This is the best summary of the whole thing I've seen

The one thing it did prompt in my head is how weird it is that we do basically the same thing - retreat into our shell when we're ahead and eventually crumble - so regularly in big games, under so many different coaches. Guess it comes down to technique of the players or something, in the end? Very odd.
