Was it defensive holding?

[Jake]

Get ready for a bunch of ref lovers saying it was legit. Wonder why. Lol.

If that was the Cowboys defense I think the takes on that call would be very different. I'd be cleaning up conspiracy meltdown threads right now.

 

[exciter]

Let's be objective. Going by the rule book, correct call or let it go?

It was defensive holding, he turned his hip…,wasn’t nearly as blatant as the one that wasn’t called earlier. Ref knew he missed it, was watching and probably jumped the gun a bit. Tough titty!!!

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

It was NOT DPI .

The eagles got robbed .

Lol!

What’s a ref lover? Lol. To me he hooked his waist and that was the legit call. After the hook you can say the bump snd back push was iffy but the hook was a legit impeding hold

But they were still in FG range. Are we going to talk about the catch and fumble they returned for a TD? Sorry what if games don’t work

 

[JBS]

Doesn't a hold automatically give KC a first down anyways?

In the end, I believe the Phi defender committed an infraction.

Yes. They called holding. And they got a first down

I thought it was the right call. He grabbed his left arm and the back of his jersey as the WR pivoted. It was early in the route and the flag was late.

This

 

[TheCoolFan]

Yes...when that jersey gets grabbed, they have to call it. You can jam the WR with your hands within the first 5 yards and even get away with a traditional hold sometimes but tugging the jersey is an easy call as a hold/illegal contact. Now the second contact is debatable but just on the initial contact on the jersey grab, if he doesn't do that then he's getting beat to the outside

 

[Boysdaboys]

Yes. They called holding. And they got a first down

I keep thinking it was DPI.

I don't know. When I look at the replay, it does look like a hold.

 

[TwoDeep3]

He grabbed the receivers jersey right above the hip. He didn't hold it long, but holding is holding. They don't put a clock on it like bull riding at a rodeo.

he actually held him twice if you look at the pivot on the route (1) and then when he tried to sprint away (2)

 

[JayFord]

Rules are different for each crew

 

[SultanOfSix]

Technically yes, but it was extremely ticky-tack, it happens all the time, and is only called when the NFL wants to decide a game. This is why people believe the NFL is rigged. The NFL officiating is consistently inconsistent, not only between games but within them.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Greg Olsen is such a wiener to try to ruin that game for chiefs fans.

Stop breaking the rules !

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Don’t hold a guy who’s breaking wide open ! He did it Bc he knew he was toast.

 

[Vanilla2]

Objectively? To heck with the eagles

 

[silvernblu]

Let it go. I think the receiver slowed for some reason unrelated to the hold that made it look worse than it was.

 

[Shunpike]

It was not a right holding call. Eagles got screwed but who cares. I hate Eagles and glad they lost on a controversial call.

 

[Fizziksman]

yes. but that is the problem with subjective officiating.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

It’s the Super Bowl if it’s not obvious let them play! Why let a historic game end like that is beyond me.

So chiefs fans should suffer Bc it’d be less dramatic to not call the game right
