When things aren't going well, we just seem to "go through the motions" and when it is a particular player's turn to really deliver (e.g. kick that important goal or make that desperate chase & tackle), we just don't do it. We lose momentum, we lose fait and we lose belief.

If our players ran on the field with the same attitude and gusto that Voss & Power played with, we would be winning way more than we are losing.
Yes, when we clawed our way in front, they really needed to get ugly and fight/scrap their way to victory. Instead, they wanted to keep shooting it out with them. I get it, they wanted to win it, but all of a sudden it became a close game and went into hero mode. They had to make it uglier than it already was. Thats between the ears.
