You are absolutely right, but the correct comment is to say "Just another sad indication of what happens when you don't play up to YOUR CAPABILITIES". I think we can all agree we are a better team than what we showed. So it's either they are not playing to their potential (90-95% likely), or we are all wrong and the team really isn't any good (5-10% likely).
(keep in mind TEAM means the coaching staff as well)

You're right.....That probably would have been a more appropiate way to phrase it.
