Quote:No, in this case they did. Turnovers are too big a play in a close game to just say "They should have played better and won anyway."


If it's just a case of random bad officiating, then you'll win some and you'll lose some on that front, and it'll even out. But that hasn't remotely happened this year; the Jaguars have been on the receiving end of the vast majority of the bad calls - especially where it's been game-alteringly bad. That's not saying they're a good team, or that Bortles is playing well, or that Bradley needs to be off the hottest seat in the NFL. But even with those things, the officiating has been bad, and I'm glad Bortles spoke out about it after this game.
