Chiefs 63 more offensive holding penalties have been called than 2018 - Page 3

I'm just posting this for posterity....and have a time stamp.

63 more offensive holding penalties have been called (77.8 percent increase) than this time last year.

This is the first season where the NFL openly admitted to having a partnership with Vegas.

You want to control the Over/Under...just call holding when a team makes a positive play.

20 penalties tonight...

Funny how people accept that NE had 0 penalties in the AFCCG vs. the Jags...then against KC in prime time....then AGAIN against the Jags. Two consecutive match-ups against the same opponent where Patriots got zero flags...has that ever happened?

If you follow the timeline...Patriots had 3 games with zero penalties in an 8 game span...over two seasons.

Don't worry fans, if Brady is so much as looked at wrong- that will still be a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty which will get you a win.

Mr. Brady, you have some lint on your shoulder. Let me brush that off for you.

Ref throws flag for roughing the passer.

Well, the Patriots...uh...

Dang. I'm too late with all the good jokes.

Guess how man times the Patriots have been called for holding? Twice.

In comparison, Kansas City already has been called 7 times. Jacksonville has 10 through 3 games, next highest is Washington with 8.

The refs don't like telling defenders to get off Tom.

:-) But we know what you mean.

To be fair, there are several other teams with 2 holding penalties. Buffalo only has 1. Oddly, most of the teams with the fewest holding penalties are dog shit.

So they're only calling the holding penalties against the teams that are a threat to the Patriots. That makes a ton of sense.

I really think that 20 years from now some ref in a retirement home will fess up that the Patriots bought them all off.

If the priority is to keep QBs healthy, that is, limit hits, why throw more flags for holding against the OL? You'd think the refs would allow tricky-tack holding by the offensive line go.

I mean blatant, and the refs and announcers just ignore it.

You can challenge that these days, so not much of an excuse anymore.
