The difference between holding and not holding on the line is whether the hands slip to the outside of the pads where the Ref can see them. If the hands don’t slip that O-Lineman is still holding that defender by his pads most of the time because he knows if he can just slow him by a fraction of a second the QB may get the pass off or the RB may squeak by. A successful play is based on fractions of a second but close wins and losses are because both teams played with heart or sh1t the bed. |

Do you visit many boards for other teams? You should try it, especially after that team loses. The consensus across the league is that the Referees are screwing everyone. To me that’s a level playing field. ![]() |

Re: Saints fans launch petition asking team to fire Dennis Allen
With all due respect, it might save a lot of dedicated Fans a lot of time and energy, if you would just look at the Title of this thread. Whether or not a petition would even be effective, it's the thought that counts. The consensus appears to be that (among other things), we have a COACHING PROBLEM. After 13 weeks, if that's not clear to you, enjoy the bye-week, and let's see how well-coached we are against the dirty birds. Should be an interesting game, to say the least.
