re: So about that defensive holding call in the SB.....

There was never a real controversy…the angles provided that night were enough to show it was clearly a hold (2 actually)…
And then the player ADMITTED to holding him and said he hoped he could get away with it..
There have been hundreds of awful calls that significantly and unfairly affected games in critical situations…this was not one of them…and the “can’t call it at that stage of the game” crowd are idiots…if he doesn’t hold, it could have very well been a TD…
Ironically, not holding him and him getting a TD, may have been better for Philly in the long run…
