has he been suffering for years like the others?

I got the asterisk ready if we win it all

the king of the inconsequential sack

He was being held sooner than you think. Prominent players who get held usually draw a flag, but since Suh is a dirty player coming off a week of controversy, it's not inconceivable that the ref looked the other way.

so much anger

holding on Crawford and the Lions have 50+ minutes to atone. penalty on Leary = punt and then five minutes left in the season. yes, we could have forced a 3 and out and then won on a last drive, or we could have met Stafford's fate with a blindside fumble. in all likelihood they did not see...

not a full 10 yards, but rather half the distance to the goal line because they were inside the 20

ok, fine. let's settle for holding

did Gov Christie fall down?

Actually, because Stafford picked up the first down, it would have been 3rd and 15 after the penalty--not easy to convert, but not implausible either. agreed, which is why it doesn't matter if Suh got to Romo or not. he was being held, and that's a penalty

sure, you could make the case for holding, but it doesn't explain/excuse the 80 yards that followed, and at 7-0, it was hardly at a critical point in the game.

please. I own you worse than Kunta Kinte.

nah. all they needed was Church on Tate, a stupid special teamer and a shitty tackle attempt by Patmon

I watched the replay. absolutely nothing.

we needed two critical penalties to be ignored or overturned in order to win this game; they didn't

Leary wasn't blocking; he was holding on for dear life with one arm. I love how obvious penalties are no longer obvious when Dallas commits them.

so what? the point is that "turning the shoulders" is not necessary to draw a flag for holding a defensive lineman or any other player

Leary was no longer blocking at that point. he was using one arm to impede Suh's path to Romo. tugging on a WR's jersey from behind, which slows him down but doesn't "turn his shoulders," is still holding

aka, the truth. the NFL called it a blatant hold and they were right. when the NFL apologizes to Dallas for missing a Detroit penalty, I'll get right on it
