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 ...

Nobody is crying the games are fixed. Most fans here, and even in the mainstream media are simply pointing how historically lopsided the officiating was in a close contest. The last time an opponent in an AFCC game received ONE penalty was in 2011 when the patsies managed to narrowly hold off a Ravens team by 3 points. Very similar to our contest. That's all people are saying. 

I am not saying there's a grand conspiracy out there with rigged games. But there was a clear cut issue with terrible and lopsided officiating in our game. Period. It doesn't take a [BLEEP] lot to see that. Anyone with eyes. Whether you're a casual fan, can't stand the Jaguars or a die hard fan will tell you that game was completely [BLEEP] when it came to the officiating.
