When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.
This time, I wanted to make sure I didn't come back unless I was able to play to a level where I wasn't going to be hurting the team,
We're not in the proper spots, and sometimes we're confused as far as what we're doing. It's on the players. You have to know where you're supposed to be.
We were distraught. But we have never gotten down on ourselves as a team.
We made it tougher on ourselves. Now we have to go on the road and try to win an extra game on the road because of that.
We still were in the game. When your leader goes out like that, your other guys have to step up and try to make something happen.
We still have a chance to improve on that. Right now, we are not performing up to our standard.
We're going to check our mail, hopefully we don't get anything, because if we do, it's not going to be good,
We played well early on. The first couple of drives, we knocked them out. But we got a little worn down as the first half went along.
We have had a couple of bumps in a row right now, but I'm still thinking extremely positive about what we can do as a team. There's always a chance we can switch things around.
