I didn't think so given how crazy the refs have become and where every play, or every other play, a flag is being tossed. Yet, in the Chiefs / Raiders game yesterday, Oakland was hit with 12 penalties and somehow, miraculously the Chief went the entire game without ever being call for a penalty!! How is the even possible??? When was the last time that happened??? :shocker:

It shouldn't be. Holding happens every 3rd play.

I've given up on the refs. In the Seattle game tonight it's 2nd and 10, the LT for Seattle clearly jumps before the snap, they complete a 9 yard pass while the announcer wonders aloud where the false start flag is. next play they get a first down plus a hit out of bounds play(legit call likely in part due to the lack of a call for the false start). They go down and score a TD to tie the game, that one missed call completely changes the game.

I watched quite a bit of this game and more than once I said to myself "oh, there's going to be a holding call on KC" and not once did I see a flag.

Seattle only had one penalty called against them last night a PI, Min 3. Probably as close as it will every get

At least 3 times a game, I see a Defensive lineman with his neck on the other side of the football... 2 officials looking straight down the line......*crickets*
