I know we have all worked games like this. I have been trying to learn something every game, but feel that I may come to some wrong conclusions with these outside influences unconsciously creeping into my thoughts.
What kind of things can I learn from games like this? Can I be sure I'm evaluating my performance fairly? I want to concentrate on fixing what really needs fixed, not on some imaginary problem.
This game has already been forgotten. How should I use the next one like it?

I feel your pain
I had something like this happen earlier this year. I felt like my calls were poorly chosen and the coach was in my ear about stuff I was "missing." I believed we had done a pretty good job, but it felt wrong at the time.
I talked with my partner after the game, I thought through it all several times and identified calls that I had questions about, then I posted some specific questions here. It all helped. It took a couple of days, but then I was able to put that game to bed, and more importantly, I can face similar situations in the future a little better prepared.
