They want 2 things.

People to be distracted.

People to waste their time.

It's very effective.

That's true. Also, I feel like Vegas and ratings ruined pro sports. It's all about the casual fans/money. People who want to watch good competition need to watch something else.

Nah. Jags choked. But I will say: Jags win outright if the refs don't blow the whistle on that fumble recovery. I hate seeing that. The play is gonna be reviewed anyway, why blow it dead?
:francis:
He would've been down by contact anyway if I recall. What's funny is that every fanbase in the NFL swears that the refs are against them. Patriots fans still swear that there was holding on that Eli pass to Tyree. And have complained about the refs being against us for every year post "spygate." Maybe, just maybe, the refs are inconsistent. It was this same season where the Patriots complained about holds on Gronk on every play. As for the Jaguars, that's the NFL and they need to stop crying about certain penalties not being called because they play up to and after the play is over every time. They could be whistled on damn near every play...but they are not. They held Steelers WRs ALL of last week. Cooks was behind them a lot, and there were both PIs that could have been called against them that were not.

How the fukk do the Jaguars expect to get calls on the Patriots defense when they spent the entire game running the ball and then play-actioning to wide open WRs to protect Bortles? The Patriots defense were not playing an aggressive offense. I reject their deposit.

Despite the Jaguars running the ball and playing to protect Bortles all game, there was at least one play where Marcedes Lewis was interfered with and no flag was thrown. I might be wrong on the play, but I think it was this one:

3rd and 9 at JAX 38
(6:34 - 4th) (Shotgun) B.Bortles pass incomplete short right to M.Lewis.

Tough to see one team getting hit with suspect DPI and the other team walk away with one penalty when I see the contact.

Refs blew the play dead and it got reviewed to see if Dion actually fumbled and the Jags still had the ball, which they didn't do shyt with. That missed hold wasn't a deciding factor for the game considering the Jags lead most of it. No one knows what was even going on in the last picture, it's out of context.

number 71 was pushed into the ref and telling the ref im sorry i didnt mean too and the ref said , relax , i saw your were pushed into me. thats why ref was laughing cause number 71 was apologizing like crazy

the blatant hold on lewis went uncalled, then a similar play the next drive was called on the jags. could the jags have won? obviously, they had chances. every judgment call went the pats way though, and thats also a fact. the last 2 mins of the first half was insanely bad, due to some jags ineptness and then the refs

close delay of game cancelled out a converted third down, out of a timeout
jags punted before winding the clock 10 seconds to the 2 min warning when pats only had one timeout
ensuing drive lewis was called out of bounds, when he clearly was in, saving 20 seconds and the pats would have had to hurry to line to get quick play in. instead they calmly got a play in which was flag for hit on gronk
play after the hit on gronk, awful PI call to get pats goal to go
jags kneel out with 55 seconds left and 2 timeouts

shyt like that is how you lose games. couple bad decisions, shytty calls, and a huge swing in win expectancy

I've seen enough of this BS from Green Bay that I just can't watch anymore. This is the main reason for ratings dropping. People are tired of seeing the refs be in the tank for certain teams. Game has become too predictable :francis:
