[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 17244, member: 77"] Did we make one defensive stop in any of those overtime losses? I agree with Boomer's assessment to a point. The difference between winning and losing most of the time is razor thin and the difference is between the ears. It all boils down to whether you rise to the occasion and define the moment or let the moment define you. We have been the latter way, way too often. However, I think we have high character guys, guys with a lot of confidence in themselves. Where we fall apart is the "team toughness." I think most guys believe in themselves, but they don't believe in the team when the game is on the line. A lot of that stems from repeated bad performances. It creeps into the mind and poisons it. It's the "here we go again" syndrome. We fans do it, I know the players do as well. I bet the coaches do, too. It's the opposite of the Josh Nesbitt days when everybody looked at that guy and "knew" we were gonna get it done. Believing in Josh gave the rest of the team the courage to believe in themselves enough to relax at these crucial times and just play. We don't do that now and it is very frustrating. I was not only hoping, but convinced Vad would fill the exact same role as Josh in this regard. So far, it hasn't happened. If it doesn't happen soon, we need to give another guy a shot. [/QUOTE]
