This will be talked about for a long time. Not that it matters, each game has its own storyline, but somebody will pull this up and say that precedent has been set... And the NFL will laugh... But it's actually a good point that will be forgotten...

I was wondering if the refs no-called it because the all was so overthrown, but if the receiver wasn't being blatantly held it might've been catchable It would've been a tough catch at best since it was overthrown a bit, but he would've had a shot.

I think that since it was a fade pattern and the ball was just lobbed up there, Crabtree would have made the play if he hadn't been held.

If I were a 49er fan, I'd be livid over that, the crappy pass interference AGAINST the 49ers on the drive right before that kept that drive alive, and the non-call on the 2-point conversion where Ed Reed arrived in the backfield at the same time as the snap.
