SURVEY... How many non-calls for holding last night? WTF?

Postby SoCal Stiller » Tue Nov 10, 2009 12:55 pm

I saw 7 or 8 non-calls for holding last night with at least half of those holding Jaimie. That huge hit by Harrison near the end of the game was preceded by a blatant hold on Harrison. I think Harrison took out all his frustration for the non-calls on that poor bastard.
Also, there was a ton of clutching and holding beyond 5 yards by the Donkey's "vaunted" secondary.

I agree. The play they kept showing bragging about Ty Law's great coverage has him latching onto Hines twenty yards down field not to mention numerous choke holds on Silverback as he bull rushed from the edge. Kind a think of it, they never called holding all night that I can recall :supissed: Put hey we won and beat the life out of those Broncos.

You're right about Law - he was tugging on Hines' jersey all the way down the field on that play.

On another play, Farrior came up the middle and nearly got Orton, even after the O-lineman missed him and wrapped his arms around his midsection slowing him down. Completely visible and blatant but never called.

They're not calling the holds on Harrison because he over pursues and gets pushed out of the play. Opposing coaches are teaching their QB's to step up and away from him and so the refs are letting it go. Not saying I agree with it.

I think the NFL is letting these non calls happen more often, otherwise the Stillers would sack the QB on every play!

There was at least one, if not 2 holds called against the Denver O-line. That Farrier one coming up the middle was also called.
