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

I think one interesting thing is that no one is arguing that it was not a hold. The main arguments you hear is either "you can't decide a game at the end like that" and "they were letting that go all game why call it now"?

From my perspective if the call is legit - and it was - no doubt - you can't really support the outrage over it, time to move on.

The first hold definitely altered both the route and the timing - and it appears clear to me....fairly significantly. The second was one that I could have seen being let go and if that had been the only one I could see the case being made as more legit.
