Even if he did HOLD him (and he did), it is so much better to see Douglas out there trying to make play than watching #20 playing soft and giving up play after play.

Got to get some health.

He did grab the jersey.  But in fairness, the refs are not going to make a call there that could be game deciding unless it's egregious.  And, I don't think it was egregious.  The receiver was also pushing off with the left arm.  You could argue equal and opposing pressure, handfighting equally, which often doesn't get called.  Not egregious there.  Nice play by Rasul to end the game.  Go Pack!!!

We may be at the time of year when the ref's eyes won't be quite as sharp and/or they're not so quick to throw a flag just because it "looked" like there was PI.

It sure looked like a hold, but the grab and release was so fast, it was hard to notice. So I'll say it was a damn good play by Douglas.

Rasual Fucking Douglas.  

We have unseen anything like this since Tramon Williams and Shields got hot for the super bowl run.

Those two didn’t "get hot".  They were rounding into the players they became, which was pretty damn good.  Same for that GB offense.

Beat me to it.

My understanding of the rules, and I could be wrong, is that when 11 initiated the contact with Rasul he gave the defender the right for contact.

Soon as you see a jersey pull it's a hold.
