The effort of the 2011 sucked too, although not at that level.

The beginning of 2011 was lousy conditioning. Poor decision on Haley's part. After that, there were only 2 games where the team didn't look like they showed up to play in 2011. Miami and New York.
But in well over half of the games, the effort and toughness were there. You can say that those occasional lapses in effort are a failure on Haley's part. But it's crazy talk not to see the difference in effort in half of the games where we were competing in 2011 vs. any and all games in 2012.
