than at the start of the season and no not everything is bad. I can only compare our record with what others are doing and we are still in the middle of the pack. I see a team like Chicago which has had more than it's share of problems in the early going, but they have an uncanny knack for pulling games out of the fire, especially in OT. I rarely see that in us. We can't win the close ones and it's been that way for a while. We are not a team that performs well in the clutch(the Eagles are so similar, it's uncanny).
NJ is back in spades and it just seems that the balance of power in the division and conference is out of our reach because we don't win the tight games. Hopefully we end NJ's road streak tonight and I'll be the first to cheer it, but I need to see a more consistent team moving into the top 10 for me to get truly excited about them and their chances to be a real contender.
