This team did everything possible to kill its own NET (3 factors below).   From what we are hearing about this team's mindset and attitude after the season was completed, perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise.

The NET is not perfect but I don't think we had the "right mindset" to take advantage, much less not be hurt by the NET.  I'm hoping that the mindset of the team next year is perhaps more normal so we don't get hurt by it.
 
1)  Cruising against bad teams, letting them stay in the game way too long.  (that's a mindset)  Our Q4 win margin was abysmal.  Rightly or wrongly this is a major factor that drives the NET and the 2024 Orange were not the team to take advantage of it.   We were probably one of the worst P6 team in Q4 win wargin.     In fact scheduling more Q4 games might have made our NET worse, because we would be below margin expectation in those games.

2) Consistently giving up large leads that hurts margins.    (once again part of that is a mindset)

3) Getting your ass totally handed to you once you face some adversity in a game and getting blown out going away (once again part of that is a mindset)
