Quote:What does the Jaguars' lack of discipline have to do with the disparate pass interference application, or the failure of the refs to stop the clock when the player steps out of bounds? If anyone showed a lack of discipline yesterday, it was the refs.

 

Refs should be full time positions and paid appropriately.  For an entity like the NFL, it is past time that they have an evaluation system.  The game is very fast but the theory is a core permanent referee group would have more time to adjust to the speed of the game and have a more uniform application of the rules.

 

Player safety should be the number one enforcement.  The ticky tacky stuff that is called inconsistently should be decided and applied by the "permanent" referees.

 

Honestly I agree with your last few comments about it seeming odd that we are accepting the ref calls but I'm just not seeing it matter for a 2-9 team that has shown very little progress under an inept coach.  When I read the stores about Hue Jackson and see the real emotion as the Browns struggle, I have more emotion for them.  We have an organizational problem.

 

Sadly the season has been the let down for the Jaguars for 3 years running.  The team has done a good job with off season hype but not action.
