Yeah, last night's game left a bitter taste in my mouth too, but there were positives coming out this game. The first half offense for the most part was weak, but appeared to get itself together toward the end of the half, and it played alot better in the second half. I am seeing Brunell getting more confidents in his passes, and hooking up on those deep passes are very very important for not only his confidence, but the receivers. Also, I saw Portis a little more paitent with the counter gap run plays; Clinton is starting to understand how those running plays work and like Bugel said, once the timing is down, it will be one of the most beautiful plays you'll ever see! For the most part, the defense didn't play that badly without Arrington. It continued to be aggressive even though there were some key players out or playing injuried. Lastly, the special teams..mainly the punting team appeared to play very well last night! Special teams can alot of times determine the outcome of a game!
We can harp about Gibbs' foul up with clock management at the end of the game and I am sure he is still kicking himself for it, but I am slowly starting to see things come together and I think we have an opportunity the next several weeks to not only continue with the improvement, but to win some very winnable games.
And dont' worry guys! Think how sweet it is going to be when we are improved, and go down to Dallas and whip up on 'em at Texas Stadium! Believe me...you think them 'boys don't know how lucky they were last night??
