Definitely plenty of positives to take from the loss.
Soldier field can be a real shithole to play at. In the wet that ground becomes a boggy cow paddock. As the season progresses this won't be an issue, we were unlucky with the weather. You don't like to use that as an excuse, but it didn't help at all.
As the game wore on Lance felt the pressure a little, getting caught in the pocket, forcing some throws and just doing what rookies do but he did some great stuff as well. Threw some class passes for big gains, ran for yards and put Samuels into space. I just thought the communication with him and the offensive line wasn't quite there. First game of the season away from home, let's take the outcome for what it was, a learning experience.
