The holding on Strahan, again in my albeit biased view, was no worse than the holding they did on our D line.

The PI call (or lack thereof) on Shockey could've gone both ways if you ask me. Marshall seemed to be bumping against Shockey's arm a bit, but it hardly prevented Shockey from trying to catch the ball. I think it's a case of a big, physical TE who's known for being a tough physical player being covered by an equally tough LB. I'm glad the officials don't call every little sneeze or wayward look when ya got two physical guys going for a play.

Either way, like you said there's no excuse for Shockey just stopping on the play - that's Pee Wee Football Lesson 1 right there.

Yeah that PI was crap and the right call, Shockey is used to winning those battles and nobody playing him physical, he came out and drove right into Marshall who knocked his ass back, then pus looking for a interference call. Then the one that the announcers said was interference on the last drive with Springs, clearly was making a play on the ball some of these assholes forget the defender has just as much right to make a play on the ball as the Offense. So many penalties are missed during the game, penalties should never make you lose the game. I do and have questioned some of the calls that are made in situations toward the end of the game or momentum killer calls.
