    OK - first play…if DJ catches that it’s probably a TD.

    After that first play our offense utterly collapsed into a black hole until just before half time with the 93(?) yard drive that ended in a missed 61-yard FG that never should’ve been a 61-yard FG. It was at this time that KP died along with it what scant hopes and dreams we had for the remainder of the game.

    The field conditions were…not ideal. Not sure if that contributed to Minkah’s injury, but DJ was out there slipping like he wasn’t wearing cleats.

    To those of you saying that Kenny Pickett is not the answer, I say, you may be correct. You know who else is also not the answer? Mitch Turnover Trubisky. Lastly, I love Rudolph as a backup and all, but he’s essentially the same as Mitch but with less arm strength.

    Minkah is out with a hamstring injury vs. the Titans and probably for the following week vs. the Packers. If not more. Our secondary is tertiary at best. JPJ honestly looks pretty convincing. But everyone else back there looks like hot fucking garbage most of the time. People are so wide open I could throw to them.

    I have nothing bad to say about our pass rush. We were in the backfield most of the game. Please keep doing that, yes.

    Our offensive line looked much worse yesterday.

    Now onto the most important position - the guys in zebra stripes fucked us harder than…someone help me out here; I’m trying to describe it without sounding too gross. “We got fucked” doesn’t cover it, but the entire first half was the most inconsistent officiating I’ve seen in quite some time.

    You can’t call RTP on the T-Law hit but not call it on the Kenny Pickett hit when he actually fucking got hurt and it was essentially identical. Get that shit the fuck out of here. The “offensive offsides” was honestly even more brutal. Bad enough that Boswell went ahead and called out the hot garbage.

    From there we move onto the final bullet point for the Jags games. The fans. I haven’t been annoyed by fans that much during a losing contest in I don’t even know how long. Would we have won with competent officiating? I don’t know. Honestly? If the officiating had been on point and we did win I know it would’ve been an absolute nail-biter and I think it more likely to be a close loss than win.

    Bottom line - I’m going to shit all over the Jags when they lose next time. Even more so if there’s bad calls. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
