I honestly don't think it will be much longer before certain penalties are also reviewed. The NFL is now a parity driven league and with teams being so close talent wise, you cannot have bad calls deciding games. You can take 3-4 games each week in the league, change a single play, A SINGLE PLAY, and the outcome is different. I'd be all for holding calls, face masks, pass interference and so on being reviewed.

I agree on PI. . No way you can do it for holding. Just impossible.
OK, I learned something tonight and I've been watching football a long time! Coaches and coordinators are calling the Packers about the way they teach their O-line to block. There are also some teams complaining to the league they consider it holding. I watch but didn't realize about hand placing for inside or outside in pass protection.
I'm not trying to start something or make matters worse, but I did think it was interesting and if enough calls are made to the league, it could be an issue.

I have been coaching several years, albeit at the Pee Wee level, and we have always teach our offensive lineman to keep your hands inside the numbers.. if you go outside the numbers, you can get called for holding.. so basically the Packers are moving their hands a little outside the numbers, but not so much that they get flagged for holding but just enough to get better leverage. Obviously NOT rocket science here but probably something they work on specifically at practice vs keeping your hands inside the numbers.
Here is what will likely happen. Other teams will start to implement this and the league and officials will start to call or holding... or maybe they continue to allow it.. Holding is really something a defender initiates.. great pass rushers generate holding calls and not so great ones do not. Offensive lineman will instinctively HOLD when they get beat.. Its no secret that the Cowboys don't have great pass rushers so it should come as no surprise that there were no holding calls on the Packers offensive line..
not a falcons fan despite living in Atlanta.. just satisfying to see the Packers LOSE so we can STOP hearing the NFL media talking about Rodgers.. yea yea, he's great.. but he sux today so enough!

Ok I see. Rodgers met his match today and then some with Matt Ryan.

Rodgers wasn't the issue for the most part, it was the defense. Packers defense could not stop Atlanta's offense. They just give up big pass plays way too much.
