catch four great last point putting responding team time
What they've done is remarkable. But at what point in time do you keep responding when you have to keep putting in new players? They've done it wonderfully over the last four years, but there comes a time where it has to catch up with you, even with a team as great as this one.
balance cases chance chipping determination determined four looking number outcome plays position talent three trying turn win
When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.
against compete opportunity special
When we get the opportunity to compete against each other, there's something special in that.
ball care clear difference games point position possesses winning
The point I've made very clear to him, and I made very clear to you: You will not play quarterback or any other position that possesses the ball for me. You have to take care of the ball because it's the difference between winning games in this league.
regular season won
We've won the first of a nine-game season. We have a nine-game regular season and right now we're 1-0.
accurately anxious career game might predict problem score surface time
The problem with that is every time I've ever done that in my career it's been a low-scoring game and when I've thought it (would be) a low-scoring game it was a shootout. Going in, on the surface you might think that, but I don't think there's any way to accurately predict it. All we're anxious to do is find a way to score one more than they have. That's all we care about.
chiefs difficult lose needed obviously order
We did not lose today. We got beat. We're obviously disappointed. This was a difficult game, and the Chiefs did everything they needed to in order to win.
came conclusion delighted error man motivation pattern research validate
We did considerable research on it and came to the conclusion that it was a young man who made one error in judgment. And the motivation for it was such that while it doesn't validate his choice, there was no pattern of any kind in that regard. We are delighted we have him.
expect philip playing starting
We're playing our starting players. I don't expect Philip to play at all, barring injury.
game seven won
We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.
emotional philip talking
This will not be too big for Philip Rivers. I'm talking about it from the emotional and intellectual standpoint.
stay
Like a lot of their linebackers, you can get on them, but they won't stay blocked.
anxious chance forward good guys looking none number performance point regard step stone
We have a number of guys that we're looking at and we're anxious to give them a chance to step forward and show us the skills. We have a pretty good idea, but none of that is etched in stone at this point in regard to their performance level.
ball plenty tried ways
We tried different ways to get him the ball. If you give him the ball enough times he's going to make plenty of yards.
