second shots taking
I can see where this is going. Let's back off a second on taking shots down the field. When shots are available. Remember, this is still the same offense.

anybody becomes beginning best bounce confidence few game perfect played ready season start statement talked team time took week worried
I think this becomes a confidence game more than anything, ... I'm not worried about making a statement to anybody but ourselves. This team is ready to get some confidence, and I think that's the best way to put it. I talked at the beginning of the season about getting a few breaks, making a few plays, getting on a roll, and this is a perfect week to start that, especially after we played Chicago, where we took one in the jaw. It's time to bounce back.

I think more than anything, I feel terrible for our defense, because we let them down today. I went up to them and apologized. There was nothing else to I could say except, 'I'm sorry.' They played hard, and they kept us in the ballgame all day, and offensively we let them down.

Sure. That's right. Because they don't come around that often.

That would make Lions' president Matt Millen look like a genius. For once in his life.
best league teams wish
I wish I had an answer, ... At times we can go out and play with the best teams in the league and at times we've imploded.
bargain everybody fall focus games hold importance lose playing pointing seems start
I think everybody realizes the importance of playing for your teammates. When you get in those kind of games where everything just kind of seems to snowball out of control, it's important that you don't lose focus and start pointing fingers. ... When you hold up your end of the bargain and you're accountable to everybody else on the team, then things will fall into place.
