Why this would happen to us? I don't know. We've had three tough losses and a total of five tough losses. I wouldn't want a different group to coach. These are the guys I like. It's up to us, and we're going to see what's going to happen down the road.
Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.
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.
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
We're going to have to wait that out, ... But if I had to guess right now, I think it would make it tough for him to make it back for Monday night. We'll just have to work our way through that situation and see what's the best way of handling that.
We've got a real tough one next week, ... I'm going to enjoy tonight's dinner, though, at least.
You hate to see him go through something like this, ... and we have to go through it, so it's a tough deal. But I think we've just got to deal with it. His injury this time, they said if last year was a 10, this year is a 2. It's not nearly as bad.
You can tell he's very comfortable with himself. I don't think he second-guesses things, which a lot of us would when we're going through in a tough situation.
I was starting all over. It's a tough road up here and last year, for whatever reason, I probably deserved it (the criticism).
We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.
There are players there that you wished you could have on your squad. . . . I had some tough conversations today,
We decided to take our best shot and go at them. We didn't want to lose a Super Bowl by not being tough enough.
I'd love to have a rule where if you play on Monday night, you have to play at home the following Sunday. It's tough to operate on a short work week like that.
If I had to guess right now, it would be tough for John to make it back for Monday night, ... We'll be working full speed tonight to try to get all that done.
