The difference now is we are getting spanked in our down quarters and our best quarters are a bit meh.
The second claim is almost an affirmation, a declarative statement of fact.
We've certainly lost that ability to control tempo that we had earlier in the season, partly this will be teams examining the Voss tactics in detail and picking apart what works against us and what doesn't. Some of it is due to loss of foot soldiers and the resulting team imbalance.
Perhaps a bigger question remains, are the problem systematic or symptomatic?
