Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sorry to start a thread on this, but I want to see what you all think:Did anyone see the two OBVIOUS holds by two Ravens while trying to protect the punter on the intentional safety play?It was pretty evident the holds were intentional. The thing is, under my understanding, a holding in the endzone ends in a safety...so if the 49ers were intentionally trying to get a safety there's no point in throwing a flag.Did the officials know that was coming and not call it? The holds allowed for the punter to putz around in the endzone for some extra seconds before running out. If all of that was planned it was genius. Discuss.

njmeadowlanders Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I didn't see anything fishy but I only saw it once at full speed.It was 100% the right decision to take the safety for sure. A miracle FG still wouldn't beat you (OT would be the worst case there) and you can punt from a better position and not have a rush to worry about a blocked punt for a TD.

Cujo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Regardless of holding on a stupid punt/safety with :04 on the clock, the 49ers were done at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't think the point of the thread was to cry "conspiracy". There is no reason for the Ravens not to hold there. The objective is to waste as much time as they can. The hold, as mentioned above, does not blow the play dead. I don't know why it was not flagged (because it was quite obvious), but had it been, it would have been declined. If SF accepts a penalty there, then the re-snap the ball from the 2.5 and the Ravens run the clock out before taking another safety.Intentional hold? Yes. And smart.

CS85 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Holding on the punt = OH NO WE GIVE THEM AN AUTOMATIC SAFETY (on a play designed to get a safety)So who cares?

Lights Out Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Did you also see the 15 obvious holds that San Francisco committed but were never called?Was just coming in here to post that. The refs were just garbage across the board - there's a reason why Boger's grades had to be changed by the league for him to be allowed to ref this game.I'm just wondering why everybody wanted the regular refs to come back so badly.

Fifty8_Black O Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I for one thought it was an incredible moment of smart coaching. A hold results in a safety (which was the plan) but doesn't stop the play so why not just bear hug all the defenders and let time run out. Awesome move by the former special teams guru John.

Kevin W. Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The penalty for holding in the end zone is a safety so the result of the play wouldn't have changed.
