I beliee the holding call on Breno that called back Turbs ru

[ivotuk]

Was bogus. It was just above the waist, inside the pads and his hand never pulled away from the side. Usually you see the hand 6" away from the body with cloth in their hand, not so in this case.

That was a huge run and probably would have put the game away. I hope Pete sends that one in.

Ticky tack at the least, and at worst, it was the referee wanting to influence the game.

If not for that call, this would have been a whole different game and we wouldn't have so many "what's wrong with "x" threads.

 

[Mindsink]

Agreed.

 

[VivaEfrenHerrera]

Seems safe to say that if this one was the standard, there probably shoulda been quite a few more called.

 

[brimsalabim]

Send it in along with the fumble recovery that wasn't and the penalty for being upset about the obviously horrible call.

 

[hawk45]

Yep, count me in with OP as well.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Yep it was a phantom hold. They missed some blatant holds on NO the whole game, until they finally called on late.
The officiating was horrible at times.

 

[McGruff]

It had the appearance of a hold

 

[hawkfannj]

It was a hold

Yea and the saints had the appearance of makin a comeback

 

[ivotuk]

Oh crap, you're right, "It had all the ingredients of a hold."

 

[Seafan]

RW said it looked like the OL was holding a lot.

LOL! That was last year, in the Washington game. Okung and Unger got a belly laugh out of that.

The Seahawks offensive numbers get killed by that stuff. I really think that when the Hawks got out to 16-0 that there might have been a little twilight zone stuff going on there. I watched Bennett get horse collared, literally twice and no less than 4 holds not get called on NO. Don't mind the calls when they are balanced.

The Hawks were SO close to numerous sack fumbles today. I like the pressure. Some crazy passes were completed today and the Hawks won in spite of it.

 

[ivotuk]

The one that pissed me off was the no call on the dude ripping Baldwin's helmet off by the facemask! wth...

 

[mikeak]

That and the Clemons hold was pure BS

Clemons was worse. You are allowed to put hands in receiver and he did without impacting him

 

[OrFan]

NFL likes to keep things close.

 

[Riley12]

The hold was there, but the call was ticky tack.

What ticked me off, is this - if that instance was the standard for what would be called and what wouldn't, flags should have been
flying against New Orleans for holds all game long! Grrrr

I can see that, but I've heard multiple times that as long as it's inside the pads and you don't see fabric being pulled that it shouldn't be called. I've been trying to find something on the internet but it's an "unofficial" thing so seems no one wants to put it in writing.

 

[Johnny]

It was to big of a play by the 'WRONG' team early in the game.... it was no surprise to me that the flag was thrown.

 

[lsheldon]

The Aints were doing just as much or more holding this game than the Seahawks were. Their fans would like you to believe otherwise. It was actually a very loosely called game by the officials.
