That talk is back again. I'm reading in the news that the NFL is rigged, and a lot of people are upset that this weekend is going to be rigged in favor of the Bills, due to the refereeing crew being named Brad Allen. Brad Allen is officiating this game, and historically, the Jaguars have a losing record when his crew is on the field, while the Bills have won most of their games with him as the referee. Now, Brad Allen's crew has a huge gap on it. The Jacks have not done well when this crew has officiated. The Bills, on the other hand, well, they seem to love them. I don't know if there's any truth to all the rumors that have gone around. I do believe that the NFL uses officiating to keep the flow of the game going, to insert key points of drama when necessary, especially on primetime television games and playoff games. But rigged? Not completely, no. There’s no evidence that the league actually rigs games, though the patterns in penalties and wins with certain crews are real. Definitely, though, something to keep an eye on, especially if you're putting money on the game. You know, the Jaguars are a small-market team. Buffalo also really technically a small-market team, though. It should be interesting. Does Brad Allen help the Bills get to the next level? I guess we'll wait and see. I would like to think that it's the teams playing on the field that decide that, though. Let's go Jags.#Jaguars #GoJags https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/it-s-whatever--6830625

Well, have yourself a game, Mr. Lawrence. Wow, man. Wow, what a game. These weird stat lines really is, I mean, Denver's offense moved the ball very well, but turnovers killed them. That was ultimately the story, was the turnovers. And Mr. Lawrence, playing pretty lights-out football here lately, you know, really hushed down some of the criticism on the young kid. Don't know, think he should still get a haircut, but hey, man, let's go Jags. Keep the momentum going. Tactics on. Mr. Lawrence can keep his hair as long as he wants to, as long as he keeps playing the way he's playing. It's a good thing to see. I'm really surprised that they won by that much. It's all about the turnovers, man. You know, protect the ball, make them turn it over, sure you're going to win football games. It's a simple game. They try to make it more complicated than it is on every level, believe me. Mr. Lawrence, you know, I'm impressed. Very much so. You know, Mr. Bo Nix, hey, also had a good game. Just lost the turnover battle. Not only did the Denver Broncos turn the ball over, the Jaguars were able to capitalize on those mistakes. They played pretty decent defense, typical Jaguar defense. Very impressive, very impressive. I hope everybody took the Jaguars, or if you didn't, you know what I mean. Don't cry too hard this week. The Jaguars played Jaguar football. They didn't try to do anything fancy. The defense did what it did, didn't allow the big play. It caused turnovers, capitalized on when it happened. You win football games, not rocket science. If you want, I can take it one step further and flow all four sections together seamlessly, so it reads like one energetic, running commentary without cutting any of your words. Do you want me to do that? #Jaguars #GoJags https://sewermeetsthesea.substack.com

I used to be a huge Jaguars fan. Over the years, I’ve drifted away—not just from the Jaguars, but the NFL altogether. The game feels watered down now, a shadow of its former self. I get it, rules had to change to protect players from constant injuries. But at what cost? If you strip away the integrity, is it really still the same game? I can’t watch it anymore. That said, I’m glad to see the Jaguars doing well this year, sitting at the top of their division. A winning team is good for the city. I’ll probably tune in for the playoffs if they make it—let’s say they will. It always makes things interesting. I miss the old days, watching the early Jaguars—’96, ’97. Those teams were something else. So much fun going up there, seeing Mark Brunell, Natrone Means. I remember when we upset the Broncos—it was a rush. Then came that heart-breaking ’99 season. I lost three games to the Titans that year. I was at both home games. Fun and painful at the same time. And yet, we had highs too, like watching them destroy the Dolphins. I was never a big Dan Marino fan, so that one was especially sweet. Really, though, going back into the heyday, watching football as I grew up—John Elway, Joe Montana, Bernie Kosar—oh geez. That was real football, in the 80s and 90s. The hits, the chaos, the unpredictability—it had it all. That’s what hooked me. The early Jaguars had that same spirit, and I loved every minute of it, even the painful losses. Still, seeing the Jaguars succeed today is a thrill. Good for the fans, good for the city. And yeah… Go Jags. #Jacksonville #Jaguar #GoJags https://sewermeetsthesea.substack.com
