Micah Parsons has had enough. It’s been 30-plus quarters since the NFL’s preeminent pass rusher has seen a holding call made against an opponent trying to block him. Things haven’t changed in their Week 16 game against the Miami Dolphins.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, now he’s getting hit with roughing the passer penalties …
At least for this week
We now have multiple threads on how the refs favor the Cowboys and how they actively work against the Cowboys and no one but me is pointing out the irony.
I wonder how much of the Cowboys issues with penalties are on the road as opposed to at home where they’ve been scoring 39.9 points per game.
Is the success of the Cowboys offense at home masking the problem or is there truly a home-away dichotomy with how penalties are called against the Cowboys?
Historically, at least vs Detroit, I don’t watch them enough vs others, the refs have favored the Cowboys, as of late that trend seems to be changing from what I read here and elsewhere.
Me every time Cowboys fans complain:
So def expecting like 3-4 holding penalties next week against the Leos driven by Parsons
I think that’s a penalty. He saw him throw it and the ball leave his hand and still needed a step or two before he hit Tua in the back. Micah has to be smarter than that.
Someone might have something to say about that because, well, holding is unnecessary when you’re this good
Well here come the holding calls in bunches Saturday
Next we will have articles stating home team stadium disagreed with all calls against the home team.
Guess who the cowboys play next week. Thats right the lions. Im thinking there will be 3 or 4 holding calls on us next week. Nfl seems to not like calling it anymore. Just wait and watch the holds on this week
It’s not just Parsons. I believe the NFL is doing everything they can to help the offense. You increase scoring and limit QB hits by slowing down the pass rush. Would be interesting to see how many holding calls the top pass rushers have gotten this year.
I was thinking the same thing. That ball was gone for a couple steps.
Penei Sewell is the Bret Hart of RTs:
Stafford said, “home cooking, huh?”
He’s from the Dallas area.
As weak of a call it is. And i hate the rule.
He DID lead with the helmet.
Yes his hands “hit first” but the mass of his body. His helmet hit Tua first. Thats the rule.

C - “A defensive player must not use his helmet against a passer who is in a defenseless posture”
Good call. I thought it was a penalty too on that one.
I think there are 2 topics—
On the first topic I have intense feelings and opinions.
On the second topic I truly could not care less.
