When you said it was the best thing that could happen I just jumped to conclusions.

Ya, I said "might be the best thing" meaning, if they learn from it and get better, then it's good for everyone.

But it's never the best thing to lose. It might be a learning experience, but nothing says a team can't learn after a win. The whole goal is to win and if you learn so you can win later, all you've done is taken the long route to where you already would have been, winning.

I hope we come back better and more focused but I am
Not going to spin it like its good we played like crap today.

Yes, they did play like crap today. But, again, who is spinning it that playing like crap is a good thing? Play like crap and you lose.

And the crap play today gives the coaches a chance to light a backside fire that COULD help in the playoffs. Bet this takes a little starch out of their shirts and they play better Thursday.

Well, the chicken salad/applesauce outlook is that, right now, I'd rather have a crappy loss than a win with another major injury.
