Why has the NFL stopped calling offensive holding suddenly?

Not one has been call throughout the playoffs. (at least not in any game I have watched)

Is this a Roger Goodell thing?

It has completely changed the game. Defense means very little.

It's like watching guys run token obstacle courses.

Not as enjoyable in my opinion. I loved the game as it was.

Apparently, you can only hold during an interception return against the Colts.

I think they changed the rule that if your hands are more than twelve inches out from your chest.........and you hold...........you will get flagged........inside that you can almost do anything you want......... I saw somebody demonstrate this on ESPN a while back............
