Obviously, if it happened against my team I would be signing a different story, but good no call!

Only 5 total penalties called the whole game. The play calling was terrible on the last series...4 downs from the 7 and you don't run Gore or Kap even once? That and mistakes cost the 49ers..

I didn't know shoving a ref was now allowed however...I thought even putting your hands on one was cause for ejection.

the pick isn't the best since the raven player is looking in a different direction, he may have just reacted. I don't know.

But I definately agree on the play calling on the first and goal. The play that Gore scored on was executed to perfection and Kapernick's running ability on a naked bootleg he would have had a better chance, imo.

4. Good non call

It could even have been called as offensive pass inteference. They were pushing and shoving each other, which happens every play.

#29 did not push the ref. He was flailing when the ref came in to corral him, and he stopped as soon as he recognized the striped shirt.

If the 49ers had not allowed a 28-3 lead in the first half none of this trivia would matter. The refs did not cost San Francisco the game.

and clearly Cary Williams pushes the ref out of the way.. Look to the left side..



That is grounds for an automatic ejection..

8. Crabtree was being held... his only option was to try to fight off the hold and get to the ball

if he had gone to the ground, the ref would have had no choice but to call the penalty
