against team
We know that everybody's against you, and all we have is us. That's what makes this team so strong.
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
bit cut everybody gets great lucky perfectly tried underneath
Everybody gets lucky sometimes. That was one of those plays. ... I tried to take a little bit off of it so he could cut underneath it. (Randle El) read it perfectly and made a great play.
felt game halftime knows took watched
Everyone that watched the game and knows how I play could tell there was something on my knee, ... I didn't feel as mobile. We took it off at halftime and taped it and it felt a lot better. If I can go without a brace, I'm going to do it.
chance except firing game guys knew locker win
No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.
handle sure
Obviously, Tommy can handle this team, ... but I'm going to make sure that I'm out there.
excited fast hurts obviously parker watch willie
Obviously it hurts us to have Duce and Jerome hurt, but ... I am excited to watch Willie Parker play this week. He is a fast guy. He has got a lot of moves.
again game help offense offensive passing run strength
Obviously, the strength of our offense again is going to be our offensive line, ... I think that will help in our run game and in the passing game.
fire fuel helps move obviously
Obviously that helps fuel the fire a little bit. But you move on.
backs battle job knew lead pulled
My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.
beard bit depression ended game kept lose lost mad next people shave until winning won
I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.
Oh, wow. That's tough. I'd probably have to go with Willie.
close decide hoping slow turned
When you're a quarterback and you're remembering a tackle... I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and couldn't decide which way to go. I was just hoping I could slow him down.
chance fine gave last nobody week
Nobody gave us a chance last week and that's fine with us.
