Just so we are clear, I did say the Jags would win. And they didn't. My bad. |

Goatless, just the kind of response I expected. So 1 penalty for 10 yards vs. 6 for 98 yards is calling almost nothing? I guess so, if you're a Pats fan. Also calling Esiason a "Pats hating commentator" is a typical snide comment. The Patriots, and their fans, are the sorest winners in the sport.

My TV almost made a high velocity emergency exit at the nearest window, but thankfully it didn't come to that.
Go PATS!

Not a sore winner- you're the one that came on and said that the refs were playing for the Pats.

People mistake a disciplined team as a team who gets calls in their favor.

The PI in the first half was a bad call. I don't like the rule that resulted in the flag on the hit to Gronk but no argument with the call. I thought the late PI call was suspect. But every game has those calls, I think the Jags could have won anyway. My group thought the fumble should have been reversed and only stood cause the Jags got the call in the first place.
But I thought this pic was funny, not sour grapes. Only posting as humor. I believe the Jags showed they have a quality team. They silenced a lot of critics. And I don't know if Gillette is normally that quiet, but I was pretty convinced a lot of Pats fans had reason to think they were going down today, they were pretty quiet once the Jags went ahead and stayed that way til the Jags final misfire. |

You're right, 7 penalties is low. But a 1 to 6 ratio isn't. And it seems to be the rule rather than the exception in most of their games. As for the sore winner, I stand by your snarky comment about Esiason as proving my point.

People also mistake professional sports as being played with complete parity.

BTW - Saying you grudgingly respect them as a team doesn't acquit you of the fanciful claims that followed.

Fantastic game. Love those Jaguars they really have a lot going for them. But separate the noise on the internet and all you have left is a team that won a good game. It sure looked at one point like it may have gone either way. It got quiet there for a while, too. But Brady pulled it together again. Always a pleasure to see the come from behind win.

What "fanciful claims" did I make? It's a fact there were only 7 penalties called, and 6 of them were against the Jaguars. That any team is "disciplined" enough to only commit 1 penalty in an entire game is as ridiculous as your claim of unsportsman-like conduct not being called against the Jags. The outcome of the game wasn't even a forgone conclusion until late in the 4th quarter. Calling a commentator a "Patriots hating whiner" is a snide, sore winner-type comment, which your above claim smacks of too. The only "claim" I made is it seems calls that could go either way, seem to go their way. And it's a only claim because I don't care enough to actually check. -Dave

Since you are such a learned fan and astute viewer, I'm certain you can go play by play and tell us exactly which players on which play should have received penalties....but you won't because you can't. Truth is the Patriots ARE a team that is so disciplined that they can receive only 1 penalty in a game. It is that discipline that allows them to win repeatedly and set the records they have. You may choose to disagree because you cannot stomach the alternative but it is the truth and both their play & their record supports it. To also deny that the Jaguars were pushing, shoving and s**t talking their way into fights at the end of the game is laughable as well. I was texting with a photographer friend of mine on the field all through the game who told me exactly what was going on. It didn't get a lot of air time and the refs quickly broke things up, but the Jaguars were poor losers and were letting the Patriots know it! Lastly, don't confuse my statements and Jeremy's as the same or expect us not to defend a team we follow against your baseless unsupported claims. Barry Church was a gentleman in the locker room after the game explaining his contact with Gronkowski - you should be here as well.
