The opening kickoff

I may not know the exact rule, but was that a hold on Lawrence? It looked to me like the guy got low on him, and Lawrence simply pushed him to the ground. Also, I don't think it really factored into the play all that much. Berry is just good.

If the guy doesn't end up on the ground, it probably doesn't get called. That play cost us 7 points and field position for much of the first quarter.

Push is okay as long as you don't end up on top of him. Pull, like our guy did, is an easy penalty.

It was a good call. The sad thing is that it wasn't necessary. It would have been a TD without the hold.

Seriously, is it too much to ask for refs to exercise a little 17ing common sense?
