Skins have had their share of weak calls made against them vs the Cowboys, etc. To me the whole holding thing needs to be eliminated, unless a player is dragged down by his jersey and pass interference needs to go back to being a straight up 15 yards. The NFL uses the refs as controls anymore with regards to keeping the tempo of the game to help with the desired outcome. These calls are too subjective in that in some instances a player could get mugged with a non call then in the same game a guy can get pass intereference called on him for merely making incidental contact, like hips grazing each other, etc. The ref gets called an idiot, but keeps his job, and the league and bookies make their money.
