I saw at least 4 holds around the necks of players that were not called. I am not one that complains about officials, but even my wife was like ***? All 4 were clear as day and not called. They ended up as big plays for the Bears. So happy the NFL got in bed with Vegas. Sigh...

Jeez, you guys. Again? Here's a picture. Is this along the lines of what you're talking about? Because it's actually not holding.

Was that a hold at the 40 second mark in the 2nd quarter on the td play for the Bears? Just curious if you saw that.

Who are you pretending got held on that play? I literally just looked at it and nothing.

I watched the youtube game highlights and one hold, among the rest, really stood out to me.
Bears TE #88 grabbed Micah and pulled him to the ground on a TD.

Not sure, but I think all the non-calls are the reason we see Micah so upset on sidelines the last three or four games.

Happens @ 9:21

Yup, 100%. Virtual Reality, or interesting "scripts" invades our Sundays far too often.

Give him a few hours, the guy's gotta get a little sleep! You can count on MarcusRock to show up and do his job! He'll defend Uncle Goodell and the money-games of the league, as always.

No matter how laughable his posts are...he keeps on dishing. Gotta admire a man doing his job, I guess:rolleyes:, no matter the depths it takes him. :eek:

They're definitely relaxing the holding guidelines lately for offenses. Using the arm bar is one thing , but not for a extended period

Micah said something on Twitter about a penalty not being called because he was away from the ball. That is fine but all I ask for is consistency because in a big game you can guarantee none of the calls will go in Dallas' favor.

It's very much holding it was just in theory preceded by an act that negated them calling it holding.

If the official views that the player used a rip move then by rule is okay not to call holding and it looks as though the offensive lineman can do almost anything they want at that point.

There is also plenty of holding that is not called with no rip move involved.
