Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.
That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
Certainly I would hope that this victory would be one that the guys say, 'Hey look, we're never out of something,' ... We're going to keep fighting no matter what. I hope we can kind of build on that and correct the things that we did poorly.
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
I like our attitude. I like the fact that we have a lot of fight to us.
It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.
I've got to tell you, for a little old guy fighting his guts out, we really like him. We've got some tough decisions there to make, and certainly he stood up.
A loss (Sunday) would have meant your back was against the wall and you're pretty much fighting week to week just to survive. To wind up 5-3, this puts you in a much better position. ... It gives you the feeling that you're fighting for it rather than trying to come off the floor.
The little guy fights his guts off, we really like him. We got some real tough decisions to make. Certainly he stood up tonight, he really played well. Those are the things we need to see.
It's been a real struggle for us, ... And the only way you get out of it is to fight our way out of it.
I think we realized what was at stake,
I think we've got a ton to play for. Each one of these games is kind of precious to us. We need to get back on the winning track. Everyone can count the numbers. We've got five wins; we've got five games left.
I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me. ... It seemed like we were kind of all of us together on it.
I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
