The Punt Return

[cursona pirate]

Was the call correct?

[Sub-Zero]

no

[Ed_Reed20]

I think the ref could have held his flag but he chose to throw it. Had Boldin hung onto the ball that hit him in the chest, it would have been an non-issue.

[jimmypowder]

There was no hold there . I watched it 5 times. The refs blew the call
and possible cost us the game.

[cursona pirate]

It was a touchdown

[BloodRaven]

It cost us 4 points, which wasn't enough to win the game.

Whoever Smith was blocking got blocked to the ground. If anything, Smith got dragged down. Big call and a bad one at that.

exactly.....

[Mount-Cody]

The holding call on Cody was just dumb

[catty112]

absolutely not. That was a pancake block and a horrible holding call by the refs

[cursona pirate]

I wish u can challenge flags

[reediddy]

Not holding

[catty112]

You can say that since we lost by 7 and this would have only given us 4 more points it's a non issue, but you're wrong. This was a momentum shifter and would have gotten the D pumped to keep pushing

Exactly

The amount of times the Ravens have lost to the Steelers due to BS penalties like the pancake block hold, and the phantom defensive holding (really refs, you think people will believe defensive holding? lol). Plus all the no calls on the late hits and the headbutting Clark gave to Housh always leads me to believe there is more to it than just the game.

Anyway, guess I'll wait til next year to see the Ravens collapse again.

[RAVEN63]

Same bullcrap.
The close game in pittsburgh and the calls will go their way!!!
Im sick!

Football isn't math, and those of you calling it like that are embarrassing yourselves.

[Irish Girl]

Here's another cheap reason why the Steelers won. I'm so tired of them winning out of luck and crap calls, football shouldn't be played like that. That was the dumbest call I've ever seen, and that's another video Harbaugh should send in to the NFL.

[PuRock]

It could've been called, but the game was on the line. The refs should've let the boys play.

Webb would've made it around that DBag anyways. Marcus, Marcus, Marcus. Have we not learned? Don't hold guys!

Absolutely horrible call. Arms out in front within his shoulders, no way! That and that BS def holding call supports conspiracy theory. You hate to make excuses but in tight games, these are big issues.

[Troy is my boy!]

It's always the refs that lose the game for you guys. Not the fumble, not the interception, not the dropped passes. Boo hoo the refs gave it to the Steelers, you should be embarrassed.

Tell me, would you post if we won? The Steelers were given questionable calls all around. I had friends who hate the Ravens state that the refs were paid. It's a joke man. You're team is beyond lucky, now get lost

[Troy is my boy!]

Every year it's the same thing, just man up like Ray and Suggs and give credit for a change. It was a hard battle, but the Steelers brought it in the second half.

Yes those things were part of the loss, but refs did not have to assist. That is the problem.

[Romo Ravens]

Steelers don't deserve any credit. Not when trolls come in and bash the Ravens. Not when the refs keep giving you calls. Not when we beat ourselves. Your team isn't making it past NE. Cherish this win, because you'll be sitting at home just like us. Your team is nothing special

[rvngirl]

I'm starting to belive that the NFL has teams that want to see in the Super Bowl and the Ravens aren't one of them.....

[Troy is my boy!]

I admit it, you're right, the Steelers sucked tonight and the refs gave them the win. The Ravens deserved it more, oh well, maybe next year…if the refs don't blow all the calls again.

Who's bashing the Ravens?

[XxSizzleXx]

It was a huge flop.

[TXRaven]

I could not see a hold. I did see bad technique. I think the flag was thrown because the extended arms outside the shoulders gave the appearance of a hold. Damn that call really hurt, but so did the Boldin dropped TD the Houch dropped 1st down on the final drive the Rice fumble, the Flacco pick and the Bad Birk snap. We dropped this one as a team. No one person is to blame.
