Blackmon would be here, no need to explain how much of a play maker he was
Fowler would be on the field and most likely playing well
Marks would be doing the same
Julius Thomas would be healthy and most definitely helping out our offense
Joeckel would be there (even though Young played like a stud last week
D Rob would be healthy, even furthering our success
And I'm sure there's more to name. I'm not one to dwell but we have been rather unlucky as of late. Just imagine this team without these missing components (especially JB) Hey.... a guy can dream right?

So, was there a point to you bringing up all the horrible things that we've experienced recently, or are you just a glutton for pain?

Seemed to be an elephant in the room, want to see what you guys have to say
Thanks for bringing up the pain...Just what I needed
If we didn't have such bad luck:
We would've won the super-bowl if the tacks didn't cheat
Tom Coughlin would've been the NYG coach and got us two SB's with multiple winning seasons
Tony Boseli wouldn't have gotten hurt
MJD would still be here and wouldn't have declined so fast
Gabbert would've never happened
Gene Smith would've had a brain
Garrard wouldn't have had a back injury
The list could go on...
Look at what we are lucky to have:
Up and coming young team that has so much potential
Franchise QB
VERY good players that WILL be back from injury
Awesome owner
Our cap situation is perfect
We can get even more FA's at JT's caliber
Division is wide open for grabs and a potential play-off appearance with it
Things look pretty good right now.

Well, I think a dose of good old-fashioned luck certainly could do wonders for this team. If they somehow get A LOT of luck and beat the patriots* this Sunday, all those negatives you listed will have become a distant memory.
1996 and 1999 we hardly had any injuries. Funny how that works.
Sure if me aunty had balls she'd be me uncle!
If the Jags didnt have such bad luck...they wouldn't have any luck at all!!!
Every team has injuries... We aren't special
This happens to every team. Like the other posters mentioned....
/thread.
By the way things have looked the last couple of weeks, the clots have been the ones stuck with bad Luck.
If only Gene Smith drafted JJ Watt and Russell Wilson instead of Blaine Gabbert and a punter.
I really don't think Blackmon was all that great.

How do you figure? The man was phenomenal.
If the Jags didn't have such bad luck...
They won't be ranked by the NFL's official site as it's 18th team
They won't have beaten a playoffs-touted Miami team that toyed with them last year
They won't be plugging remarkable depth ceaselessly and still competing
They'd have much, much less inferior-complexed fans petrified to consider their team simply on par
They'd have dumb unfootballed PhD/MD followers who believe the team is built, by virtue of their fortitude in dire injury situations, and as unexpectedly, yet most tellingly, announced by its coach
The forum is underwhelming, mostly due to assumed knowledge on matters beyond capacity...quite wayward, and tacky really, but expected
Bortles may have smarts and moxie
He won't shudder if told a poll of profs in college granted him 9 out of 10
Oh the irony of his comment, and whom it irritated
Keep grinding fellows
Go Jaguars

If grandma had balls, she would be grandpa.
I am not concerned with "ifs". It sucks but you deal with it. Players get injured.
So true Truck......
It's what you do with what you have.
it seems as the players in this game get faster, bigger and stronger .....they getting hurt more and more.
No surprise there.
