This is my first post on the football side of The Forum.
Sunday, there was a strange (to me) call in the Saints/Falcons game:
With 6 seconds to play, Atlanta tries a field goal to win the game. The kick is wide.
But wait!
There's a penalty for holding. No big deal: Simply decline it and run off the 6 seconds.
But wait!
The official called holding on a defender!
Isn't that pretty strange?
I suppose the argument is that the Saint held a Falcon so he couldn't block a Saint trying to block the field goal.
Or something like that.
Coach of New Orleans said it was a "chickensh!t" call. He said that several times.
Is this truly an unusual call?
