The refs allowed the teams to play and only called the obvious ones that couldn't be ignored. No ticky-tack calls that drive us all crazy. The only o-line holding call to be accepted was against NE.

The only legitimate gripe was the early whistle. It was a bang bang play and in real time, it was difficult to determine if it was a fumble or if the Jags' player was down by contact. Even in slo-mo and several angles of replay, it was difficult to tell. These plays are usually blown dead quickly, especially sine the refs didn't even seen to know the Jags got the ball.

Hopefully, despite the easy schedule, the Jags will return to the playoffs next year. Despite their schedule, they managed to lay the wood to the Steelers twice.

Thank you.

This constant whining about the refs makes Jags fans look so soft. And no one has sufficiently explained the mechanics of game fixing - and that's what you're saying it is - and why from Goodell down to the officials anyone would risk being involved in fixing games.

How many games have I been at where the guy next to me keeps screaming - "Let 'em play!", but when they do so ...

I don’t believe many fans are saying the games are actually fixed (maybe right after when emotions were high). There is a Foxboro/Brady bias however that every great QB will get. We used to get those calls and non-calls back in the early years. I will say the PI at the end of the 1st half was so ticky tack. Both players were fighting for position and hand checking. A pass from Bortles to Westbrook does not draw a flag in the same situation.
