call encouragement guys hopefully
I'm going to call all those guys and hopefully give them some encouragement.
bite games goal win
Our goal is to win the division. Each of these games are must-win games, and they are because they are divisional games, and they come back to bite you at the end of the season,
came chance win
I'm shocked. When I came here, I thought we'd have a chance to win a championship, and right now it doesn't look like we have a chance at all.
continue drop feeling game grinding teams though week
Just not panicking, just feeling as though you can continue to play each game week by week and really keep grinding it out. You never know, because the season's so long. Teams are going to drop games, so you never really know how you're going to be in position.
chance decided guy lead money playing promised pull somewhere trigger wherever
Wherever I decided to go I had to go somewhere - money or no money - where we have a quarterback that is young and a guy that can lead you to the promised land, ... Playing with Brett, I know what it's like to have a guy who can pull the trigger and always give you a chance to win.
bowl brought coming either error fix game judgment knowing player plays super team weighed worry
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.
bay both green hoped might teams
I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4 and we might have been 4-1, but that's not the case. Both teams are scrounging for a victory.
allowed animosity career green ill mean player thus today toward
It doesn't mean that I have any ill will or any animosity toward Green Bay, because they allowed me to become the player that I am today and to have the career that I've had thus far.
common early executing matter needed start talented
When you have talented players, it's a matter of time. You're going to start to play well. Early in the season, we didn't have everyone executing what they needed to do. We didn't have a common cord, doing things as one. We have that now.
credit deserve guys throwing
When you have Brett Favre throwing you the ball, you aren't going to get the credit you deserve. No question, those guys deserve more credit.
confused far proper supposed
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.
hurting level sure unless
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,
came guys halftime heads
We came in at halftime and a lot of guys had their heads down,
help hopefully notice stuff tendency watching whether
You know I can't tell you that. It's a lot of things (the Packers) have a tendency to do. Stuff that you can really notice from watching film but also little things that I've seen. Whether it's players, whether it's schemes, just little stuff. Hopefully we can use it to help us out.
