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.
certainly maybe positive start three
Maybe in two or three games, it's going to start to come together. I certainly want to see our first units go out and show some continuity. We don't need to be on all cylinders, but we need to show some positive steps.
best couple effect execute football four game good point teams three together
When you get to this point in the season, there are not a lot of surprises. You have a couple of very good football teams that want to put together their best game plan, and then execute it in detail. There are usually three or four opportunities in any game to make the right play, and have an effect on the outcome. This game probably won't be any different.
contract guys safety three
We only have three guys under contract at the safety position.

For us to come in and do what we did today, it took a supreme effort in all three phases, and had nothing short of that today.
bay came competition four funny girls green league nfl record respect served speaks three together tremendous
His record speaks for itself. We came into the league together in 1992 and I have nothing but tremendous respect for him and what he did in Green Bay and now in Seattle. We served three years together on the NFL competition committee, so I got to know him more as a person. I think the world of him and Kathy and his daughters. It's funny that he's got four girls and I've got three girls, so we've got a lot in common.
defense game phases special super teams three win
We've got to play our A game in all three phases - offense, defense and special teams - or we're not going to win this Super Bowl.
fourth game last playing three weeks
We've been playing well the last three weeks on the road, and we've got another fourth game on the road. I don't know if that's superstitious, but that's the way I'm thinking.

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.
patience supportive three
Mr. Rooney was very supportive through three non-playoff years (1998-2000), and I'm very appreciative of his patience.
appreciate football supportive three understand
Mr. Rooney is a football guy. He wanted this business, and he was very supportive through the three non-playoff years, and I'm very appreciative of that, and will always understand that and appreciate that patience.
appreciation extra gives three
Even at the end of the game, you can see what he gives you, that extra two, three yards. I have so much appreciation for him, more than I can even express. We've been through a lot together.
anybody guys move officials stopped three touch
The officials said we didn't move on offense. But they didn't touch anybody on defense. But they had three guys in the backfield and they stopped the play with no call. That was bizarre.
