Did anyone get the impression that the game seemed slanted to Baltimore. Specifically the ball placement and lack of defensive holding penalties on Baltimore? I didnt care who won it just seemed that way to me.

Thats one of the main problems with todays Football. Everyone always looking for stupid ticky tack penelties to decide games, rather than letting the players decide the outcome.
If there was any conspiracy Theory likely it was not the officials.
A more likely senerio is that Peyton Manning used his over rated league status, like when they changed the rules for him, to sabatage the stadium lighting to stop the Ravens momentum to help allow the 49ers to come back. His motive of coarse was being bounced once again from the playoffs despite home field throughout by Baltimore.
Crazy? Yes, but No more ridiculos than the original post.

All too often you post snide remarks and have this holier than thou attitude about a sport you probably never played. Maybe to you my post was ridiculous but that's how I saw the game. For you to knock Peyton Manning shows what little you actually know about the game that others here think that you are an expert in. I, for one, think you are blowhard.
I thought that SF just made a few mistakes early that cost them. The first play nice pass 20 yard gain called back for holding. They ended up 3 n out and Balt got the ball at midfield and scored on a nice drive.Kap threw int., KO return and the fumble at the Balt 25 were costly.I think the officials let them play a little more then usual but I think that is better because I hate every little touching a receiver call. It was a great game coming down to the last drive.I did not like SF play calling at the end but it is easy for me because it did not work but I would have ran gore at least once if not twice against a tired Balt defense.
