Reply to comment by Qwertyui606 in James Bradberry: "I pulled on his jersey. They called it. I was hoping they would let it ride." by EatSleepJeep

If the hold doesn't happen, he hits Juju in that flat, and if caught, he waltzes into the end zone for a touchdown. Instead it gets thrown away, and people are screaming "uncatchable".

Wtf are you talking about. The jersey grab barley slowed him down and the ball was overthrown by 20 feet. Bogus call and blew the game. Not saying the eagles would do have won but it just stopped all play and let KC just walk away with it. I’m not saying shit is rigged but that was a terrible call

Except he did hold, and admitted it, so clearly not a bogus call. Maybe a soft call, but not a bogus call. Also the replay doesn’t show the earlier contact that occurred, he essentially held him twice.

Also, if we’re talking about shitty calls how about the refs overturning the complete pass that led to a fumble recovery and touchdown for the chiefs? I’d say that was a questionable one to overturn as well, the player stabilized the ball and turned his body, making a football move, before being hit.

It works both ways.

Dude… he’s falling on the sword.. if you watch the highlight and honestly think it hindered the play in any way you’re crazy. I usually agree that a foul is a foul. But that shit gave them the auto 1st down and won them the game by letting them run out the clock. Play was dead before any flag was even thrown

Its not about whether its a penalty, its about that being the first one they call all game in a pivotal moment after letting them play like that all game.

Did you ever think that maybe they warned Bradberry that if he kept holding they would call it...??

Like how he held Juju on the 3rd and 8 and got away with it..??

So if it's a penalty. Don't do it!

Don't commit a penalty then cry when it gets called!

He… he didn’t. He admitted that it was a penalty… Thats the post.

The Chiefs had their share of uncalled holding calls too, the point is that it feels like a dirty way to end a good game by having the refs make a (pretty soft) holding call for the first time all game.

If thats going to be called holding it needs to be consistent through the whole game.

I have never heard of this rule where a penalty can’t be called at pivotal moments if it wasn’t called earlier in the game.

If the eagles roughed the kicker during the game winning FG attempt. The refs aren’t allowed to call it because they haven’t called one earlier in the game?
