best calls couple field guess home lose next performance week
Unfortunately a couple of calls didn't go our way and we lose again. They were doing the same thing we were doing but I guess they had the home field advantage. I don't know what else to say. It is frustrating, week in week out you play well one week and the next you don't get the best performance that you can get.

game hurts playing shape
It's very frustrating, ... Not playing consistently hurts your confidence. You just don't get that game shape that you want. You don't get that game sharpness that you want because you're in one game and out the next.
