cost field goal missed sick
I'm sick to my stomach. No missed field goal cost us this game. We had many opportunities to win. That's the disappointing part.
completion dumb help nice run
Just when we'd get something going, we'd get a dumb penalty. We'd get a nice run or big completion and then get a penalty. We just didn't help ourselves.

Initially, I said, 'This is the week they're going to let him play,'

direction few figured fourth heard middle minutes pittsburgh quarter talking
No one was talking about it on the sidelines, you figured that was the direction it was going. About the middle of the fourth quarter I went up to someone on the sidelines, I heard Pittsburgh was up 14 with only a few minutes to go. I figured it was the way it was going to go.

brought career carry charge chose coach coming deal direction expected explained felt good great kansas louis memories number numerous occasions onto personal responsibility shared situation starting though three towards tried
From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

So we said, 'You know what? Everything's moving pretty good. Why take any chances?' I understand where coach is coming from.
