A couple more positive notes: Anthony Harris has backed up his crazy high PFF ratings and he's still playing on an elite level. He made several outstanding tackles against the Seahawks and I didn't see him get beat in coverage once. He's picked a great time to explode as he'll be a free agent in 2019... who woulda thunk George Iloka would be on the bench when Sendejo missed nearly the whole season?

Another note: LT Riley Reiff is having a really good season, and it's been great if you remove that awful Bills game. He played well last night despite basically everyone else sucking. Quitely he's been worth the $11M a year they're paying him. We dodged one heck of a bullet when we went after him instead of re-signing Matt Kalil (which yes, the rumors say Spielman did try to do that! *suicide*

)

Reiff has been player much better than earlier in the season, and it wasn't just the poor Bills game.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom - not the end.

Who remembers "The Positives" threads?

It's time. I'm also renaming our game day threads "support group". It's time to get back to who we are.

Okay, I have one!

Well to be down by 21 points then come back and had JUST 8 yards to take the lead and possibly win the game is a HUGE positive! Until further notice wins will go through Dalvin Cook and our running game until proven otherwise.

Our running game looks elite. I think we win in MIN next time we play them.

In the meantime, we gotta keep up in the division race.

It takes me back to the Peterson days when we won all those Lombardis.

Well, I think we are more then capable of beating every team in this division. That's something I guess.

Well, yes, but the problem here is that they're far too capable of losing to everyone in the NFC North.

There was nothing positive about that game (except Cook). It was a winnable game that was given away by so many factors. The O was terrible. The D spotted them 21 points to start the game, and the NFL made sure of it too...

Any one of those is fixed and the game gets won handily.
