About that Jameis touchdown pass...

See any penalty in this photo that didn't get called? 

[Panthers8969]

yes

[Ricky Spanish]

Ealy is looking at Winston rather menacingly. Lucky a flag didn't get thrown for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Ugh. Such has been the theme so far this season.

Ugh. Such has been the theme so far this season.

Hopefully we're getting all the shitty calls out of the way early in the season.

I realize that they can't catch them all, but when it's one like this that so clearly affects the play and the head ref should be in position to see, it's really irritating...

...and it's not just us, I saw several obvious, blatant holds against the Lions last night that allowed Wilson to escape the pocket that weren't called.

On that note, did anyone else notice all the no calls last night (NOT THE BIG NO_CALL) in regards to holding against the Seahawks as well.  Their were multiple times when Wilson would start scrambling and their O-line would be behind a Lion player with their arm across the defenders chest.

[Zaximus]

It really seems like every year, less and less holding calls are called.  I see it on every play and this year there have been some pretty big ones that weren't called.   More emphasis on offense I guess.

[Khaki Lackey]

Ealy has been held A LOT so far this season.

[motocross_cat]

Ealy isnt old enough to get that call.

[panthers55]

The holding calls and facemask penalties that were not called far outweigh the ones that were called.  And yes I know that holding penalties could be called all the time but when they impact the play and allow quarterbacks to escape obvious sack opportunities it feels like BS. One of the main reasons we have so few sacks this year  is a number of times our front four got pressure but were pulled down from behind or tackled

[VerticalThreat]

But was it "overt"?

[juliosantos]

i noticed that during the game a couple other holdings that were not called . i guess the refs started winston on draftkings

It was particularly bad last night. It wasn't just brief holding they were hanging on to guys for 4-5 seconds.
