Maybe this is a cue for fans to be more supportive of jones. Feel like he gets treated unfairly. I always hear comments about how he disappears or takes off plays. He seems to be the first guy people blame when the defense has a shaky few drives. Now the refs are after him because he does too much. I’m still livid about the bullshit taunting penalty - even if I don’t know what he said, refs should not make a game changing call over words. And the roughing call and the holding miss were egregious missed calls.
He’s taken way more bullets from the fan and the nfl, and it’s mostly over nothing. It’s not like the dude doesn’t work hard or is punching people. It’s not like he took his pay day and turned into a fat slob. Sure a contract that size invites criticism but by and large he’s still playing like a star.
It’s hard to forget the look in his eyes after both the taunting and roughing penalties. The dude wasn’t angry. He looked devastated. The guy plays with a lot of heart. It’s time we appreciate him again.
