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.
