anybody ball best challenge england front mission playing satisfied straight super team tough win won
Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.
best good mike unique wish
Mike is a really good guy, a unique guy, and I just wish the best for him.
analyze best guys mike situation
There's not that many guys who have been in this situation. The one guy I know is Mike Shanahan, and I don't think he'll tell me at this point. I think you have to analyze the situation and do what's best for your team.
best game might since standpoint
This might be the best game we've ever had from that standpoint since I've been here,
best defense game good great offense shut sign win
Our offense is disappointed, though. They never like to get shut down like this. But it's great when you win a game and your offense doesn't play it's best or when the defense doesn't play it's best. It's the sign of a good team.
best-effort differences giving
What will people remember us for? Are other people’s lives better because we lived? Did we make a difference? Did we use to the fullest the gifts and abilities God gave us? Did we give our best effort, and did we do it for the right reasons?
developing focused good practice stay talented
I think we have a pretty good team. We're still young, we still do things defensively that need some explanation at times. We play very hard, we practice well, we stay focused and those are all good signs. We have a lot of talented guys, so if you can keep that focus, we should be pretty good. I think we are developing into a good team.
consistent few guys next rushing special weeks whether
I think we have the makings. We have special guys rushing the passer. Whether we can be consistent and do all the other things, that's what the next few weeks will show.
fortunate guys hard helped miss practice trained worked
Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.
gives guys keeps work
Our guys were very disappointed, ... They wanted to keep them out of the end zone, but that gives them something to work on so that probably keeps me smiling.
coach deserve guys happen players
Those guys deserve everything they get. You couldn't coach two players that you would want this to happen for more.
coach deserve guys happen helped players seven system work
Those guys deserve everything they get. They have been in the same system for more than seven years now and that part has really helped them. But they work at it and they're very professional all the way around. You couldn't coach two players that you could want this to happen more. They deserve every accolade because they're professionals on and off the field.
early fourth kept panic played spirits third
We got down early but we didn't panic on the sideline. We kept our spirits up and we played a lot better in the second, third and early in the fourth quarter. We made some big plays. We got the turnovers. We got the momentum.
balls gotten knocked loose win
We've knocked a lot of balls loose and had some fumbles on the ground, but we just haven't gotten them. We've got to keep pressing and persevering because that will not win for us down the stretch.
