Additonally, there ARE tangible issues that we all can see. To ignore them and blame poor play on an intangible is intellectually dishonest. It really is a cop-out. It is saying "All those complicated real things can be fixed in one fell swoop with just a little more caring" That is just silly. As Tripp mentioned the human effects on the game do exist and in some cases they can be the cause of poor play but they don't explain everything, espcially the real tangible things we CAN see and they certainly can't be quantified in anyway. To those who think "heart" is the answer I'd suggest just being honest and objective about your team. Watch some replays and see if you can find the spots where a guy gets overmatched because he wasn't as good as the other guy and look for the spots where a guy just gave up or got beat because he didn't care. You'll find a lot more of the former.
