For whatever reason the Viking organization commit’s a penalty on nearly every play. Neutral zone infractions by 3 out of 4 defensive lineman are common place especially in or near the red zone. Recently they feel the popularity of Adrian Peterson gives them the right to steer defenders by grabbing the shoulders. I have no idea what justification they have for hooking (wizard - ing) defensive ends on passing plays. I don’t know why they have been allowed to do this routinely. They have no incentive to stop because they get caught less than 1 out of 10 times. The Packers naturally have to somehow compete with these unfair advantages often by committing a few infractions in the spirit of fair play. The officials UNDER-officiated the Vikings which led the game to deteriorate into near chaos.
This whole post is just silly.
Sorry, it was on purpose as stated. Probably not appropriate given the nature of the forum.

I was under the impression plays with passes behind the LOS are technically runs. Hence screens, jailbreaks, shuffle passes, etc.
Wrong.
Yes, they just become runs as soon as the ball is caught. A semantic confusion of wording and timing I’m glad we worked out.


They really can't grade offensive holding calls. I know it’s difficult if not impossible to do. The term “it happens on every play” is a term for a reason. The point is they push it and influence the play.
If this was the case, how would they ever grade R's or U's in the NFL or D1?

While they may “grade” them, they have a panel of graders I take it?
What weight can they give to the holding grades?
You think the NFL has consistent officiating when it comes to offensive holding?

They can grade the calls, how to grade the non calls? it is possible but the percentage and consistency gets mucky.
They know exactly what to look for on holds, and are shown plays in their meetings every year that are prepared by their supervisors.

You implied that it was impossible for them to miss a lot of holding calls based on them being reviewed by people that have watched a video?
