As the week one knee jerk reactions are running rampant, it is refreshing to see some reasonable words from both the head coach and general manager in our two lead off articles from today’s news.

The team message in the locker room was “disappointed, but not discouraged” which seems pretty reasonable to me to hear.

It was just one game.

The schemes are new.

We have a new QB.

We only lost by one score and were in it up until the last minute.

That’s decent football and is something this team can build upon moving forward.
