Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

They just don't call holding like they used to.

It's an offense driven league.

Seems like the pass rushers have just gotten too good. They never call the sideways arm bar neck block that is really obviously a hold...but if they did call it then eventually the QB would start getting sacked like 15 times a game. Orakpo gets held like that like every play...same with Kerrigan.

It was just pathetic on the MNF against the Giants when Chucky pretty much showed a replay of Kerrigan being put on a choke hold by the Giants' lineman.

That is just awful -- I understand that the offense is what drives the excitement but I really hate how the league has neutered great defensive play in some respects. That's why my favorite play is when a quarterback (not RG3 of course) gets blown up on a sack.
