I don't think he faded under pressure. I had complete confidence in him.
Seneca is a talent, we all know that. That definitely was a spark for us.
Talk is kind of cheap in situations like that,
He doesn't get the respect that he probably deserves. He's a great player for us and always has been since I've been here.
Boring is probably not the word. Frustrating is probably a better word.
This looks like a much better Falcons team than we saw eight months ago, ... They look very impressive, and I'd have to say that they look like the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl right now.
You're going to have games like this. You just have to sulk about it tonight and then get over it.
My dad has been a huge influence on my life. He's been injured, drafted into the NFL. He's started, been benched, cut and traded. I've watched how he's gone through those good times and bad times.
I've never been a part of a game like this. We set out trying to get a couple of goals accomplished. I think we took care of, statistically, some things we were trying to take care of. Probably more important, we were just trying to stay healthy also.

Being in the locker room and talking to all the people in there, I realize this a big deal to a lot of people.
I'm a little bit in shock right now. Standing up on that podium, raising that NFC championship trophy, in front of our stadium - totally full - it's definitely a dream come true.
