The lone holding call was against an Atlanta wide receiver in garbage time, so the streak of no holding calls against opposing offensive lineman continues. This is ridiculous.

It is ridiculous but pretty much expected.

How many quarters are we up to now?

I believe we are up to 24 consecutive quarters without a holding call on the opponent's offensive line. And apparently you can now also tackle a QB by the face mask.

Goddell is pissed at Jerry for holding up his deal...........expect more officiating like this till Roger gets his new deal

I'm pretty sure there's a team out there with a longer streak if we are able to pick and choose which holding calls actually count.

FWIW, this meme of stat is 100% skepticism. Nobody actually knows what is "typical". Nobody actually knows what the record for most games without an opposing holding call is, and nobody even knows what should be expected.

It sounds bad, but nobody can even say where 24 games would rank over the past 5, 10, 15 seasons. Can't even compare it to anything other than what people believe is the norm.

It's fair to point out there is no context. It is not fair to just make up crap and insert it for context. I know you have no idea if there is or is not a team out there with a longer streak.

I don't. Then again, I'm not claiming an unknown is proof of some conspiracy against Dallas.

But one might add expectation with the inclusion of face masks and helmet to helmets that also go uncalled with a Cowboys' ball carrier.

Your honesty and rational thought isn't appreciated right now.

That's really hard to ignore quite frankly.
It is for any aspect of the game.

Even if we played the Bengals six straight weeks, I wouldn't expect the personal foul calls to be that out of wack.
