Moral to the story: You can’t take a Jim Caldwell approach and stand there like statute. One need a Parcells approach where the HC is screaming at the officials about holding. I think (and hope) Dan Campbell is the latter.

So the refs screw the Lions again. Of course! It all makes sense now.

More than one way to screw a cat.

I’d be curious if someone went back and looked at every play hutch had so far this year how many were the arm across the neck ‘hold’ that goes uncalled.

I was thinking there were a lot of holds going on that weren’t being called.

Shoot i the Josh Allen run that put them in FG range to win the game the refs missed a blatent Facemask that should have been 15 yards

Yea, that was a rough one last night. All the money was on the Raiders to win, hence all the no calls on the holding. The Raiders also had an INT on the final drive wiped out, plus a free 15 yarder on the unsportsmanlike call, which was complete nonsense. Yet none of the holding was called.

I don’t like the Rams winning to screw up our pick but I have no issue with them not throwing that flag, it didn’t impeed Crosby from getting to Baker before he was throwing that ball anyways. That would have been a very ticky-tack call imo.

That comment was predicated solely upon the following from the article:
Also, the Raiders weren’t complaining nearly enough about it — same as the Saints weren’t on Monday night.
That’s really the lesson here. Whether it’s incompetence or a subconscious desire by the officials to have two-score games get and stay interesting late (or even a Tim Donaghy-type situation, which cannot be completely disregarded given the proliferation of legalized gambling — and we’re definitely not accusing any of the officials from either game of being corrupt), the team on the wrong side of uncalled holding needs to be making it known, loudly and clearly, that holding clearly is happening.

After Samkon Gado, the Calvin Johnson rule, the 2014 NFL playoff debacle and countless others, vs Dallas, I wouldn’t be upset. The NFL’s debt to Lions fans cannot be paid in this lifetime.
