I saw 27 was covering him. I hadn't seen that all game long. So I gave him a little signal.
Hey, I lost that game for us last time. Two picks early and we're down 10-0. It was the opposite of today.
A loss is a loss. We got beat, ... We lost the biggest game of our life.
It's been a long journey. It's been fun. Never did I ever dream when I signed here that we were going to go to the Super Bowl our first year and the NFC Championship game two of my first three years.
Arizona, do they change their whole game plan to be like Green Bay? Green Bay had kind of played that defense somewhat where they would roll to a certain side, ... Arizona is not really that type of team. They are an eight-in-the-box kind of football team. So we'll see what happens. But if that doesn't happen that should help our running game, because that's an extra guy out of the box.
The coaches saw something before the game and alerted me we were going to go the other way with it.
It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago, ... This was just a big win for us.
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.
I'm all for it. Whoever we can get in there. But if it's still Stephen Davis or Steve Smith, that's fine with us, as long as we have one more point than the other team.
He (Favre) was awesome, I was just honored to be on the same field as him.
I was just praying for our defense to get a stop, ... He was awesome tonight. I'm just honored to be on the same field with him.
I thought because we had never run it out of that formation at all -- I just thought it was the perfect call.
I was encouraged, very encouraged -- we'll leave it at that.
It was good to have Stephen Davis back in there. He hit some holes well and we were able to punch it in for a score. That was the big thing, a nice drive on the first drive and we get a touchdown.
