Actually, in this case I'm a glass 1/3 full, not 2/3 empty kind of guy. A positive post isn't as easy to write as a negative one, so give me a break here.
So on to the positives:
1. Mularkey did the right thing in starting Evans. He had a real nice game, especially for a rookie. Evans is good.
2. Travis ran well for most of the game behind solid blocking. Mike williams did a fine job - and I can't imagine I just said that!
3. Drew threw the ball well for most of the game. Every QB makes mistakes, and although he had a few he had some nice plays as well.
4. Playcalling was very good - way better than Gilbride's. Obviously, it was pretty smart to utilize the run to diminish the blitz.
5. Special teams were excellent. I haven't seen that in years! It was awesome to see a team kick the ball AWAY from our returner. Respect, baby.
Overall the team played like one under a new coach and a new scheme. Some flashes of brillaince that I was happy with. We all knew we wouldn't win this game. I saw some good things throughout the game that I didn't see last year at all.
