a hold is a hold
if that was a bad call than so is every holding call, including all the ones called on the steelers yesterday

I think the referees did a good job in evening out the penalties and no-calls. First, the hold on the Rice TD run was pure horseshit. Secondly, the referees blowing the whistle before Rice fought his way into the endzone on a second effort was horseshit also. Lastly, the grabbing of the jersey by Taylor(or was it Gay?) on the long deep pass was not called. All of this occurred in the first half.
So no....the Ravens DIDN'T get every call during the game so try to look at it both ways. Blame the Steelers on their inability to get off the field after 3rd down because they couldn't stop the Ravens from converting when it counted. And Flacco deserves high praise for that last drive. When he's operating in the shotgun or spread offense, he's among the best in the NFL and last night proved that.
By no means do I think the Steelers are buried. The Ravens have a possible trap game in Seattle coming up along with a showdown with the Bengals in two weeks.
