Reeder's Take

   You may have noticed that Jake Delhomme seemed to get a little down on himself easily during Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia once things began to slip away. At times he exasperatedly threw his arms up in the air in apparent disgust.
   Delhomme noticed it too while watching film and said he plans to correct it.
   “You can’t let a negative thought or what not creep into your mind, like, `Oh gosh, something bad’s going to happen,’ because if you think that, something will happen,” Delhomme said Wednesday. “That’s just the game. The game’s a roller coaster, up and down. If you do something good, hey, alright, got to move on.
   “To say I did that great on Sunday, probably not. I think I let things hang with me and that wasn’t me. They didn’t hang with me in the playoff game, I know that. I think Sunday I kind of let it get to me a little bit, and that was something that was very different for me. I think you are always looking at yourself and thinking what can I do better?”
   Basically, Delhomme needs to have a shorter memory.
   “You can’t worry about making a mistake,” he said. “You’ve just got to go out and play. That’s something I’ve always been able to do, and I didn’t do it well on Sunday. How do you fix it? Well, it will be fixed, I promise you. It will be fixed. I’ll be back to me.”
