Positives

Devin Thomas had a catch and almost broke a long one. Some criticized him for not getting past the marker, but it was very close. He was hit immediately, but almost stayed on his feet. Had he stayed on his feet he would've been gone. Dude has speed. I can't wait to see Davis, Kelly, and Thomas out there with combinations of Moss/Randle El/Cooley.

Considering we did'nt play that well offensively and only lost by 9 points to the super bowl champs, I'd say we have some good things to look forward to. I honestly believe Zorn will fix what is wrong with the offense and the D will get better and better as we go on. Marcus looked great last night and then seemed to be taken out of the game. Don't know what happened there but I love to watch him play. Not sure why Campbell looks so tentative but he will probably settle in as he gets more comfortable with the offense.

I don't know that you can take many positives from the D last night. Almost 400 yards given up, couldn't stop the run, couldn't stop the pass. They did pick it up a little in the 2nd half.

Blache: He's not exactly media friendly if anyone saw Comcast Postgame. I wouldn't want to ask him questions. He looks like he'd strange you. It's early, but I think we might miss GW's this year.

Rock: Played really well.
Man, I hate getting stranged.

^^ its not that bad if you cut your underwear before hand.

Yeah, I was gonna add Devin Thomas' catch to the list. Though it was just 5 yards & he was short of the first down, the fact that they went to him on 3rd down & he at least made the catch, is a start. I think he's gonna have to play more than maybe Zorn would like.

As strange as it may sound -- I thought Moss and Randle El looked more involved and potentially explosive than anytime in the past couple years. They seem to be more comfortable in this offense. I can see a lot of production coming from these guys this season when the passing game gets more in sync. We just need fewer 7 yard routes on 3rd & 8.

ARE yes, MOss not so much. Not just cause he dropped that one slant. I don't know if some of those crossing routes are his forte.

I do think this O benefits ARE as he seems to run the inside routes well.

Chris Wilson's sack was pretty sweet. Thought the D played better, but we cannot give up the run like that. But the gints have a very good and very big oline and a bruising back. (And they played EVERY game with the same group last year--we could only dream of that!).

I liked seeing Portis fired up. All this BS about Portis not liking preseason blah blah blah--who the fuck cares. Guy brings it when it counts. That chip block was badass.

defense held giants to 16pts is a positive. just need offense to get going.

Anytime you go on the road and you hold your opponent to 16 points that's a job well done. The offense kept putting them in bad situations and they didn't break.No question our defense has some serious issues. But we didn't have Springs, the loss of Daniels showed and of course we're playing w/out #21. Plus Smoot got hurt. My hat is off to Blache and his assistants. This one is 100% on that high school offense that I saw last night.

Landry is still trucking after getting hit by a truck.

everyone-- defense, offense, coaching-- got better as the game went on. at halftime i was ready to be stranged. by the end of the game i was thinking, "hey, maybe this upward trend will go into next week."
