Quote:I think losing makes one sees the refs more

I believe the calls tend to even out overall

I'm with you on both of these. But. For the Jaguars this year those calls haven't evened out, particularly not in equally important situations. I strongly believe that at least two wins this season have been turned into losses solely by bad and seemingly partisan officiating, and that this team would be at 5 wins at least by now had that not happened. At the end of the day I don't care about that too much - it probably moved us up the draft board a bit and hastened Gus Bradley's inevitable departure, but it didn't cost us a playoff berth or anything crazy like that. But there were too many game changing decisions going against us. I'm normally a fan of the idea that you need to play well enough to overcome a bit of adversity, and that within a game you'll get bad/missed calls both ways. But this season has been too one-sided, against a team that doesn't yet have the ability to overcome adversity above and beyond their competition.
