Help me out here! I know we can find some silver linings! I'll start:
1) The Defense was very good against the run on 1st and 2nd down between the 20s! True they really sucked on 3rd downs and in the red zone but at least they didn't completely suck!
2) It looks like we'll save some cap next year not having to pay Geno's escalators/incentives! We were all worried that we may see 2nd-half-of-the-season Geno this year. He decided to not wait til the 2nd half of the season, but graced us with his presence in the 2nd half of the first game! It looks like we'll be able to keep him for next season at a lower price, assuming he continues subpar play!
3) Wagner didn't forget how to tackle! He may be slower and can't chase down QBs, but he can still tackle players he can catch! Having at least 1 player on defense who can tackle is a good thing.
4) PC now has perfect film showing exactly how bad his schemes suck, and why they are so horrendous. Even though it's been like this for 6 years, I'm confident that NOW he will actually get creative and aggressive and the new schemes will be effective. A top-25 defense is just around the corner!
That's all I can think of. Help me out here.
