It was sickening to watch.

Please, that ball was secure the entire time on the TD catch, not even close to a bobble. The officials mistake was not calling "ticky-tack" flags at the end of the game, but not calling them THROUGHOUT the game as receivers were consistently tackled, held and molested all over the field. The Ravens are an undisciplined team and this is what happens to undisciplined teams, they played well enough to win during much of the game, but blew it when it counted. For them to bitch about the officiating takes away from their performance. Any unbiased observer who watched the Pats/Colts game, or the Pats/Philly game certainly knows that the Patriots have had ample terrible officiating go against them, but they never mentioned it.
