So am I. You'd be crazy to say that the Jaguars couldn't have won if they'd performed better on offence or defence late in the game (when you know that they could have).

You'd also be crazy to say you should just forget officiating causing a 14-point swing in a 4-point game.

I've always been the first to say that the best way to deal with officials gifting the other team a touchdown or taking away one of yours is simple; just score another one. If you don't do that, then at the end of the day you lose. But don't ignore the fact that bad officiating swung that game by more points than the final differential. Because if you ignore either side of the equation, then frankly you're not looking at what DID happen.

Exactly! Had we lost by 21 points and had a couple calls go against us, oh well. But the way we lost is so frustrating. The non calls for holding make it seem like we werent being aggresive enough when in reality those non calls stopped drives in the fourth quarter when we were moving the ball to potentially score more points. I really wanted the PATS to win just so we would have that extra chip on our shoulder to beat the brakes off them next year!
