That "blown call" doesn't change the fact that the Rams were asleep most of that game. Again teams have plenty of chances to beat the Patriots. They aren't invincible. The Patriots could have lost in the AFC Championship game. They didn't, largely because of the Chiefs and repeated errors.

Also doesn't change the fact that the Rams were only in the Super Bowl because of a more egregious blown PI call.

Did they ever go back and say they blew it when Crabtree was held on 4th and goal against the Ravens?

Point is, it doesn't matter. It's a judgement call they missed. Has happened in every other super bowl, too. There were plenty of other plays before and after that decided the outcome.
In light of the changes to replay the league had to give examples of calls that would have been impacted. I ageee that they should comment on that Crabtree one.

Cause for replay there’s how the game has been called the refs up to them and how one is supposed to call the play.

A lot of missed calls during games, it happens, a lot of the time other things and not missed calls determine games. I'd like to see better reffing though so these mistakes don't happen so often.

that NFCC crew blew a lot of calls both ways, they'll just be remembered for the one, though

Yea because it absolutely denied one team their victory. (EDIT: yes I am aware they had an opportunity in OT which they ultimately blew but the point is they should not have been in that situation to begin with. Had the refs made that very simple and extremely obvious call the game is virtually over.) Bad calls happen every game to every team but that call was egregiously foul in the worst possible way. Don't attempt to make light of it because there were other miss calls

This one clearly had no impact on the game. The Rams had so many drives and came up with nothing. They needed a pedestrian 14 points to win the game and they couldn't do it.

Oh well. Pats got jobbed on the Corey Clement TD in the SB before that. It all evens out.
