Post gifs for top 3 missed holding calls

bet you’re one of those that still complains about 06 PI call.


Games over. Who gives a frick now. When it was going on it was obvious but don’t change a thing now.

Cool...so 0-4 so far.

Pussy

Well this isn’t a gif, but a video clip from my thread yesterday of the hold on the LSU RT which directly resulted in their first TD. This should have backed them up ten yards which changes the complexion of the drive entirely.

AU DE Moultry hooked by RT

I don’t have the gif at the moment but earlier in that drive, Burrow’s 3rd and 12 scramble was available because of a hold on Derrick Brown. Obviously the failure by the officials to appropriately flag these holds had a major impact on the game.

You can clearly tell from that video that it wasn’t holding by there not being a penalty flag thrown for it. You guys did try to mug our WR that play though, thanks for highlighting this again.

How? At worst you are getting offsetting penalties for the pass interference?

You’re right, and that was my mistake in not noticing that. Still that could’ve resulted in either a long FG attempt or a stalled drive which would’ve changed the game.

I understand that these things can go both ways, but AU’s best asset is their defensive line and the officials’ failure to police the holding neutered their effectiveness and directly assisted LSU’s offensive success in both sustaining drives (further exhausting the defense) and on scoring plays. I would like to think LSU fans could empathize with this perspective but many seem incapable of recognizing their paradoxical rationale.

Right. At worst. At best? Burrow gets sacked.

I agree there was a bad PI call on LSU. The refs also missed multiple holds that went in LSU's favor as did the 3rd down and goal spot, and that late 3rd down forward progress spot that had to be reviewed.

No one is pretending that LSU didn't have a few bad calls -- penalty or otherwise -- during the game.

And I've already said it elsewhere, but Auburn has their opportunities and blew almost all of them. That's not on anyone but Auburn.

However, it is true that from about the 2nd quarter through the end of the 3rd quarter that LSU's O-line was holding with reckless abandon. Spare me the bullshite about there being holding on every play. Everyone is well aware of that. What people don't like is when there are multiple blatant and egregious holds that don't get called.

The officiating didn't cost Auburn the game. Their execution on offense, particularly at the QB position, is what cost them the game.

But, for LSU fans to pretend like they didn't get away with some egregious holds is beyond ridiculous. If a team had kept holding a stellar LSU D-line like LSU did to Auburn's, there'd be a GoFundMe with 100k in for billboards on the front page of the Rant right now.

I think all most people are saying is to stop being fricking hypocrites.
