The NFL has always hated the 49ers. The KC QB throws two picks in the SB and he's anointed the greatest of all-time. Two Super Bowls we should've won but didn't. I don't know if the refs called the game against us or not. All I have to do is watch the holds on the 2nd half kickoff of the Ravens game and the 11 holds on the safety at the end of the game. How many holding calls against KC? I get very bitter and then go back to "there will be no 3peat".
But it was a close game and Jimmy couldn't complete the easy passes the 49ers needed to seal the deal. Blaming refs is bush league. Bad calls happen all season long in many games. A few bad calls or missed holding calls didn't cost them the win in the super bowl. They had many chances to win. Moseley got torched, Ward, Sherm and Tartt got schooled deep in the 4th quarter by a much superior quarterback. It is what it is.
