Its def a penalty but it was consistent with the way the game was being called so no complaints here.

You mean this The REAL MVP of Super Bowl 42 - YouTube

Not a month goes by I don't think of that hold.

I think it was the right call. The ball is on the five yard line, the DB gets five yards to check the receiver. I think the receiver initiated the contact, the DB wasn't trying to stop the receiver from getting to the corner, to me it looked like the receiver was trying to push off, then saw the ball going the other way & tried to run through the DB who had every right to be where he was.

Funny thing is they actually called a critical hold late in the following SuperBowl with Arizona and Pittsburgh.

jeezus...c'mon what are you, a Ravens fan???

I can't be the only one who thought f*** s*** why didn't Hobbs just hold?

But on a side note how bout the stones on Peas to call the all out blitz again in that situation.

why a hack like Bogur was assigned to this game...this is a travesty

What bugs me about this one is that our NE secondary would get 10 flags if they did what Jimmy Smith did on that play. So biased.....

They made the right call by calling nothing. They've been letting the DBs and WRs be physical all night. At least they kept it consistent.

Culliver's PI on Smith on an earlier drive was WAY too obvious to let it go so they called that one.
