Not my point at all, didn’t question any call. You commented about refs not calling specific holding calls. My point is that, that is actually the case most of the game. If they called them all, the ball would never move forward outside of a punt and even then it would get called back.

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.
