appear coming deep dire guess morning regards relief sigh situation
I think we'll all have a deep sigh of relief in regards to the diagnosis. I guess the dire situation we thought we had coming in here this morning doesn't appear to be that right now.
situation
We didn't give him any carries. I was going to try to get him in there, but the situation never (evolved).
advice certainly decision happens share situation wants
If that's the right situation for him, I would talk. If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him. Certainly the decision would be his and I'd share with him any advice that I would give to him. We'll see what happens and we'll go from there.
against detroit home lost road situation three wherever win
We were put in that situation when we lost those three games. We have to come back and win at home against Detroit and go on the road wherever we need to go.
best football good responding situations team
Did we play our best game? No. But when you're a good football team you don't have to play your best game, you just keep responding to the situations that come up.
running rush situation
With the situation we have at running back, we don't have to rush to get him back,
care encouraged encouragement fact gotten opportunity situation super taken tough
He really had a super game. It's a tough situation for him. I am just encouraged by the fact that he has gotten it taken care of and we'll probably have the opportunity to get him back this year.
compete follow naught night situation stellar tough understand
It's going to be a tough week. But we've been in this situation before. The thing we understand is (Monday) night will go for naught if we don't follow it up with a stellar performance. If we don't, we will not compete with this team.
ahead choice forward games guys looking losing path situation three tough
The circumstances are such that we don't have a choice. We were put in that situation by losing three games in a row. We know the path that is ahead of us. It's a tough journey, but the guys are looking forward to it.
bad good happened
I thought we had a good play called. I don't know what happened with the center-quarterback exchange. That was a very bad series.
decisions game good looked
I thought the game slowed down for him this week. He made good decisions and looked comfortable out there. When you've been out that long, you have to get back up to game speed.
given lost playoff road seven straight three week wins won
I think we lost a little from the week off. We had won seven straight and those three road playoff wins had given us momentum. I think we lost a little of our sharpness.
bypass chance drafting fortunate high picking player premier sitting
I think we were very fortunate to be sitting there with Ben. You don't ever want to be drafting that high too often, but we were picking that high, and when you have a chance to get a premier player like that, you can't bypass him.
caught deviate fact focus football game home looking mentally mind needs playoff prepare start team
I think it's very important you don't get caught up in all the 'what if' scenarios. I think our football team needs to prepare mentally to play this football game like it's a home playoff game. The fact is if we don't win, we may not go anywhere. If you get caught up, deviate from that focus and start looking at other scenarios, you start cluttering your mind with things that are very, very dangerous.
