No doubt, we have to get No. 37 back. Whatever we have to do, (we have) to find a way to get him back and healthy in the lineup and ready to play next week.
detroit feeling learned lessons ready seen turning worth
I've seen a lot of years that were very challenging. A lot of turning points, a lot of lessons learned over those years. But I can tell you with all honesty, with all my heart, it's been worth every second. The feeling I have right now, getting ready to go to Detroit to play for a world championship ... it's just tremendous.
almost bringing corner great job ready safety
They do a great job of bringing them. They corner blitz, they bring the safety, they bring linebackers. So you have to be ready on almost every play that they're going to bring somebody.
bowl convinced enjoying forward last looking move ready super
I was convinced that we would come out here and it would be a real celebration, that it would be a culmination of our season. But I'm looking forward to being out here and really enjoying this time, soaking this all in just as I did the Super Bowl last week, and just get ready to move forward.
definitely difference eliminated fact gets issues past worry
I think a lot of things that plagued us in the past, where we definitely had some off-the-field issues ... I think the fact that we eliminated a lot of that stuff, and we don't worry about who gets the credit, that's made all the difference in the world.
bobby continue guys hopefully offense philosophy playing proven until wait
Our philosophy on offense is to wait for opportunity. Those guys have proven they can play when they get that opportunity. Eventually, we'll get Darrell and Bobby back. Until then, hopefully those guys can continue playing well.

We are going to play for the NFC Championship; that is not something you hear everyday.

Just things that I've never experienced in my life.

I think everybody in this town will be fired up. People will be going crazy, it will be pandemonium.
game glamorous guys love nuts
You have to be nuts to do what I do. It's not necessarily a glamorous position. You have to really love the game because most guys don't want to play it.
basically came career coming marked remember struggling
We basically came from the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10, just coming off a 2-14 season. We were a struggling bunch, and I didn't know if my whole career was going to be marked by disappointment.
basically came career history marked offense remember season struggling
We came from basically the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10 and had just come off a 2-14 season and . . . had the third-worst offense in the history of the NFL. We were a struggling bunch. I didn't know if my whole career would be marked by disappointment.
alone chance gave near nobody ran straight super underdog worry year
You know, we've been an underdog all year long. And that's fine. I don't worry about the odds-makers and all that stuff. Nobody even gave us a chance near the end of the season, after we ran off 11 straight games, that we would even play for the NFC Championship, let alone the Super Bowl.
