it's on espn.com. Suh was tackled by Dallas lineman to prevent sack on 4th & 6 conversion. i saw replay and you couldn't possibly miss a holding call more if you tried. the NFL confirms the blatant nature of the hold. at first, i was never yelling fix, just horrible officials. now, after this play, it is obvious the game was fixed.

Now. I'm not starting an argument with u at all. Just trying to pick your brain right now. Imo,...you don't think after the "flag" that everything else would be under the microscope? Hold yes but I've never heard of a ref admiring a missed call On a different play. It's like they are trying to make up for something that can't be. Not sure if I'm making any sense. Furthermore these calls are missed all the time. Not saying it wasn't holding on suh but they are missed every Sunday. For example what about these obvious calls that were missed.

No-call on roughing the punter (tackledunder his leg)
No-call on fair catch interference
No-call on tackling Dez on the 2 - resulting in sack and eventual missed FG
There were a ton of others.
In a nutshell that officiating crew was horrendous. They weren't on the same page since kick off.

Suh was tackled, not held. it's the timing and the consequences of the calls. the first debacle costs detroit 30 obvious penalty yards. that is devastating. then when Suh has a sack lined up on 4th & 6 he is tackled and nothing is called. that is even bigger because Detroit takes over on downs. so yes, there were many bad calls. they even out. those calls decided a game, twice. the NFL has confirmed all the calls were wrong. maybe it isn't fixed by the NFL, but officials gave that game to the Cowboys for some reason only they know.

U said it dead on. "Timing and the consequences" 150% concur

theres no doubt that dallas fans would be as forgiving if a flag was picked up after an obvious pi/holding call, and then a lion ran on the field to protest..fans are so hypocritical

it's called fan bias. just let the lions' fans have their "no flag" protest. their team just lost a close playoff game. they need something to discuss at the water cooler.

The player holding Suh didn't realize he was holding him...he said his hands were numb.

Numb hands in Dallas Texas ? Wait till he plays in GB next Sunday, (single digit temperatures) he will find out what "numb really is.
It gets so cold in January at Lambeau, it "freezes the balls of a brass monkey".

NFL don't care. That DAL game this past weekend was the most watched TV event since the Oscars in March. And just wait until DAL-GB this weekend! Should top last weeks game. CAR-GB and DET-SEA combined can't beat what DAL-GB will bring in.

It seemed that whole drive Dallas had going, Detroit had penalty after penalty thrown against them, yet not one on the offense.

Detroit wouldnt have taken over on downs.

Missed flags and incorrect calls happen all the time in NFL. It's subjective and sometimes biased. Flags against Dallas were missed. Flags against Detroit were missed. part of the game

My reference to Suh's "tackler's hands being numb" was to his reason for standing and grinding on Rogers calf during the GB/Det game last week. He avoided the one-game suspension by stating that he didn't know he was on Rogers' calf because his feet were numb.

Ha. Great comment. For those that didn't get it, Suh claimed his feet were numb when he stepped on Rodgers' leg two weeks ago. I'm surprised Suh didn't kick the shit out of the guy that tackled him.
