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

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?
