    It carried through, though not uniformly, the majority of the season.



    DPI actually went down 33
    D Holding went up 105
    Illegal Use Hands went up 119
    OPI went up 64
    Illegal Contact went up 88

      Your probably correct in the minds of the officials at the time it all went down.

      Unfortunately that and.... not knowing one another well enough being an ALL STAR Team of Officials and such.

      and ...Juggling the red flag and microphone an announcement of the official explanation became well ... all too complicated.

          No no NO !

          The GREEN BAY PACKERS ST's must play ' the game of their life '.

          The Packer 'D' needs to 'control Demarco Murray' and not ignore the potent Dallas passing attack.

          Why?

          Dallas QB Tony Romo is on a mission. He likes it in Seattle.

            This I think gets to the crux of the matter on this play. The push by Pettigrew was ticky-tack and would not normally be called. The PI by Hitchens was blatant and would be called damn near every time - except this one.

              Where are:

              Offensive and defensive pass interference (PI) penalties?

              I learned some weeks ago that offensive pass interference calls are way up this season.

                I noticed on a couple of the bars there is no description of what they are comparing.

                  Yeah, its an auto-generated image from an interactive graph and the labels didn't some through on some. Here is an edited version with missing labels replace by me.

                      I'm not asking for a review. I'm asking for consistency. And, on the vast, vast majority of plays, a flag isn't thrown and picked up when there are three penalties. It's very poor officiating.

                        I saw all kinds of small bumps and grabs called that didn't necessarily impact the play in an obvious manner. Also, I don't think " impact the play in an obvious manner" is part of the rule or part of the emphasis. And missed calls (poor officiating) should not be made an excuse for further blown calls.

                        Furthermore, the 'let 'em play' in the playoffs rule is unfair, since teams base strategies off regular season rule, and changes gives some teams unfair advantage (e.g. Seattle and NE) because they are better at mugging receivers; and some teams disadvantage (e.g. GB). (If you come back and say that teams are aware of different standards in the playoffs, I agree and know that teams like GB will alter strategy to accommodate - but that still doesn't mean it's good officiating).

                          What key players said about pass-interference penalty

                            People will be talking about this play for a few days, either justifying to themselves the pickup was correct or complaining that they was robbed, whichever suits their needs. As far as I am concerned, it is over, Cowboys are coming to Green Bay. Let's just hope we don't get a similar call against the Packers on Sunday.

                              More than in previous years? I sure did not. Part way through the season there was an article that indicated PI was not up at all compared to previous years. If they were calling it tighter, you would expect some increase as players learned the new boundaries. (Edit - Perhaps there was when PB's chart is considered, indicating an actual increase.)

                              Did I say it was part of the rule? No I did not, nor did I state it in isolation. BUT it or something similar to it, and the other qualifiers I mentioned, along with probably still aothers are part of the practical application of the rule. Just like every hold by the O-line is not penalized, nor every nudge by a WR against a DB, nor every contact by a DB beyond 5 yards. None of these are applied literally in every instance. All are applied with some level of discretion.

                              It's unfair to GB. Were you complaining about it being unfair in the playoffs following the 2010 season when Woodson was mugging receivers with virtual impunity?

                                You could argue that there should have been offsetting penalties. Or if they had not throw any flag at all, well, PI often gets called wrong. But to pick up the flag after it was called, and very reasonably so, that is crooked.
