Quote:None of this addresses the particular issue being here though. The way a game is called should not be impacted by who's playing nor coaching. Buffalo gets bent over regularly by the refs also.


We're talking about a substantial number of egregious, game changing penalties that weren't called. We aren't talking about questionable, could-go-either-way ones...and he's right. No team should have to go out and have to play both their scheduled opponent and the zebras. Frankly, the refs set that precedent in week 1. Hell, it's almost like the zebras got maD Caldwell put them on blast and are getting even.


Regardless, I don't know why some people in this thread are coming for Bullseye. All dude does is be respectful, share his perspective and impart some knowledge along the way. We suck. We all know this but seriously, find a more constructive way to vent your frustration.

I assume you are referring to other posters when talking about coming after Bullseye, so I am not gonna address that.


I understand and even agree that it should be all equal and fair. But the world, and the NFL doesn't work that way. You know the refs bias coming in, you have to prepare for and deal with it. Whining that they are not fair with turnovers is pointless. We get tons of ticky tack calls every week that are indicative of a very undisciplined team.


If Gus knows that the Jags have a history of calls going against us, and he knows that the league will not correct it, then he needs to adjust. In a way he is darwining himself by his refusal to coach the team up about these discipline issues. The outbursts, the roughing the passers real late, the blatant offsides. All these things say the team is amped up, but running way out of control. You don't see this stuff with teams like the Patriots. Gus team may play 'fast and loose' but they are not good enough to overcome their own mistakes.


But I know I know, asking for mistake limited football from the Jags at this point is like asking for a beach in Montana.
