Just saw an NFLN feature on officials prepping for the season. Head of officials Mike Pereira said offensive holding will be a "point of emphasis" this season. So, expect more flags for 10-yarders. Sucks for a team that passes as much as we do.
Even in 2007 when the Pats were supposedly constantly running up the score and passing on every snap, they ranked fifth in number of pass attempts.

Despite the Pats' reputation in the media of being a pass-happy offense, they only ranked 12th in the NFL in 2008 in number of pass attempts - behind teams like Jacksonville, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay.

At first glance it looks to me like the Saints and Cardinals are the teams that could be hurt the most by this change of emphasis on offensive holding. I also agree the quick release passers such as Manning and Brady may not be affected as much as guys that try to buy time scrambling like Roethlisberger.
Yeah, but you know that the refs will have extra scrutiny on the Pats.
Both Brady and Manning are quick release guys. Sucks for the Jets rookie Sanchez. Oh wait, NY teams don't get holding calls. My bad.

There's no Supposedly about it - they did.
Yeah well I'm sure this rule won't apply to the Colts...
Now you've done it...
Just keeping it real.
