While I was rooting for the 49ers, I'm not a full-time 49er fan, so I don't have a dog in this hunt. I thought it was holding, and should have been called. A call there would have given the 49ers first and goal on the two, and I think there's a very good chance they would have eventually scored and left the Ravens with little time to come back (unless they score on first down). I would have loved to see that play out, because Flacco had a tremendous postseason, and it wouldn't have shocked me at all to see him at least get the Ravens in position to attempt a field goal.

Was rooting for the Ravens but I can't see how that was NOT holding.
However, I don't think the ball was catchable (and it definitely was not "very catchable")-- it was pretty far out of bounds and I can't see how Crabtree would have been able to get both feet inbounds, assuming he was even able to get to the ball and make an amazing stretch.
So, even if the catchability of the ball is irrelevant to the holding call (only relevant if PI is called), I am glad the call was blown since I think the outcome was correct (i.e. I don't think Crabtree was going to make the catch and stay inbounds).
Plus, I really really dislike Jim Harbaugh. Just looking at his expressions on the sideline and the word "dooosh" to automatically comes to mind.
