Happier, but still not happy

How I wish all of you who want to rain on other people's parade would at least have the decency to

a.- get their facts straight
b.- keep the adjectives to a minimum

1.- The Jaguars are NOT a "confused" team. They are a hardnosed, well coached team. You have to be a well coached team to be 5-2 in the AFC.
And who is this "big middle DT" that did not play? Stroud? Henderson? THEY BOTH PLAYED!
And what team is not injured at this point in the season? How about the Saints playing without their starting center, or without Deuce, or a hobbled Charles Grant, or without their SP star (Gleason)? What, those don't count?

2.- So a QB whose name is not on ESPN 24x7 threw for 340-some yards. Ok.
I don't know, maybe is me, or maybe it is that the defensive game plan was to commit to stop the Jags' bread and butter, the run, with those 2 no-names, who are they? ah, Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, who combined for 84 yards rushing.
The McKenzie INT wasn't a "rookie mistake" or "bad luck"; it came about because of the pressure the d-line was putting on the QB when he threw the ball.

3.- Sure Mare stinks at FGs. And the Saints are missing Gleason in coverage. And you forgot to add jason David here...

4.- Here you contradict yourself. In point 1, you said the Jaguars were missing their starting CB. Wouldn't it follow that a good coach would try to exploit that? i.e., throw the ball? And since when any mix of plays is 'historically good" or "historically bad"? You probably should tell that to the Patriots. Maybe Bellichick will see the error in his ways and start running the ball more. I tell you what's historically bad: trying to stick with a game plan no matter what and not taking what the defense gives you. Also historically bad, not scoring more points than the other team.
Not to mention that many of these passes as swing/screen passes to Reggie, which takes me to...

5.- Reggie ran 17 times for 72 yards. For those who like stats, thats 4.2 a carry. He also caught 7 balls for 43 yards. How many of those balls were caught pass the LOS? 1? 2? And of those balls that he caught past the LOS, how far? 1 yard past the LOS? 2? 5? Most of the "passes" that go to Reggie are behind the LOS, and account to no more than a long hand off.

6.- There are no mortal locks in the NFL.

7,- What's this? It's the NFL. Anyone can beat anyone any given Sunday.

8 .- Not necessarily true. Just as the Giants have won 6 straight, they can lose 6 straight (did it last year). You may think that the Lions are going 14-2, the Packers 15-1, etc... but there's plenty of season still. Let's just see how it goes.

You are not negative, you just like to poop the party and are misinformed.
