He's a pro. He gets it, ... He doesn't panic in big-game situations.
That sounds like a question that a bunch of sports writers sitting around a desk should discuss. I don't really have the answer to that question. I don't know. What I do know is that the more I focus on playing football the better I play. The better I play, the better I'll do in those kind of discussions down the road.
Our fans have been fantastic. They are a part of this thing.
The biggest thing was how great our defense was playing. Shortening the field, creating turnovers, all that kind of stuff makes an offense?s job much easier.
I enjoy it and I love it. I'll watch the AFC games and I'll watch the NFC games. Sometimes it's fun to be a fan, too.
He's meant a lot to us, in our careers and as a friend. It looked like he was having a lot of fun. If he does choose to go out that way, it's a great way to go out.
You can't make the mistakes like we did and expect to win the game.
He sets the standard really high, especially at the quarterback position and he isn't going to settle for anything less. Bottom line is he just wants you to do things his way and if you do that, things will work out and he will be happy and you won't have that friction as long as things are going well. It isn't all the on the quarterback but you just have to make it right.
It was big because it was a free seven points that they got. You feel they didn't deserve it and then we had to answer back, because they were right back in the game at that point.
This is not being said with any disrespect, but we expected to win this game. That's what we expected to do.
That was fun n a little sloppy at times, but some of the most exciting plays I've seen all year. Coach Fox promised, by the end of the week, 'We'll put a smile on your face.' All the Seattle guys were smiling.
Some of those people are former players here. Some are coaches that have been around or people in the building. Or maybe it's just some of the people from Seattle who have followed the team since 1976. It would mean a great deal to them.
You should have seen our locker room after that game. It was awesome. Grown men acting like kids.
I really don't know that much about their team, to be honest. That'll start Wednesday.
