Man I appreciate this thread. With all the (completely unnecessary) doom and gloom it is nice to have a thread I can post in. And I always thought about starting a thread about small positives when we lose and small negatives when we win.
I see many silver linings.
1. Like you said AFC being weak. We can "suck" all year and still win division and have a shot. You never know what can happen come January.
2. All the rookies taking snaps. Carter looked good today, Solomon had some flashes, Coleman with nice TD. Bishop looked horrible first couple of snaps but it doesn't matter. We need him on the field to learn. By the end of the season no one will call him a liability. Let him play.
3. I thought defense was fine overall. Not their fault offense couldn't do much.
4. McD being aggressive on the 4th down again -> Coleman TD. I agree that not running at the end 3x was a mistake but people are way too dramatic about it.
5. Allen was a little off today but still no INT from him (he had some luck today for sure).
6. Bass.
7. Fans like you I know everybody is a fan here and it comes from "fanatic" but I'll never understand why people need to act so overly dramatic in October.
