Micah Parsons calls out Refs

[America's Cowboy]

Can't blame Micah. He was literally being held so many times against the Rams, yet the officials hardly threw any flags on them Rams linemen for holding. These holds might even have contributed to Micah injuring his groin.



Does Micah have a case to call out the Refs, or does he simply need to be quiet?

The Rams were called for holding. Not as often as they actually held, but to say none were called is inaccurate.

Refs need to be called out

especially after the atlanta game......NFL needs to acknoledge that its an issue and fine or suspend refs

 

[ScipioCowboy]

When I picture holding, it usually involve a tug on the jersey. It might help if we establish specific parameters for holding.

 

[Denim Chicken]

It was egregious. He was being held almost every play.

I edited my opening statement.

 

[Runwildboys]

The officials didn't call it enough to make the Rams even want to stop doing it.

It needs to be pointed out every time he’s held and it isn’t called. Maybe eventually they’ll feel pressure to start calling them.

 

[ChuckA1]

He is such a leader and awesome player, I'd say no, don't call out the refs. Do your communication on the field

Refs are graded every game. When teams start fining and suspending players for missing tackles or blocks, then we can talk about refs for missing calls.

Squeaky wheel...

Its an unfortunate reality that players have to work the refs. Its why flopping is a thing in soccer and basketball.

Micah has got held a ridiculous amount this year. Just call it the same both ways. Dallas is getting held a LOT more on defense than they are holding on offense and the called penalties don't reflect that.

 

[Havic]

Micah gets held ALOT, only a handful if that are called.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Hell yea.........take a look at how they are treating Brady

 

[Brooksey]

They only missed 6 holding calls minimum

See above picture provided by the OP. The offensive lineman is clearly beat, but Parsons still can't get to the QB. Why is that?

Sad but soooo true!

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

I get the frustration, but they’ll just fine the hell out of him for bringing it up and nothing will change because of it

This is where the coaches need to come in pre game. Do like Belicheck did last year when he told the refs to watch for holding by Connar Williams and he got all those tic tac calls. Put it in their head and it’s gonna be harder to miss!

 

[BrassCowboy]

one negative about calling out the refs is the unspoken repercussions that may come your way and/or the teams.....
