Re: 12th's Five Reasons To Be Encouraged
Sorry, guys. To lose a game to a division rival at home when up by 14 at the half is inexcusable. The truly good teams win games like that. We didn't. To be outscored 21-0 by that crap Giants team in the second half is an embarassment. If we won that game, NY fans would be scraming for Coughlin's head and the G-men would be in a really big hole. (Not to mention, with the jerkweeds they have on that team, they'd probably start in-fighting and their season would implode.) Now, we've given them life and dropped a game that we should have had well in hand. (We even won the turnover battle for a change.) Let's hope that was our worst effort of the season. The only bright spots, as far as I am concerned, were (1) Rock's returns, and (2) Campbell completing some big 3rd and 4th down throws.

Re: 12th's Five Reasons To Be Encouraged
To the negative commentators in this thread--we've got lots and lots of threads hashing and re-hashing the negatives. No one is denying that they exist. This thread rightly picks out some positives. Yes, we've got things to fix. But we've also got some good things going.
Post the good here, the negatives in one of the umpteen many threads on those issues!

Re: 12th's Five Reasons To Be Encouraged
Another positive (don't know if this has been mentioned): Rock and ARE's returns were great. We really wasted a good specials day out there, but it's nice to see that facet, at least, working pretty well.

12thMan, I'm sorry that your intention of starting a thread to focus on the positives has been ignored.

Re: 12th's Five Reasons To Be Encouraged
Another positive (to get back to the POINT!!!):
The response from the players has been all-for-one, one-for-all. They are not sniping at each other. Most notably, CP's defense of Ladell, but it's not just that. I think this team is going to use this as a rallying point, a chip on the shoulder. They read the papers, and, yes, they use the internet. They see what's being said. It's gotta sting. Check out Portis's interview on the John Thomson show. It's linked in a thread at extremeskins (Mods: don't know if it's not kosher to link to them--remove if necessary): EXTREMESKINS.com - Anyone Just hear the entire Portis interview?

I gotta say though, I thought we'd see more of Betts and Portis on the field at the same time. Haven't seen it yet though
