So what is it we are missing or not understanding? What constitutes a hold and what is a legal block that apparently looks like holding to a lot of us here?
Are the Refs really turning a blind eye that often? Or are we as fans just not understanding the rules?

You can grab and engage a rusher as long as it is inside his pads (unwritten rule). You can't wrap your arm around his neck, and you can't grab and pull him down anywhere. If he's getting bulldogged by a LT, it should be a flag, and it's being missed.
