He is always going to find a way to laugh and enjoy himself. But it's one of those things, it comes off balanced. He knows when to get serious and he knows when to laugh.
We were really enjoying the laughs. All that is part of this experience.
Some of it seems like it is going to go fast, then some of it is going to go slow by next Thursday before the game. We are going to enjoy where we are, but we know that our only goal is for (Super Bowl) Sunday.
This is all new to us. Mike tells us all just to enjoy the ride.
Just have fun with it all. This is one of those things where it will be like, 'Dang, we got here once.' Of course we don't want it to be like that, but it is possible. So the best thing for us to do is just enjoy this all and then Sunday, be ready to just play unbelievable.
I think we showed a lot of people about this team.
I think that, come January, we will be one of the offenses that everybody is going to fear. Everybody forgets that Jacksonville and Atlanta have a very good defense. I think we've done well against them.
Kobe scored 81 points. I was asking the guys the other day, 'How do you score that many points in a game?' That's like scoring seven touchdowns.
I saw that team take the growing pains and get to the playoffs, then win the division. I want to be here to see us win three or four Super Bowls. That's my only goal. So for me, I'm like, 'OK. If you guys are handling that side of it, call me when it's really, really ready to get done.' But as of right now, I'm going to try to do everything I can to get this team to the Super Bowl.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
We've got so much to be thankful for. I just want to thank each and everyone of you all for making this the best stadium in the world!
Referees have a hard job. I'm not going to just go out there and bash them. But at the same time, whenever there's a tough situation, you always want your call. If we had got all the calls, then Pittsburgh would be flipped around. That's football. Referees try their best, and that's all you can say.
I tell everybody this team is finally getting to where we should be. We're mature. We handle business.
I tell everybody that we probably have a first-round curse. So the best thing for us is to just skip the first round.
