Eh meanwhile if a Seattle O-Lineman sneezes a holding penalty is called. Just coincidence. Dallas has also played some decent O-Lines in the last several games which might account for something. I'm sure once Dallas plays Seattle there will be 30 O-Line holding penalties to catch you up.

Gonna be interesting when we play then. Refs won't know who to screw over!

Yeah, I'm sure the NFL would just hate having it's most popular, profitable and marketable franchise being successful.

It really is ridiculous, right?

I would not say the chargers ol is that great. They just held the entire game and honestly there is no way for 8 straight games an OL is going to be perfect.

Goodell needs to be kicked in the teeth for ruining the Cowboys season. The lack of holding penalties is only part of the issue. The refs are also ignoring blatant face masks and other obvious personal fouls. Goodell can go fuck himself

I hear this argument all the time. The revenue is split across the League.


Ratings generate revenue

Dallas draws ratings, especially when they are good

Its why teams like Dallas and the Yankees are televised as much as these leagues can get away with

The no hold stat is about the OL no holding Dallas FL, but if the ONLY hold is one hold by a WR dont you see the issue?

I'm not going to sift through 8 games worth of play of play, but are you guys sure that ZERO holding flags were thrown? I mean quite often the flag is thrown on the defense but if the offense gets the first down anyway they just decline the flag. And then on a stat sheet it looks like there wasn't a penalty when actually there would have been if the team accepted it. See what I'm saying? Just because a bunch of penalties don't show up in the stat column it doesn't mean there were zero flags actually thrown.

Last I checked, the OP didn't state that.

Not my job, not my prob.
Yeah, I did make that mistake of not specifying that I'm actually addressing offensive line holding calls. That's my bad.

So, please reconsider the issue with the knowledge that no holds have been called on the offensive linemen of the opponents of the Dallas Cowboys for over 8 games, something that has never happened in the history of the NFL.

No. You can look it up for yourself. There have been no holding calls on offensive linemen either accepted or declined for over 33 quarters now.

Well that would be a crazy stat then. I'll take your word for it. No way I'm looking it up. Meanwhile, while I typed this, 4 flags were thrown against the Seattle defense.

Id be interested to see how this ranks vs other teams in the league

How huge is the disparity between the Cowboys and other teams
