Is this the still pick of Irving being held during the playoff game. The play rogers threw the pass to get them in fg range. We missed going to OT because of this. And Byron being out of position.
The image @CowboysRule posted is an illustration of something that occurred during a set play. In your opinion based on the still image, would you say:
Dudebro has him in a sleeper hold though...not just a hand on his shoulder.
I looked up how many holding calls were made on teams in 2018 and NE had the 12th most; GB was 16th.
In 2018, NE was 12th in holding calls. Not at the top but certainly more than most. Here’s a good website to track penalties: http://www.nflpenalties.com/penalty/offensive-holding?year=2018
Maybe a hunt began yesterday to find video, containing that particular still photo, to serve as a future counter-argument that there was no foul committed. If so, Dean Blandino would be proud.
The Cowboys Dline was wearing Packer's Oline like jackets a couple of years ago in that infamous playoff loss.
When the OL is behind the DL but is somehow holding him back should be a pretty clear indicator, not to mention his arm wrapped around his neck? Did Irving decide to walk in place for no reason?
That was a little excessive but I am guilty of not being specific in my previous reply. My reply was concerning the still photo. I have no comment or interest about pass interference or facemask penalty scenarios that you have alluded to. My response was solely concerning offensive lineman holding as per the still photo, provided by @CowboysRule , I specified earlier.
In closing, it does not matter now whether you offer an opinion or not since an unnecessary (my opinion) clarification was later needed.
