We were THAT close.

You could also do the same routine analyzing defensive gaffs as well. 

It just looks to me that 95% of Trevor's mistakes appear really easy to fix. Very few look worrisome to me.

Of much, much greater concern to me is the OL and the secondary. Their mistakes appear much more worrisome, with LG appearing near hopeless.

100% which is why I think a lot of us are frustrated but optimistic.

I also think if Campbell breaks up the pass against Dotson that won the game, the Jags actually win that game. There were so many missed kicks to win games and even if he makes it, getting into field goal range is a totally different mindset than having to score a TD.

Nope. Not alone at all. Been with this line of thinking since the game finished up that very same day. Cited it a few times. It feels really, really GOOD to be just nit picky over a close loss this year Vs. being down and out with no hope moving forward over the last two year's of god awful outings. 

Confident this team gets it right more times than not this year. I was ecstatic after this team came out in the 2nd half and CLEARY had a discussion as a team and made adjustments that not only worked, but, like you both have pointed out, had they executed a little bit better earlier on or later in the game?

We're 1 - 0 and riding high now drunk with optimism as a fanbase with this season opener at home this Sunday. Would I like to be drunk with optimism? [BLEEP] yeah! You betcha! 

I am still happy with a little buzz right now of optimism. I'll take that too!
