Re: 12th's Five Bright Spots
I agree with all of your bright spots. Rock is awesome. And I was so happy to see Santana get back on track. Play calling was overall pretty solid, but eventually we have to score more than the 14-25 point range to win ball games. We're not there yet. But aside from the 4th and 1 where we tried the 50 yd FG, I was okay with it. Maybe a few more creatively placed runs in the 2nd half (only 4 rushing plays all 2nd half?).
Jason looked awesome overall. But damn it, does he have to fumble EVERY time he gets sacked? That aspect is getting a little ridiculous. And the Newman pick was just a bad decision by a QB in his 17th game.
As far as character, that's my favorite part. Our guys believe in each other and the coaching staff, and never quit. Gotta respect that. Makes me think of Pacino's "inches" speech from Any Given Sunday. We claw with our fingernails for that inch.
Sean Taylor plays and we win.
I do disagree with one thing you say: I'm NEVER "somewhat okay with a loss."
