couple decisions defensive early ears football fun great job largely line pin points throw
It happened. They did a great job that game. Certainly, we spotted them 10 points early on largely in part to a couple of important decisions by me. Certainly, we had to play catch-up from then on. And when you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it's not a fun day sometimes.
last mindset players took week
Last week, we were 9-4, but you could have swore we were 4-9. That's the mindset our players took and our coaches, too. We didn't play well last week and we wanted to come back and answer.
saw seen
I saw No. 27 on him. I hadn't seen it all day because there's not many times you get one-on-one.
covering gave saw signal steve took
I saw (Thompson) was covering him -- when I saw that I gave him a signal that I wanted to go there. Steve put on the burners and took off.
covering game gave saw seen
I saw 27 was covering him. I hadn't seen that all game long. So I gave him a little signal.
anyone bit nice rod starting
Rod is starting to play a little bit more; it's nice to get anyone involved.
almost eyes hurt talking year
Just talking to some of those guys, you could almost kind of see hurt in their eyes because it's been a long, long year for them. We have no idea what they've had to go through.
early
We couldn't get much going and some turnovers early killed us.
block couple football hits love sees
Stephen has unbelievable vision. That's why the lineman love to block for him. If he sees it, he hits it. There's no hesitation. He hits it and goes. Look what he did a couple of years ago. If we can get him back, he makes us a better football team.
continue dominant easier hopefully last left ready season smart struggled teams trying weeks
Look at Washington: They were so dominant two weeks ago and then they struggled last week. You have to be ready every week. Hopefully, we can be one of the better teams in the N.F.L. But that's easier said than done. If we continue working the way we are and trying to play smart football, hopefully we can be one of those teams. But there's still a lot of season left to be played.
blink center field guess hold knew motion remember seemed sent sky weird
I still remember how, before that game, you could see the haze in the sky from the smoke. It was weird ... I remember getting under center and we sent 'Moose' (Muhammad) in motion that first play of the game, and the field was bouncing. I guess it was the trays (that hold the turf) or something. That's when you knew it was just a game. And it just seemed like it was over in a blink of an eye.
doubt field goal kick lower players win
It doesn't get any lower than this. There was no doubt we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. You don't want to have to look your other players in the eyes, because you let them down.
came care monday move positive scoreboard watched
We came in Monday and watched the film, and now we have to move on. The positive thing is that we don't have to scoreboard watch if we take care of our business.
certain double doubly final kept last owed playoffs saints
We owed the Saints twofold. They kept us out of the playoffs in last year's final game, so the payback was doubly sweet. If a certain two of our cheerleaders can double their pleasure, why can't we?
