Is this true?
I saw someone post on social media: that the Packers were the only team in the NFL last week... that was NOT called for holding.
Anyone else heard / seen that confirmed as fact?
I believe it was also posted in one of the threads on this board. I can't remember the poster but they checked the stats and came to the same conclusion.

I posted it here. I could not believe since the NFL has put an emphasis on calling holding penalties this year that the Packers were not called for a single hold Sunday considering they were facing one of the best D lines in the league and were facing Griffen and Hunter. So I went to the box score on every game and went through the play by plays of each game. Unless I missed one which is possible, the only team not called for a hold in week two were the Packers. It sounds like I have no life and nothing better to do LOL but it really doesnt take long because you onlyhave to check the first half of most games to find at least one hold on each team. Funny thing is I believe the Packers were called for a couple if not more in the first game at Chicago.
A referee's Code of Conduct when officiating a game at Lambeau:
(Feel free to add to this list)
!) "If you don't look for holding, it will not be called."
2) "The visiting team shall always have more assessed penalties than the home team."
3) "The 25 second play clock for the home team to call a play is more of a guideline than a rule."
4) "No visiting team defensive player shall touch the home team QB without express, written consent of the National Football League."

Ya know, I'd like to add something. But, this is just to real for me...
Number 5 if a play for the opponent (especially the Vikings) results in a score, review until you find something to reverse the score
6. Feel free to ignore recently revised rules, or over enforce them, whichever benefits the home team.
And to quote EG, "they are really good at it."
