In the interest of 'always look[ing] on the briiight si-ide of life [dah dum, dah deedle deedle dee];
I really hope this loss nets positive for the team, and I think it can. We could very possibly have been 5-0 right now, but we could also be a very young 5-0 team that thinks their shit doesn't stink. Maybe if this game sets firmly in their young minds that you can do a lot of good things and play what you think is your very best and still lose if you break attention even for a moment, we'll get some more committed and mentally tough players.
I'm getting visions of the team's 'stars' buckling down, Flowers running coverages an hour longer, DJ doing a couple more reps in the weight room, Bowe spending a little longer with the Juggs machine, each with a slow burn of regret and slight wince of missed opportunities pushing them on.
