 The QB weighs a bit heavier when measuring roster talent, no? 

The pats coached a little better in the second half than the jags, but the jags are limited in their options offensively because they have to constantly guard against putting Blake in a position to turn the ball over. Not exactly a full palette to paint with. 

I'm not whining and complaining. There were some stupid calls and a number of non-calls but not terribly more than there are in most games. 

I actually predicted 24-20 NE if the jags make mistakes and 27-20 Jags if the Jags  don't screw up. We know which happened. 

Defensively - The Jags should have played less zone and played more press - jamming Amendola and Cooks at the line. They didn't. That was a mistake.  They should have kept their foot on the gas on offense in the third quarter - but they kept getting backed up an didn't want #5 to throw picks.  That's an understandable strategy given his history of doing so. 

The Jags are simply a few pieces away on offense from being able to beat the pats right now.  If they had their #1 receiver and a run blocking upgrade or two on the O-Line - they probably pull that one off - even with Bortles. 

Congrats on the win. Pretty good game.

With exception of Brady, if you compare the over all rostersjags are much better. I agree with your assessment on zone coverage Brady  is 70% against Zones. When teams have played man he has struggled badly.  I thought it was a good game. I look foward to playing you guys next year at your place.  Just add one thing. The main problem I have with officiating is the inconsistency. Sometimes you see a blatant  PI calls that does not get called , then you see someone barely touched and it’s PI. Need full-time refs across-the-board. PI calls are devastating especially if the QB heaves it in the end zone it is set at the 1 yard line.  Perhaps PI call should be reviewable or be a 15 yard penalty rather than a spot foul.
