I guess that's good in a lot of ways. But the defending champions are always the team to beat. And that's who everybody is focused on.

He's a physical guy, who is a good special teams player. He's a good guy and a good athlete and we'll get a chance to see what he can do, for a few days at least.
difficult felt game gets guy helmets monitor offence team unlike
They felt they can only give you one helmet, because unlike offence with the quarterback, it's difficult to monitor which helmets are in the game (defensively). Or if the guy gets hurt, a team would be without it and at a disadvantage.
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.

Hopefully, it comes Sunday and it's not something that ends up taking a few weeks. It says you've been around a lot of good players, and that's one of the things I'm most proud of. One of the things I pride myself on is being consistent and getting my teams to play as well as they can as often as they can, and I think we've done that.

dan good great judged realize short super win
I think that is probably how he'll be judged in the short run. But we look back now and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was a pretty good quarterback and there are a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who didn't win Super Bowls. But to be thought of as a great player, in the short run, I think you do have to win them.
ended feeling good losing
The two times I've been 5-0 we've ended up losing big games, ... We really need to get this one and it will be a good feeling if we can get to six.
conclusion fortunate great guys mike replace rid
Everyone kind of had it a foregone conclusion that Mike wouldn't be back, but you don't just get rid of guys without being able to replace them. We were fortunate that we were able to replace him with a great, great kicker.
