This. There were people complaining in the game thread during the 1st half about how stuff like that wasn't getting called. Then when it does get called, people still complain. Let's just be honest. A lot of you aren't going to be happy unless every call/non-call goes in our favor. We played like crap in the 1st half. End of story. Refs had nothing to do with it.

Missed holding all over and Whitworth was 5 yards downfield on Watkins TD. Impossible to miss that call....although they often do.
They give and they take away.

My problem is calling that while Aaron Donald is being more blatantly held on the same play. But whatever. They let a similar hold go on our 94-yard TD on Clowney, so it is what it is.
They were bad but at least they were bad both ways. That's all we can really hope for.

As I stated in another thread, Whitworth was ok down the field as long as the reception is at or behind the LOS
Watkins was right on it

I didn't see any replay of it. But it looked like a BS call to me! I hope someone can come up with a clip of it!!

Somebody needs to inform Dan Fouts on the finer points of that rule; then maybe he would've stopped his pissing & moaning over that play.
My issue with it is that on play actions guys are allowed to literally tackle the RB - I can't remember if this was play action or not, but being that the grab occurred essentially at or behind the line of scrimmage, I didn't think it should have been called.

I have been corrected on this. Watkins caught the ball beknd the line of scrimmage, therefore Whitworth was legally downfield.

I agree . Ogletree was trying to read the play. He put his arm out , shed or guard the RB. Then he turned & was getting back into coverage. The ball was under thrown & Ogletree made an excellent play.
The call was poor imo. Then again if he grabbed him & actually held him then I would say it was a good call.
It looked like all he did was extend out & they got tangled a little.
