But my main point is that given the huge amount of attention given to an uncalled penalty in the Saints game, the NFL may decide to instruct their officials to call defensive holding and PI more closely in the SB. I don't see how they don't. And if this is the case, I think it benefits us more than it benefits the Patriots, since we have the better receivers and because that is one of the primary keys to Patriots postseason defense.
Agree or disagree?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Goodell is the son of a politician. And he's proven to be a pretty political kind of guy himself (literally and in terms of skill-set). So, perhaps this whole, "We're going to have a committee to see if we should review PI" thing is a way to get ahead of the issue
outside the game and not have to change the playoffs officiating status quo (for now). Maybe.
Or maybe you're right. We'll see.
