... is how long i was mad after this loss
wow. usually its about an hour max but this was a bad one. thats the longest since, well, the last time we blew a lead to the pats. even the fish collapse wasnt nearly as disappointing as letting them steal the bruschifest from us - for me anyway
god i wish we could have seen how the rest of the game would have played out with the three on the board. of course you cant just take the rest of the plays and assume outcome, everything changes from that point. id have liked to see the dynamics play out with that key difference
but now ive let it go and have an appointment to surgically replace the clumps of hair, should be patched up for the home opener
my last words on it will be for the rest of eternity etc etc ...
i was and they were
losmans actuals: 15/23 164 0/0/0 - made some nice throws, showed good presence, excellent distribution, only one to (safety) very impressive, couldnt hit any chunkables but made a variety of throws. kinda disappeared at the end but the whole team did. a very encouraging performance in a very tough spot
other encouraging signs:
witner: big time play at a big time moment is a great sign. coulda just got lucky but it didnt look like it there. it seemed like he recognized the route and cut it off, very impressive. film helps give pause to next qbs thinking about picking on him
rookies: you gotta be kidding me. you could hardly tell they were rooks out there most of the time. simpson, whitner, williams, and ellison all were all over the field. i kept checking names just to be sure what i was seeing. i cant ever remember so many young guys playing so well in the same game
team preparation: despite unraveling after the stuff the team was surprisingly poised up until then. even afterwards they were still making plays. far from perfect but a good showing in a very tough matchup. as much as i hate saying it, the loss will help them learn
considering i expected them to be outclassed i have to be relatively pleased that they werent
one tough road game down, one to go
24-17 fish then its on to a couple home wins to get my two-and-two baby
