Super Bowl LVII

Another nail in the coffin of the woke mob NFL

Marge McSkanky is pissed.

If you don't want a penalty to determine the outcome of a game, then don't commit the penalty.

And I would suggest it is completely unknown if it determined the outcome. The Eagles still would have had to at least get into FG range.

Exactly. We don't know if it would have decided the result. It simply would have given the Eagles a chance.

I hated the call, but the simple solution is don't hold.

The Big Blunder for the Eagles was the fumble return for a touchdown. When teams are evenly matched , plays like that are usually hard to over come .

Mahomes will make a team pay every time they make a mistake like that .

Yup. Philly's defense was the most disappointing unit in the game by a large margin.

What defense? 73 points scored in that game.

I bet you could look at that play and find a textbook example of holding on the O line comparable with the defensive hold they called.
It was a bush league call.

That may not be holding, actually.
See: Rule 12, Section 1, Article 3, Note 1.i.

Anyhow, the one guy who would have the most legit beef about the call if it were wrong has said it was not wrong.

For what its worth, I think defensive holding could be called every play, but that specific type of defensive holding gets called every time.  That inside-out route, completely iso in man coverage is an extremely visible, dynamic route.  Plus the release out and up will expose any kind of jersey tug and make it look even worse than it is.  Its not like using an arm to slow a guy down on post 15 yards down the field or something.  I felt a little let down to not get to see the Eagles get the ball back, but its a great play design that kind of intentionally puts the ref in a tough position.
