NFL Officiating

[NoCalHail]

Can someone give a clear definition of when hooking a pass rusher around the neck is and isn't a hold? It seems like the officials aren't even sure as there are so many times it never gets called but then other times it randomly gets called. I saw it happen to Kerrigan today with no call then turn my head 20 degrees to the left to see a Bills player get flagged for virtually doing the same thing that was bring done to Kerrigan.

Just seems to me the better the team the more fans complain about the refes.

Every team's fans are complaining about the Refs. The Ravens lost a game they actually won because the refs got an obvious call wrong. Several games have had wrong calls severely impact the games. The refs lost several seconds in a game earlier in the season.

This. I never understand why it doesn't get called consistently.
