Terrible Officiating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been pretty bad.

I really disagreed with that penalty against Bennet...I thought the Jags' wr was more in the wrong.

Even more-so was the delay of game when JAx had it insid our 10! how could they not call that? There was so much time that elapsed from that play to the next (TD run) i don't see how the booth didn't call down or anything.

However, I will say i think salaam has gotten away with a few holds/illegal blocks.
 
And then they call that an interception. I am so f'ing fuming right now!!!!!! I am gonna have to go find these guys after the game.
 
Terrible officiating. Of course it doesn't help when your team is atrocious. Defense forces zero punts? This is the 3rd time in a row the defense has been abysmal. Maybe that dumbsh*t Richard Smith should try to change things up because, frankly, he is entering Fangio territory.
 
Did it really matter? It may have resulted in a few more points, but when you play like cowards you get beat every time. Houston got whooped... period.
 
The game was over before it started.

For some reason, you can just sense that this officiating crew somehow, for some reason, was decidedly giving Jags the benefit of the doubt.

Today was a situation of our D getting shafted by bad ref calls...and then having absolutely no energy left after the refs giving the Jags 1st down after 1st down after 1st down on the 3rd down situations where we would hold, but they get a flag that bailed them out.

The Reggie Williams no-call, and the no-call on the delay of game are perhaps the two EASIEST calls to make. How the NFL Officiating Committee is going to be able to gloss those over is beyond me.

It was blatant negligence by the refs, and it cost us TWO TOUCHDOWNS. And it essentially drained the life out of our team. You cannot ask those guys to play that hard all game and then make them stay out there on D because the refs want to get cute on stuff. Throw in Richard Smith, who might possibly be catching onto this new fad called "The Screen Pass," and we had a recipe for disaster like this.

What an awful day. That ref crew should get absolutely creamed over this when they get their evaluations.

And any serious-minded Jags fan cannot sit there and say they really earned this victory. It was not fairly called.

Well think about this. On the phantom call on Bennet, it was 3rd and long. If the officials call it right, its a punt. In another situation again 3rd and long and a phantom penalty gives them the first down.

Well, sure... to have forced two punts doesn't look as bad as forcing zero, but it doesn't change the fact that the defense was horrible in all phases. Missed tackles, lots of big plays, inability to stop the screen and dump off, ZERO pressure, unimaginative blitz packages, busted coverages, etc.

The Falcons, Dolphins, and Jags are NOT elite offensive teams, but all three have dominated this POS defense.

Absolutely the worst job of officiating in I don't know how long. A headlocked DB for pass interference. 3 seconds after the play clock is at zero. A WR on his back and the ball gets taken out of his hands--and it is upheld on review. Absolutely horrendous.

Oh and Steve Tasker is the worst commentator EVER.
 
I agree 100%, but this team must start scoring in the red zone! This game should have been over by the first half, why Andre Davis stuck the ball out like he did I have no idea. 0-2 in the division, looking like an 8-8 team. Hopefully things will change when AJ comes back!
 
Maybe their trying to build the Jaguars portfolio to sell to Mexico City .

Jags vs Colts monday night football ... the winner is in 1st .

NFL meets the NBA .
 
How much did the Jags pay the officials? Terrible job by the officials......

I can't wait until December 30th.......
 
The worst call is when our player has his head held down and HE is called for holding. Total BS. The NFL should do something about this crap.
 
I would love to be an NFL official. You don't have to actually WATCH the game you're officiating. You can call pass interference when the ball has clearly already passed the receiver and he couldn't have caught it anyway. You can ignore play clock violations and call interceptions in plays where the receiver made the catch and was CLEARLY down. Must be nice.

Yeah, Bennett was ****ing headlocked and it was a defensive pass interference call. Regardless though, it hadn't even been five yards. The refs sucked today and are definitely part of the reason why we lost today.

Funny thing about it, before the NBA ref was caught a lot of people started seeing these phantom calls. NBA ignored it as a conspiracy theory and it really wasn't.
 
The refs didn't cost us the game, but they didn't help either....

We lost the game when we failed to score touchdowns on our first two drives, and the onside kick really hurt us as well. The onside kick, and Jacksonville playing smash-mouth football, wore the defense out.

As well as the refs giving us bad calls, keeping the defense on the field longer.

I disagree. There were several times when we had them stopped on 3rd downs when they got 1st downs and were allowed to continue drives because of bad calls. They also stopped some of our drives with bad calls.

A few bad calls here and there are OK because normally they even out.

This time, they didn't even out.

Not as bad as expected. But just besides the penalty.

We went Out of bounds a few times, and they didn't stop the clock. The ignored the delay of game...you know what I seriously get tired of typing all the refs miscues. They played a big part in this game today.

And really the problem isn't that penalties are called it's that a judgment is made incorrectly.

Just off the top of my head:

1. The pass interference call on Bennett that gave them a first down when it was obviously on the offense. That was a 3rd down play where they got the first and shouldn't have.
2. The illegal contact flag that was picked up on their TD.
3. The call on Schaub's "interception". Which should have been a reception and down by contact.
4. The 3rd down play where Faggins knocked the ball down but Mario was called offsides. Mario had gotten back. He wasn't in the neutral zone when that ball was snapped. That doesn't mean they don't go for it on 4th and get the TD, but I think it was a bad call.
5. On a first and ten, Demeco was called for an interference call that was bogus.

I gotta agree with this.

Our inability to stop Jones-Drew is why we lost. Our inability to run the football, again, is why we lost. Andre Davis fumble is why we lost.

The refs are not why we lost, even with the bad calls. Good teams overcome bad calls.

6. Bennett was litterally headlocked on a play by Williams, yet he got the holding call.

7. Mathis held Walters on a incomplete pass, even the commentator mentioned "Mathis got away with that hold." yet no call.

It just amazes me how much went in their favor. Someone else mentioned how late the flags were, also it just BUGS and IRKS the hell outta me when they take away the Jags first TD...15 mintues later decide they were wrong and give it back. Late flags just bug me, I think either the refs see it or they don't otherwise its like saying "Well it kinda looked like a hold...(5 seconds later flag comes out)" it just bugs me.

Just have to post so I can vent before my head explodes. I'm sure Jag fans will think we're just making excuses, but I'm not posting it as an excuse, we did a lot to lose the game ourselves as well. The refs were unbelievably bad. I want to see some of their medical records because I'm convinced the NFL hired some that are legally blind.

The one where Bennett was in a headlock and got flagged was ridiculous. I almost had a coronary. I'm about to have another thinking about it again.
 
I know some of you are looking for excuses but bad calls are part of the game. We've had them too. Remember Carr's game winning "TD" where he failed to get even close to the goal line. You lost, deal with it as we had to in that case.

We'll see you in our house soon enough. I don't think anyone is saying the refs are the reason we lost, but if you think the refs did a good job you're as blind as they were.

I can't wait until the Jags get to houston and cram another loss down your throats.

And yes, as a matter of fact I think they did a GREAT job officiating today!!!

We have to deal with it, but we have every right to complain when the Refs just completely ignored calls.

Deal with it...I guess, David Stern told Cuban that and later found out his refs were gambling. Not saying this is the same, but there were too many FLAT OUT HORRIBLE calls for some of us to deal with it this time. Sorry if you think it takes away some of the credit for your win. I'm serious not sarcastic on that. I am not trying to take away credit from your win, but I find it hard to ignore when the refs just ignore a delay of game, fail to stop the clock when we go out of bounds, and all the various other miscues.
 
Thanks for proving my point. Your last answer let me know what you are and that I no longer need posts wasted on you.

Where is the one Jag fan that actually has football knowledge. If 1stdown still around?

You all whooped our azz. No debate there.
But seriously, this was the worst job by the officials I have ever seen. It wasn't just 1 or 2 bad calls, it was literally 7 or 8 WTF type calls.

Thanks for that.

I don't mean to take away credit for the Jags. I think most of them know the better team won and they probably would have won without all the BS calls, but we are not going to ignore them on OUR board.

On OUR board we can say things like "Do you think we would have won this game with Andre in?" we are not going to your boards whining about the refs or injuries. We are here just discussing how horrible they were(the refs). Seriously, they were bad beyond bad and if it was one or two bad calls I could just ignore it.

Yet it was 7-8 WTF moments in the game.
 
No doubt the refs didn't help one bit, but the jags took it to us today. We had many opportunities to seal the deal on the jags in the first half, but we just couldn't. A fumble by davis at the one yard line, an overthrown pass to KW in the endzone, fumbles by the jags in their own territory. We didn't execute and Jacksonville finally took advantage of it. In my opinion, Kubiak was completely outcoached today on all cylinders. Good ST play on the surprise onside kick, taking chances on 4th down and converting them, and taking advantage of the Texan's defensive weaknesses. I was as mad at the refs as the next guy, but it didn't affect the outcome.
 
Funny thing, I just read the recaps of the game, watched the highlights on NFL network and ESPN. I don't see or hear anyone saying anything about the officiating except you guys.

It's tough to lose isn't it? Gotta blame someone don't ya'???
