Micah the mistreated superstar

[Risen Star]

So I can't link the tweet because of the rules here but Michael Gehlken just tweeted out that after a review of every holding penalty Cowboys defenders have drawn this year Micah Parsons has gotten just two and none in the last five games.

Superstar treatment he is not getting from the officials. There's holding on every play but this man gets mugged most of every game.

Maybe this is consistent with the other star pass rushers around the league I don't know but it needs to be looked at by the league. Offenses have enough of an advantage.

..sure hope he starts getting more calls, as we go forward.

I think they just want to give offensive linemen a chance and not have Micah hit the QB on every pass play.

It’s almost like the refs giving OL players a handicap like in golf.

They can’t block parsons without being given some leniency on holding calls.

I said this in a similar thread..... the Earth will enter it's next ice age, which could be about 50,000 years from now, before the NFL ever gets up off their butts to address the poor officiating.

Micah is literally getting tackled by an offensive lineman (or two of them) for half of the game and for whatever reason, rarely draws a flag. You can watch it happen on a down by down basis. I really don't understand it.

By the letter if the law they could call 2 or 3 different Holds on any given pass play....including when we're on offense and we're "holding" (by the rules book) the other teams pass rushers.

Sure....a robot ref might award Parsons 30 hold calls. But the robot refs would also award Bosa or Reddick 30 Holds when they are pass rushing us.

So we just have to decide if we want a game with 100 penalties...half of which will be on us.

I was told we don't get unfairly treated by refs.

The guy still has 11.5 sacks and leads the NFL in pressure rate per snap. Imagine what those numbers would be if he wasn't getting mugged so often.

 

[BossRhino]

They've taken away 2.5 sacks from Micah Parsons this year. He'd be the sack leader right now. I'm sure some random dude like Danielle Hunter from Minnesota will rack up 5 sacks tonight to take the lead.

But here's the thing. The holds shown in the tweet that cannot be posted are egregious. There's no "you can call that on any play" stuff here. Parsons is getting literally tackled, or grabbed from behind around the waist, or getting pulled down from the side on his rushes. These are blatant holds that any competent official should not miss.

You think Danielle Hunter is "some random dude?" Interesting.

Yeah I said random. Did I stutter.

I went to school with Danielle Hunter and dated his sister Frank.

I'd just like to see it called evenly. We have 14 offensive holding penalties this year. Philly has 4. So when one isn't called against the Eagles, you have to question whether the officials are paying as close of attention to them as they are to us. As you said, holds can be called on any given pass play, so officials should keep it pretty even.

BTW, they also have called 14 defensive holdings on us and only 2 on the Eagles.

I don't see any videos or do you need to be a Twitter user to see them? Can you PM me the Tweet? I want to look at these later on another device.

I saw the tweet today and am having trouble finding it. If I do I will send it to you.

Why mention Reddick? He’s nowhere near Micah or Bosa’s class. Weird.

TJ Watt will be this year's DPOY. Dude always gets two sacks a game. Clean, unblocked paths to the QB. It's comical.
