It wasn't as though any of them were bad calls that went our way, to my recollection.

Having said that, our inability to control the ball and run gave Seattle WAY too many chances -- such that they could squander several of them and still put up 27 points on us. And that isn't good.

Just embarrassing that we let them score on a big play, Seattle gets penalized for something that really had no effect, and then we let them go right down and score again.

But this game was against one of the best teams in the league. Any positives we can get out of this game are positives indeed. Probably the most obvious one is that Cousins protected the football against a great defense.

I love that we lined up DJax on Sherman's side, and exploited that big mouth on a couple of occasions. Eddie Royal and the Chargers showed that a big corner like Sherman lacks the quickness to lock down very fast/quick receivers, and I'm glad that Gruden and Cousins didn't shy away from throwing the ball to the right side of the field.
