Okay, that's fair. Everybody has off-days, even in the playoffs. But until this year, they never occurred frequently enough to get on my nerves.

Hey, that's cool. I can respect that.

I guess our definitions of "when the chips are down" are somewhat different is all. I certainly don't expect them to go 82-0 in the regular season -- I take off work early if there's not much going on -- but as soon as the playoffs start is when I expect them to go into "maximum" mode.
