All the NEGATIVE aside

With as bad a game as our defense played, and minus 2 in turnovers (fumble and 4th down), burning 2 timeouts early in the 2nd half, on the raod, in the Superbowl champs' season opener, we were still 1 foot away from likely sending this game into overtime on the last play of the game.

The only thing thats really changed in the big picture is that I think we're now the 2nd best team in the NFL.

I think we'll seen these guys again.

And you're right. The season is a long way from over. I keep thinking though, had GB not taken their foot off the gas a bit if we would have even had a shot at that last drive. I know it doesn't matter. That's how games flow.

I am just completely disgusted with the performance of the D - mostly because I have every reason to believe they can (and will) play better.

I am sad and blue. I'll get over it.
