4.  Somehow I knew Jeff Triplette would screw us someway. But that quick whistle on the forward progress fumble left me shaking my head in disbelief (aside from the loud string of profanities I spewed).  That call hurt us, but it didn't cost the team the game.  Nevertheless, does anybody have any faith that the Jaguars-not being one of the league's glamor franchises-can possibly avoid rectum wrecking calls like that if we go up against Pittsburgh or New England?

Not to quote whole post, because I agree.  But as an observation, I immediately wondered how much #4 had to do with the highlighted.

Funny you ask, because I did not readily associate the two points, but it makes you wonder if the refs might have been hypersensitive- at least when it came to the Jack taunting call.  I saw Jack standing over the guy, but not hearing what, if anything Jack said to him, I don't know if the call was legit or a case of an itchy trigger finger on the part of the ref.  The Jackson and Ngakoue calls seemed legit at face value.
