happen?"
Then I learned about this:
Good game. I would have liked to see the outcome if one of the four personal fouls on the Ravens for hitting/punching after the play was over were called in the first half, or if the one dude had gotten ejected for pushing the official, or if the offside on the 2-point try had been called.
The blackout was proof-positive that Super Bowls should be played outdoors, in the weather with early-afternoon kickoff. Power outages would be irrelevant then.

I've watched the replay several times and it's tough to tell if the ball would have been in a position to keep both feet in bounds, but without a doubt it was a hold, "incidental contact" is more like feet getting tangled, the defender had both arms around the receiver. After watching every SB I've come to the conclusion the ref's have a "let 'em play" attitude and you've got to build a big enough lead to offset the non-calls, heck the "helmet catch" had several offensive holding non-calls but at the end of the day the Pat's needed more than a 3 point lead to secure a win and that's on them, not the ref's..
9ner fans crying about the no call that might have cost them the game but didnt say anything about the same no call that happened against the falcons that let them win.
There were punching and hitting on both sides, not just ravens. Obvious biasness in your comment.
Reed was not offsides on the 2pt conversion. He jumped right on the snap and can be seen in slow motion instant replay. It is risky to jump on a hard count.
No one pushed an official... the most I seen was when the big scuffle of like 5 players from each side started going at it, 1 raven pulled the ref back as he got too close to it and may have gotten hit accidentally.

Stupid playing calling on the last series by SF. On the five, they should have run it on all downs. On 2nd and 3rd when the Ravens weren't blitzing on the left side, a naked bootleg would have been an easy score. Stupid to pass with no play or draw action.
Congrats to the Ravens. As a Niners fan I really hope they don't bring Moss back, so many plays I saw him quit/half ass it. Last chance at a ring IN THE SB and you do that shit? Fuck off, you aren't the greatest WR, hell he's not even the best WR to wear that damn number. Just sucks their other two WR's were injured so they didn't have a choice.
Also we have to do something with our secondary, can't give up stupid plays like that, teams seem to pass on us so easily. But I could just be spoiled with how well our run defense is.

if only they knew the ravens weren't going to blitz that side before the play happened....
damn, maybe they should have learned from Belicheat.
