How bad are the NFL’s replacement refs?

Foxborough, MA - 09/16/12 - Fourth Quarter: New England Patriots running back Danny Woodhead (39) breaks free for a long touchdown run late in the fourth quarter but the play was brought back due to a holding penalty on New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (87), at right. The Patriots play the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium in the season home opener in Foxborough. - (Globe Staff Photo / Barry Chin), section: Sports, reporter: Shalise Manza-Young, slug: 17Cardinals-Patriots, LOID: 5.0.2732435456

Gronk's holding
In the final minute of the Patriots-Cardinals Week 2 matchup, it seemed as if the Patriots had pulled off a comeback when Danny Woodhead sprinted into the end zone on a 30-yard run. But with a yellow flag thrown on the field, it was obvious that a holding penalty was going to negate the touchdown. "I felt like it was a clean block," tight end Rob Gronkowski said. The Patriots missed a last-second field goal attempt and the Cardinals held on for the win.
