It was a hold. I'm not sure what the hubbub is about. Sucks that Gronkowski was holding downfield and Woodhead came near him. Not sure why that's the official's fault though.
It was a bullcrap call. That may be holding BY THE BOOK, but I can guarantee you that in that situation, at that time of the game, it would never have been called 99 out of 100 times. It was not flagrant enough and it had no bearing on the play itself. Woodhead was too fast beyond him for it to have any effect....... it was a crap call and that official should be hung out to dry....
If holding was called every time that same thing happened, games would take five hours to play and yellow flags would be on the field by the multi dozens. It was a horsecrap call.
And, I am very curious about the official that threw the flag, his name, where he resides (city, not address) where he has officiated because with that information it can be determined if he may have an inbred hatred of the Patriots and it was just his hatred that made him throw the flag.
After all, officials are human, and they have lifetimes of likes and dislikes built into their minds. Strange things CAN and DO happen.
Don't laugh. I am very serious.
That being said, it really shouldn't have mattered if Josh McDaniels had called a decent game, which he didn't.
