Ravens special teamer whistled for costly penalty

[fansince'76]

I've read elsewhere that it wasn't a hold, just a "flop" by Allen. It was a HOLD, clear as day.

Yea, total BS. I guess that idiot didn't see the handful of Allen's jersey that the Crow had ahold of when Allen was trying to get to the ball carrier. It was a blatent and obvious hold and it was called.

Anyone have a good picture to prove it? We're going to need that to show the haters.

It doesn't matter if you have a picture. They'll still whine.

Exactly. Even though it was a clear hold (see pic above), they'll argue some ridiculous bullshit like "it wasn't much of a hold and therefore shouldn't have been called," like there are different "degrees" of holding. Hell, there are still a slew of assclowns who piss and moan about Santo's catch in XLIII swearing he didn't get both feet down when there are mountains of photographic evidence to the contrary available by a simple Google search (but those are Photoshopped ). And obviously biased assholes like Shannon Sharpe and Boomer Esiason harping on the officiating after the fact only throws gas on the fire. At the end of the day, the pussies and crybabies who absolutely cannot accept a loss are still going to whine and bellyache about how "we had the refs in our back pockets" regardless.

Fistful of jersey = HOLD, every day of the week.

Eh.. the two aren't mutually exclusive. It WAS a hold, and Allen DID ham it up. This falls in the same category as a DB tugging on a jersey running down the field. It is how you play the game.

That's fine if that was what was said. However, that blog asserts there was no hold. There clearly was.

However, when the replay was shown, there was no foul to be seen, only good acting.

I'm sorry, but I'm sick to death of crybaby assholes who can't man up when the team they want to win doesn't.
