Any guesses why no holding calls involving Parsons?

It has become blatantly obvious that Parsons is being held on a huge number of plays and officials refuse to call it. One in particular was the sack Parsons got on Hurts and Lane Johnson had in him in a bear hug for 10 yards. Lane had his arms around Parsons, a bear hug, holding him from the get go to to the qb and Parsons still sacked Hurts. It was blatant, obvious, and egregious. It can be nothing other than corruption or incompetence. To say that Parsons has not done enough to get the calls falls in the corruption category because this would suggest officials see the hold but refuse to call it because Parsons is not the player that merits consideration. On the other hand, not one of the 7 officials on the field observed the hold, at the point of attack, with the ball in Hurts hands, and Johnson with Parsons in a bear hug grip and that is not incompetence????? There are dozens of other examples, including a hands to face that was not called on Philly agains Parsons but called against Parsons on an earlier play. None of this is making sense.

Uh, volume as the excuse...not infraction.

Fan level blame...trying to keep a Cowboy from setting a sack record in a single season.

Makeup calls for all the garbage calls they gave us?

Or....maybe the officials are so old....they simply don't see anything that's happening at high speed well, and concentrate on slow moving things like the KC offsides that ended the game on the Kelce pass

Either way....there will always be missed calls in every game for both teams....but in this case we definitely got the "home cooking" help from the refs

It's kind of comical at this point. There was one on Sunday night where the OT literally yanked his shirt and you could see it getting pulled and in the background of the one clip, the official appears to be starting right at it. Nothing.

He's still arguably one of the 3-4 most productive edge guys in the NFL so it's not exactly hurting him that much it appears. He's still destroying OL.

It is not some missed calls, there are no holding calls and not even the most egregious a la Lane Johnson bear hug hold that was blatant, obvious, and egregious.

It is hurting Dallas because there are games where holds are occurring and it would have been 3 and out and the other team scores. So it is hurting our chances of winning some games and will as long as this goes on. There is no argument here that this is not going on and blatantly so.

Having your performance, or lack thereof, questioned and ridiculed post game by a particular player tends to upset refs. Maybe Parsons should keep his critiques to himself and play ball. The calls will come.

It is hurting him. It's holding him back stat wise, literally. He would most likely be leading the league in sacks if not for this garbage.
