There was one legitimate bad call and that was the fumble recovery. I am not sure it was so much a bad call as it is a really bad rule. Down by contact has been brutal since the day it was first called. Get rid of it and put the whistles away until the play ends. If the play is going to be reviewed anyways just let it play out. This happens a few times every week.
As far as the pass interference calls go both were deserved and I counted two more that could have been called. And you can't base bad officiating on holding calls as they are mostly BS anyways. Thye miss calls and make them up all the time on holding and in general is really bad in every game.
The Jaguars went soft and Brady took advantage. Step on Brady's throat when you have a chance or he will come back at you. The Jag's play calling was way to conservative and Belichick picked them apart.
I am glad that the Patriots made it. If the Eagles are going to win I want them to topple the Kings. Belichick is the best damn coach in football and it is not even close. Pederson has his work cut out for him to figure out a way to make Foles look good knowing Belichick and Patricia are already scheming on how to take those plays away. This game will be about adjustments and execution. Something the Jags failed miserably at.
