Phantom PI call here moved Jags into FG territory, giving them an extra 3 points.
Even if you take away the Texans TD drive that resulted from the uncalled PI when Stingley got the INT, these examples are at least a 15 point swing against the Texans. Get rid of the 7 points from that drive and it’s still an 8 point swing at minimum in a game we only lost by 3. Texans win this game if we had competent officiating. Fuck the Jags!
I’m not saying we were perfect. We left points on the field that we should have gotten and we have to fix that, but I genuinely feel like our players did enough and would have won this game if the refs did their job properly. The issue with shitty refs is you can’t afford to make those mistakes you mentioned, because every point counts. Both things can be true at the same time. If this game was called perfectly I think it’s a Texans win, but it wasn’t and we didn’t do nearly enough to overcome the poor officiating. That is on the players. I want them to feel some responsibility for the loss and work hard this week to come back strong against the Broncos next Sunday. At the same time, as a fan I think it is fair for me to point out and complain about the refs and their incompetence which cost us points in this game and possibly contributed to our loss.
