DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

I understand what Bosa said; they are holding him a lot. Let me teach you the football rules. You need to learn the NFL rules books do. It's not holding because the LT has both arms inside his pad; it's legal. It's not holding according to the NFL rules book. If his arms were outside and the defense end was behind him, yes, that's holding, but if his arms were inside the front of his shoulder pads, that's legal. No penalty. You need to learn to read the NFL rules because they don't know them. NFL referees and NFL rules books do.

It was a 50 50 call and it went against us

Bosa was held on other plays and consistently he doesn't get calls.

Kansas City Chrifs are the most penalised offensive line in the league

You do the MATH

If Bosa doesn't get one or two calls his way this Superbowl then it is on the Refs.

Where's the lie lol the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line do hold a lot. Just in their last game, Trey Smith got called for b2b holding calls on a drive I think in the mid 3rd Quarter. They do hold quite a bit. Another thing..

The timing of penalties is always questionable when I'm watching football in general. All of a sudden something that was a penalty all game now they're swallowing the whistle.

Crazy he already has this. Need 2-3 more come 2 Sundays from now.

So what exactly did Bosa do that was special?
Hit him....nope.
Sack him....nope.
Touch him...nope.
Breath on him....nope.

Was Goff able to step up and cleanly get the ball off...yep.

Should it have been completed....probably.

Yeah sorry to interrupt class but everyone knows and sees they hold.
They didn't "steer" Bosa by his shoulder pads, the tackle close line tackled him on the Chiefs 3rd and 15 in the last SB. Before you give Mahomes so much credit for not getting sacked, his Oline has been getting holding no calls for years because he's the NFLs golden boy and they absolutely play favorites. In a league where a single play can turn a game, there's nothing wron GB with calling out poor inequitable reffing that can easily decide any close game in the NFL. The 49ers need to leave no doubts that they should win the game.
This has got to be a revenge game some for Bosa..I wouldn't wanna be other the other side if Bosa is in that zone..LG

Nah the refs will say gee the Chiefs finally got it together and had a penalty-less game

He's not wrong. The NFL doesn't want pass rushers though. They want entertainment. Passing.

So Bosa needs to understand that and start interjecting some Neymar into his game so officials have to start calling these because it'll be covered by the commentators and video for all to hear/see.

Forcing that one call could be the difference (as we so intimately know).

To win superbowls you have to beat the opposing team *and* the refs. That's the Bill Walsh standard of winning.

This. Bosa needs to step up and be 2022 Bosa.

The 49ers OL also has to understand and start holding too, if officials aren't calling offensive holding. Two can play that game.

Literally every team in the NFL gets away with holding all game. The niners included.

Max was doing the exact same thing in that video while trying to look like a bad ass, "Shoot you see the Rams in our last game? Tackling me on every play" EXACT same thing as Bosa said, hypocrit.

Imagine telling a player to learn the rules from the comfort of your computer. And you're referencing one play, pretty sure Bosa is talking about the entire game.

They hold. All teams hold. Some get away with it more than others.
