Terrible play calling at end of game for 49er's

[yuca]

Only a moron would think that ball could have been caught in bounds.

You're absolutely right.

In a Week 9 game, or maybe even in the first quarter of that game, that probably gets a flag.

Not in the last minute of the Super Bowl though. Good no-call.

Perhaps. Had the play gotten a flag this time around, the refs would have essentially given the game to the 49ers. Given how much was at stake, and that the pass was uncatchable inbounds, the refs made the right (non) call.

On First Take, Eric Mangini is pontificating that the final play should have been a PI call! The other guy, Christian Fauria, is not blaming the referees citing consistency, etc.

If Mangina wants a PI call, he better expect it to be on Crabtree, since Crabtree pushed off while the ball was in the air.

His logic is really flawed! Christian Floria is recounting how he once complained about being held and his coach told him to "...do something about it and not let them get their hands on you!..."

Mangini and Skip Clueless are on the same side of this discussion. That should tell you something!

Peter King has some good tidbits in his MMQB column today about the back-and-forth between Harbaugh and Pees about the defensive calls on that last series of downs...
