Cole, I have to really agree with you. I know I'm not as knowledgable about football like you are but I figure I know just as much as the next person. I've following football since I was ten years old. I grew up with the likes of Terry Bradshaw and the Iron Curtain (Steeler defense), Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys, Kenny Stabler and the "hated" Oakland Raiders (no disrespect to Pete Banazek your compatriot) and Bob Griese and the Miami Dolphins. I grew up being a fan of the lowly Denver Broncos who for years were the doormat of the AFC West. I watched while my team went to four Super Bowls and lost by larger and larger margins but the fans stuck by the team through thick and thin. They believed no matter what(or how bad the team was) and in 1998 (when the franchise was 38 years old) won the first of two Super Bowls.

I just wonder what the Jaguars can do as a team. They want to be a Super Bowl calibre team but in my opinion they have a long way to go. Fred Taylor was right about the chemistry - they have none. When the Jaguars go out on the field I see eleven men playing football but not as a team. They have a long way to go before they play on the same level as the Colts and the Patriots. Both teams play like a well-oiled machine because when a player gets injured there is someone else to move into that spot and they do it effortlessly.

I've been a season-ticket holder for a few years now and have sat back and listened to the complaints of these fans. The Jaguars have some of the ficklest fans I've ever seen. We were spoiled by success too soon. I feel we need not only a management shake-up but a team shake-up. I think that the team needs some kind of spring cleaning but what? How about some of the coaching staff? How about a better draft (or talent scout) person as our draft picks seems to be busts lately? How about not paying them such huge salaries for mediocre performancs?

David Garrard hasn't been on top of his game this year and he seems to be running for his life since he has no protection from the offensive line (too many injuries?) The receivers aren't very good - too many dropped passes?, they seem to have problems running the patterns. And now our best receiver is done for the year. What next?

I watched the game against the Texans and the announcers knew what plays we were going to do. Maybe he can improve on his coaching next year since everyone knows what the next play will be. We need a player with good leadership skills(Tony Boselli?) and presence and not afraid to take charge.
