Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 4251900, member: 2524"] Yes, 0-5 as the underdog this year and 1-5 last year shows the team did not have the ability to exploit mismatches to get an advantage over a generally superior team. This was a team of good but limited players, many of whom excelled only at a very specific role, and they played hard, but they had a hard ceiling they couldn't rise above. It didn't help that they basically had 6 guys and so no ability to give opponents a different look. And because the team was so dependent on having every player play their best, when the pressure made them tighten up just a little, the team performance took a big hit. [/QUOTE]
