the refs did let them play, one of my sons said they were afraid of making a call that would decide the game.

My sons and I saw over 30 bad calls against the Ravens.

we didn't see one bad call made against the 49ers. <GGG>

Before the game, I heard on local talk radio that the crew chief's usual crew had the highest number of holding calls of any in the league. However, that doesn't break it down by official but, still, it was a huge concern how tight the game might be called because of that one guy. My guess is that everyone agreed to lay off flags wherever possible. I'm sure the Ravens had similar holds against them not called, but nothing of the sort in the end zone of a potential game winning drive which all anyone will remember.
