Speaking of the level of competition, and how different the game is today vs. the past when QB's weren't so protected, I would like to offer up a possible counterpoint: The defensive players of today are way, way, way more athletic than the defensive players of 30-40 years ago. The linebackers are so much bigger and faster, as are the d-lineman. They are literally freaks of human nature. If you took a time machine back to the 70's and 80's, and even early 90's, and told them that in today's NFL you have defensive lineman and linebackers who are just as big or bigger running 4.4 40's, they would tell you that you are either insane or everyone is on dope. Meanwhile, the OL have gotten bigger and more athletic, but not near to the same level as their defensive counterparts. So yes, today's QB and offense as a whole is way more protected than in the past, but the defenses today seem way more athletic, faster, and stronger.

It begs the question...how much of an influence is Eric Bienemy?

Ah, ok. Didn't recognize her with the smile. Baylor & Philly...wouldn't surprise me if she were also a Yankees fan to give me the hate-trifecta.

Ok, I really had hoped someone would have posted something after this giving me a clue as to who they are. So I have to ask...

This. It's why this is a rule to begin with.

Yeah he was. I shook his hand once at a basketball game...this is kind of what it looked like:

Well, you clearly didn't read my post at all. And the DB even admitted he was holding him. But you got your narrative and by golly you are going to stick to it...don't confuse you with facts.

I'm both. Granted, Tech legend EJ Holub started me down the road of having the Chiefs as my AFC team, and Mahomes helped reinforce it.

So many variables go into making a call. The ref has to determine in a microsecond if the hold impeded the route and thus affected the play. He throws the flag at the point the hold is being made, not later after seeing if the ball was overthrown or not. Also, you have to take into account causative effect here...that hold could have been enough to alter the entire play and that's why PM threw it away. All the ref can do at that point-in-time is assess if the hold impeded the route, and from his vantage point in that miniscule amount of time to make an evaluation he determined it did impede the WR's ability to make the play. They have to do that on each and every play, not sit there and go, "How did I call this earlier in the game? Maybe I should take that into consideration." Each play is different, and the ref has different vantage points. You have to call these in a vacuum...there is no other way.

I am as big of a Mahomes fan as there is, but I do think we should wait until he's at least old enough for that next big car insurance discount before we start hiring the Mt. Rushmore of Football sculptors.

This. Make it a Super Bowl tradition. It would be 100000000x better than the crap they've been serving us at halftime.

I don’t want to know how you know so much about Joe’s balls.

They didn’t call PI. They called holding, and as others pointed out, he was practically holding him the entire route. You kind of have to call it.

I’ve met him. I’d say he’s about 5’8-5’9. Super nice guy.

Remember when forward progress stopping ended a play? Pepperidge Farm remembers. The damn umpire already had signaled the play dead before the extra push.

I hope they conclude this experiment a failure. This experimental turf may be great for putting on, but not for football.

Clark Hunt is a genuinely good guy. I’ve met him twice and he’s just as nice as he can be.
