depending game gives offense ready surprised
Was it more than we really wanted to do? Yes, of course. But in any game situation, you can't be surprised because, depending on what the offense gives you, you always have to be ready to do whatever's called.

It happens in the pile all the time,
ahead buffalo care control ended ending forward fourth games left quarter teams third
We ended the third quarter (of the season) at 3-1, so we look forward to ending the fourth quarter with four games left at 4-0. That's all we can control -- what we do collectively. We play Baltimore, Buffalo and all the teams ahead of us. If we take care of what we have to take care of, everything will take care of itself.
beat boy goal opportunity
Our goal is to beat the champs. If you want to get to the big dance, you have to play the big boy and you have to beat the big boy to get there. We have the opportunity to do that.
beat fans might talent validate view
I think internally we view ourselves, with the talent we have, that we can beat anybody. Fans want to see us be the world champions, so it might validate it for them.
beat found heard last playoffs solution solving sure talk though
You kind of heard it every day for a little bit. I'm new to the club, this is my first year, but when I got here, the talk was the Colts. Just being in the playoffs the last two years and having them beat us, so even though it's the preseason, we still want to do some things to make sure we found the right solution to solving that problem.
beat champion felt good guys knock media unless
Like you guys (the media) have always been saying, you can't be the champion unless you beat the champs. It felt good to unseat them, to knock them off their pedestal.
felt good sweat
It felt good just to get the sweat going again.
We got the win, but it wasn't great.
fourth gone good knew momentum overtime quarter seemed
We can't let this go into overtime. In the fourth quarter it seemed like they had momentum going and ... if we'd gone to overtime I don't think it would have been good for us, so we knew that was a play we had to make.
compete competition feed
We feed off each other. We have our own competition every day. We compete for sacks, and we compete for tackles. We have that bond.
fed room week
We fed off each other because we were competitive. Week in and week out we'd go in the film room and find out who had the most tackles and assists and sacks.
drop fine hopefully instead last point pressure rush saying scheme year
Hopefully we can rush the passer a little more and not drop (into coverage) as much. The one down point of last year was everyone saying that we couldn't get enough sacks or pressure on the quarterback. Hopefully with a little fine tuning to our scheme we'll have a little more opportunities to rush the passer instead of dropping.
league loss seven
I'm at a loss for words. I've been in the league seven years and I've never experienced anything like it before.
