I know most fans feel this way, but I’ve never seen lineman held like Malik Jackson and Yannick Ngakoue are held. Generally, a certain degree of holding happens on every play. It just seems that, because we’re so successful, they allow opposing teams to get away with some of the less egregious holds.

Maybe it’s my teal-colored glasses.

It's not.

The steelers got away with murder holding Campbell and Ngakoue.  No reason to think the pats won't do the same.

It has been a theme all year. There are a ton of obvious ones on tv the refs choose to ignore. There has probably been 50 or so blatant, egregious holds ignored this year, and i am not exaggerating. There are consistently 3-5 a game missed, not counting the nit picky holds. We have gotten away with some on the offense too though. Its a mix of bad officiating and "letting them play" imo. Still sucks.
