And while we can't wait too much longer, we know we've got to get this thing righted. We've got the guys. We have the makeup to do it, and we've got the talent to do it.
close definitely felt guys knew looking people shot situation three took
I was definitely looking for the first down first, ... I knew the situation and felt anything that was close to getting a first down was covered. They had some people on Randy, two or three guys on him every play. J.P. was on the safety, so I took a shot at it.

It was a bad throw. I had Jerry for the first down, and it got away from me. It was unfortunate because it came at a critical point in the game.
anyone hurting neck rich says smartest tremendous week
That's what Rich Gannon 's all about. After he got hurt, he was still in the meetings, he was there. His neck was hurting but he was still a part of it and really wanted us to be successful. That pretty much says it all about him. He's one of the smartest quarterbacks I've ever been around. ... I don't think there's anyone better than Rich Gannon . He showed that week in and week out the way he played, too. He was a tremendous competitor.

certainly chances game hurt offense prove reasons responsibility
I think you look at every game and there have been different reasons for it. Penalties, I think, have hurt us. Certainly I take responsibility for things I could have done better and it's been frustrating. But we've got two more chances to prove we can be the kind of offense we thought we would be.
