Good lol

You could point to all the great pass rushers, I see it all the time against JJ and Q on the Jets because I watch them more, but you also see it constantly against Crosby, Hutch, Watt, Garrett, Bosa…

Feels like the inconsistency just removes the advantage of having great pass rushers. That is a literal game changer for the Jets because you know damn well the Offense isn’t gonna do anything, so to see your DL getting mugged just makes it, like you said, irritating.

The plays that look like chokeholds are usually not actually holding. You get to that position usually when the pass rusher does a rip move, which basically pushes the O-lineman's arm up into a position where they have to either disengage or wrap their arm around the pass rusher. There's an exception in the rulebook for those plays.

The automatic first down penalties need to be abolished,

“…and a cool $1mil for tossing up the deuces while saying it”

I’ve accepted it’s useless, the mf will not stop tweeting. Once the mf openly admits to having a foot fetish when he absolutely did not have to you know he dgaf

How is this bitching? I guess he is acknowledging that the missed holds exists, but everyone knows that. It’s not a secret. Seems like he’s either agreeing or at least understands their reasoning for not calling every single one.

Offensive holding is the worst.

It can be called on every snap...so the refs can use it to control the flow of a game. Sometimes they swallow their whistles.

Worst is when "Team A" is expected to win by a decent margin but it feels like the league wants a nail-biter. They'll start calling holding on every big play Team A gets so that they stay in 3rd & long situations. Team B hangs in the game long enough to make it interesting. Refs will throw some random penalties at Team B later in the game to even up the flags.

Team B gets a bunch of ticky tack calls and thinks the league conspired against them late in the game. Team A feels like they got a bunch of momentum killing calls early....and would have blown out Team B otherwise.

This is part of the Chiefs game plan.

Or defensive holding. Especially if it’s in a big game in a crucial situation that essentially ends an exciting game in the most boring way possible. Just as a hypothetical and I’m not still mad at all.

Such as a certain Super Bowl game

Hey now that strategy kept Matt Canada working for 2+ years

The only annoying thing about it now is how selective it is. Realistically almost every play could have a holding call, so they only call the ones that are obvious. I think everyone is okay with that, but the problem is that sometimes a less obvious one has a significant effect but doesn’t get called or a more obvious one has little to no effect and does get called.

The solution definitely isn’t to just throw that shit every time they see it, because that would be most plays, but right now I feel like reffing has to be changed somehow because it’s been awful

Respectfully, nothing should ever do what the NBA does, under any circumstance ever.
