[Colts fans out of Indy]

Colts fan in SF Bay Area. I started following the Colts only this past year when Andrew Luck got drafted, and I'm loving the organization so far!

No, he turned up field. Not illegal to hit in that situation because he is a runner.

Since he turned up field or made a "football move" and if that hit was actually legal, why wasn't it called as a completed pass and fumble?

 

[Jim Harbaugh protests non-call: 'There was a hold']

My response to a couple of things mentioned in this thread:

 

A) The blackout did not help SF. It occured during their possession on a crucial third down-- taking away from the chances of building momentum. After the lights came back on, they did not convert on third down and lost possession of the ball. It was later that they rallied. If anything, the blackout hurt their chances of continuing their drive.

 

B) The refs were letting a lot of contact go all game. However, they did call pass interference against the Niners (Culliver) on a questionable call, extending the Raven's drive, leading to a TD. They also let a blatant offensive pass interference go (Torrey Smith), who prevented an interception, extending a drive that led to a Raven's TD. There was a blatant hold on the play where the punter held the ball to run out the clock, which was not called. Carey Williams shoved the ref with both hands and nothing was called. And finally Crabtree was held on the final play and again there was no call. To be honest, the calls were going one way-- all against SF.

 

Everyone is focusing on Jim Harbaugh's reaction to the final play, but failing to realise that the anger was from a culmination of missed calls. It was so frustrating seeing blatant holds, pass interference, etc... and not receiving any calls. It would be one thing if the Ravens too, did not get these calls, but they did. I don't blame Jim for being as angry as he was. His team played against the Ravens and the refs.

I agree. Also, one of the most blatant non-call was from the kickoff return for the touchdown. 

Watch this and skip to 1:00 and you will see that two ravens players were holding on to #49 for more than 5 seconds. I have no idea how the refs couldn't see that...

Even if there was holding on that play it didn't matter, it was a safety, it was a smart move to hold, what is the worst that can happen?

Yes, it was a smart move to hold. What bothered be was the Refs' didn't make an effort to at least call it! The game is STILL going on, and I don't get why they didn't just call it...

49ers had many opportunities to win the game, but they did not take advantage of it. It was mostly their fault for not winning this game. However, when I was watching the game, I noticed the refs were pretty one-sided. 

One obvious blatant no call was from the kickoff return for the touchdown.

If you watch the 1 minute mark of the replay, you can see 2 ravens holding on to #49. This was so obvious and I have no idea why they didn't call it back. I watched this on a 32 inch tv and I was able to see it!

Also, Crabtree gets helmet to helmet on the last drive.

No offsides on Ed Reed during the 2 pt conversion? 
No holding on that safety? 
 

[Not quite the hit on Shareece Wright, but a nice tackle none the less.]

I hope we play the Chargers soon so I can see Luck's Big Hit #2!
