When all is said and done, people really don't care whether you ran or threw the ball. They care about winning and losing. We're going to try to do what's working for us and do the best way can.
We do what we have to do to win games. If it means throwing 50 times, then you throw 50 times. I have always said I would like a bit more balance, but if you have to win the game, you have to do that.
I thought offensively there was too much pressure on Donovan. We didn't do well on third-and-long situations and we can do better there. We had too many penalties at costly times during drives. I thought defensively we did enough there to win the game. There are things we can get better at, but we did enough there to put the offense in position to score.
It's a pretty simple process. Either T.O.'s going to show up or he's not going to show up. He's going to play or he's not going to play. I've said this before, would we like to have T.O.? Sure. We'd like to have him. Can we plug somebody else in there and still win Super Bowls? Yeah, absolutely we feel that way.
We feel that we have the quality to get the three points and we want to win the group.
We wanted to win the game. I don't care about the 8-and-8. I wanted to take care of business and we did not do that.
I think the important thing is finding a way to win the football game. I really think, when it is all said and done, that people really don't care whether you ran or threw the ball. They care about winning and losing. We are going to try to do what is working for us and do the best we can.
As we sit here today, I'm not feeling great about it, to be honest with you, ... Do I think it was the right thing to do? Yeah, when you're trying to win the football game, that's the right thing to do. Obviously, they covered it and did a good job with it.
about three plays that were not what we needed to win the football game.
You're not going to win too many games in the NFL with six turnovers. When you really get down to it today, that was the problem.
I thought they played hard, but I thought there were too many mistakes. We had way too many penalties. You can't go backwards in the National Football League and expect to win football games.
Can we plug somebody else in there and still win Super Bowls? Yeah, absolutely, we feel that way.
Garcia is a guy who's had a lot of success in the National Football League. He knows how to win football games and he's been to the Pro Bowl multiple times. He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great backup to Donovan.
We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
