build couple far flowing game guys musical pace players playing relationship sort tough trying
The pace of the game flowing down has everything to do with you being comfortable. My first two years here, we were playing musical receivers, rotating guys in and out of the lineup, guys getting hurt. It was a tough couple years as far as trying to build any sort of comfortable relationship with any of the players out there.
chance coming gave guy half hand step
I was a half step late. He was coming back to the post. It gave their guy a chance to get his hand in there.
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.

It definitely adds a little something to it.
ballgame kept played terrible
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.

Wherever the decision goes, ... I believe this offense will be ready.
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.
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.
matter receiver
It doesn't matter which receiver it is, ... It's always, 'I was open.'

When you get beat like this it doesn't matter what's happened previously or what's going to happen afterward, ... You feel awful right now. Tomorrow you go in and see what you can correct. Then you move on and respond - hopefully like we did against Buffalo in the preseason.
