I think defensive holding could have been called. Thats different than PI.
Game would have still been far from over.

absofuckinglutely. he made contact before the ball arrived and without playing the ball. lemme send you this tardy Xmas gift
What does without playing the ball have to do with anything ? It doesn't. a shoulder touch with no force? Not worth the grassy knoll conspiracy theorists. It happened to twill on a deep ball. Earlier. Get a grip

Why is this the only 50/50 call that's getting anyone's consternation ? Why aren't we going back over everything ?

These things happen.
Much like the the phantom PI call on Benny Barnes in SBXIII,or the non-call on Prime v Irvin in the 94 NFC championship game(And the subsequent unsportsmanlike on SixGun Barry).
This will have legs for a long time,like the two I just mentioned.
I don't see the Steelers or the Niners giving up their Lombardis.
Moving on.

Yes.
A solid holding and a solid facemask. 8/10 on a scale. Would offset. And a non existent PI. (I'm taking Into account ppl aren't as smart as me and think face guarding is a flag).
Is staffords scramble not even bigger ? It was only possible with a hold of Crawford. The lions sure got lucky there huh. No? Why didn't they?
There's also way more offensive line holding and defensive back holding throughout a game right? So it's negligible. How often do they miss roughing the qb? Very rarely. The lions got gifted another 15 there . Etc
The cowboys aren't the ones who erronuesly threw a flag. They just kinda held pettigrew. Suck a dick. They won

“I was glad we were on the winning side of the call,” Cowboys safety Barry Church said. "I’ve never seen that in my life where they marked off the penalty yardage, then picked up the flag and remarked it. I had never seen it. Then there was no explanation.”
Enter Dean Blandino, NFL vice president of officiating, who went on the league’s network and NBC’s ProFootballTalk Live on Monday to discuss the decision made by a crew that hadn’t regularly worked together and whose individual members were selected based on performance.
Although Blandino said the pass interference call was debatable, he asserted that Hitchens should have been penalized for defensive holding.
“Had the officials recognized that, we should have had a foul down for that infraction,” Blandino said on the NFL Network.

It is pass interference by either team when any player movement beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders the progress of an eligible player of such player’s opportunity to catch the ball. Offensive pass interference rules apply from the time the ball is snapped until the ball is touched. Defensive pass interference rules apply from the time the ball is thrown until the ball is touched.
Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiver’s opportunity to make the catch.
(b) Playing through the back of a receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.
(c) Grabbing a receiver’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.
(d) Extending an arm across the body of a receiver thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, regardless of whether the defender is playing the ball.
(e) Cutting off the path of a receiver by making contact with him without playing the ball.
(f) Hooking a receiver in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the receiver’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving.
Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Incidental contact by a defender’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball, or neither player is looking for the ball. If there is any question whether contact is incidental, the ruling shall be no interference.
(b) Inadvertent tangling of feet when both players are playing the ball or neither player is playing the ball.
(c) Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the pass is clearly uncatchable by the involved players.
(d) Laying a hand on a receiver that does not restrict the receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.
(e) Contact by a defender who has gained position on a receiver in an attempt to catch the ball.
Actions that constitute offensive pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Blocking downfield by an offensive player prior to the ball being touched.
(b) Initiating contact with a defender by shoving or pushing off thus creating a separation in an attempt to catch a pass.
(c) Driving through a defender who has established a position on the field.
Actions that do not constitute offensive pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Incidental contact by a receiver’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball or neither player is looking for the ball.
(b) Inadvertent touching of feet when both players are playing the ball or neither player is playing the ball.
(c) Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the ball is clearly uncatchable by involved players.
Note 1: If there is any question whether player contact is incidental, the ruling should be no interference.
Note 2: Defensive players have as much right to the path of the ball as eligible offensive players.
Note 3: Pass interference for both teams ends when the pass is touched.
Note 4: There can be no pass interference at or behind the line of scrimmage, but defensive actions such as tackling a receiver can still result in a 5-yard penalty for defensive holding, if accepted.
Note 5: Whenever a team presents an apparent punting formation, defensive pass interference is not to be called for action on the end man on the line of scrimmage, or an eligible receiver behind the line of scrimmage who is aligned or in motion more than one yard outside the end man on the line. Defensive holding, such as tackling a receiver, still can be called and result in a 5-yard penalty and automatic first down from the previous spot, if accepted. Offensive pass interference rules still apply.

No, that's not how this works.
You can't ask a question about what "not playing the ball" has to do with it, then move on to another point when you get educated.

They're the same bulletin point dickface. He absolutely did not interfere. I promise you. Watch the play. He does touch pettigrew but pettigrew is not influenced by hitchens in any way. Hitchens is facing him, touches him, and pettigrew decides to leans back looking for the angle to catch an underthrown ball.
