It's pretty much an annual thing for people to say "why aren't they calling holding?"

Well this year, they're not.

It was mentioned a while back that the league had directed refs to basically only call flagrant penalties. Teams that knew how to get away with holding were expected to be huge beneficiaries of that, and it looks like that's happening. It's also very likely to continue because the league wants more scoring.

Someone should have mentioned that to the refs calling the Bills- Rams game last week. The Rams had the game won until the refs decided a PI could change the outcome of the game. Worst PI call I've seen in some time that didn't involve the Saints...lol

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
