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 any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
I think he's a courageous guy. We need to get everything else on offense working together. All of us working together, including myself. I think he can make plays to win games for us.
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 FedEx Field the way I sure remember it, ... We needed everything we could get today to win this game.'
That was FedEx Field the way I remember it. I really appreciate it and I want to say thanks to the fans. It was a big deal. We needed everything we could get today to win this game.
We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
We fought hard all day and kept slugging. I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

You make sure you cover all the things we did poorly. Sometimes in a win like that, you have a tendency to say we played great, but you miss a lot of things that we did poorly. Penalties were definitely a problem. We turned the ball over. ... We've been riding a ragged edge. That's not good football. We've got to fix it. We've got to look at it as a great win, but there's things we need to improve upon.
When are we going to start getting it done? I don't know. I know we're here for the long haul. So, at some point, we've got to start getting it done if we're going to win football games.
Here is one of the biggest games I've ever been at, and Patrick Ramsey has to go in and try and win it for us. He's handled this situation better than I think anybody could, and it's a tribute to his character. He was ready. He stepped in and made some plays for us.
Certainly I'm treating this as starting all over again and seeing if we can develop a winner in Washington. It's a tough league. We'll see what happens.
