2 weeks is not a trend. But it is a start.
Yesterday was a day for venting given the obvious reasons.
But it would be amazing for everyone to embrace their inner Soulfish to share some of the positives we are seeing this season and after last game.
Ultimately we are lucky to get football. That itself is a positive considering the year so far.
(Remember when Wilson once once played the whole year somewhat hobbled? With what seemed like a high ankle sprain? He refused to let that stop him. His will and belief alone have kept this team in playoff contention for some time now. The universe giving us Wilson seems like it was trying to make up for Tom Flores.)
At one time it felt we needed to trade him because we would never use him right. If we were going to just run the ball and play defense, with our defense falling apart it made no sense. But we finally abandoned doing what we were getting weaker at and focused on what we were best equipped for.
I honestly never thought I would see the day we unleashed Russ to his full potential.
Positives in no particular order:
1. Ditched our infamous 'slow start'
2. Rookie on the OL contributing
3. Wilson, Metcalf, & Lockett
4. Schotty (I never ever thought I would say this)
5. We are beating decent teams
6. Wilson embracing his inner Aaron Rodgers*
7. Adams
* Some dispute this actually happened. But since it might have led to the change, Wilson demanding and then getting change in our offense has to be a huge positive so far this season.
Even with the defensive issues, for the first time in a long time, we might be able to win a divisional playoff game. That would be a huge step forward.
What are the biggest positives so far?
