"Go easy on holding calls. Only call the blatantly obvious ones. Ratings are up with the increased scoring."
A couple of games ago in the Game Time Forum, I said as much. We were discussing how in the world the refs could miss the blatant holds going on. I said that I believe the refs
are seeing the holds... but they're
choosing not to call them. I said that I believe there's something else at play... namely ratings are up, scoring is up, across the league and the flow of the game isn't disrupted. Exactly what the NFL wants. I didn't say it was right or that I agreed with it; but, I get it.
