In order for me to remotely believe that that hold was the reason for that run you would have to convince me that the other 10 players on the field were where they were supposed to be and did exactly what they were supposed to do. That holding was on the line.. where were the LB's, Corners, and Safety? Surely when the ball is handed off they stop covering receivers?

Often times one player is the man to stop a big gain if that play is his gap responsibility.

I've seen a bazillion huge gains brought back because of a holding call.

Do you think they should just ignore all holding calls?
